Episode 9702 (25th February 2019)

Plot
Shona spots a hammer inside the undertaker's pocket whilst Dane is being buried. Carla can't afford to close the factory and hires Gary to patch up the roof. He's ordered not to tell Nick. At the grave, Macca and the undertaker attack Clayton's prison guards and cut the killer loose from his handcuffs. Shona attempts to stop Clayton from fleeing while Billy tackles one of the assailants. Clayton stops Macca from hitting Shona before making his escape. Craig asks David and Nick for advice on beard oil and is thoroughly sent up for the request. Tracy gloats to Claudia over the house. Claudia doesn't care as they've paid over the odds for it. Macca and his accomplices are arrested, as is Shona. Gina resigns from the factory. In desperate need of a rest, Daniel still has 5,000 words to write by tomorrow. Gary complies with Carla's orders as he doesn't want to lose the job. Sarah doesn't like keeping secrets from Nick. David searches for Shona and is amazed when a reporter rings him to ask about Shona helping Clayton escape. Beth tells Sinead to leave Daniel to her. David doesn't believe that Shona aided Clayton. He prepares to move the kids out of No.8 for their protection, fearful that Clayton will come after them. Roy tells Carla to move out of the flat. Carla doesn't like him living by himself but his mind is made up. Bethany advises Amy not to let her parents find out about the abortion from the hospital. A tired Shona arrives home. David is supportive when she says she didn't have anything to do with Clayton's escape. He sours when she expresses concern about Clayton being on his own. Doubting their relationship, David warns Shona that he'll kill Clayton if he catches up with him before the police do.
