Episode 9062 (21st December 2016)

Plot
Kirk calls at the salon flat with Liam and is unimpressed to find Maria hungover and Adam in a state of undress after spending the night with her. Having discovered the bistro burglary, Robert suspends Steph, pointing out there’s no sign of a break-in and it was her job to lock up properly. Andy's gutted. Having returned from Leeds, Gary presents a hungover Faye with a list of jobs to do by way of punishment for her behaviour. Bethany tries to apologise to him but he gives her short shrift. Faye thanks Bethany for taking the blame over the vodka and admits she was angry with her as Seb fancies her. Aidan overhears Kirk telling Beth about Adam staying the night. Billy gets nervous before a job interview. An upset Steph tells Andy she’s thinking of handing in her notice as she can’t be trusted. He’s consumed with guilt. Maria snuggles down to watch a DVD with Liam. Nick hands Simon two tickets for the County match. He’s thrilled but hurts Nick when he plans to go with Peter. Gary and Sarah make up. In her hungover state, Maria falls asleep. Liam heads to the kitchen where he switches on a gas ring. Eva goes for a night on the town with Billy and Todd. Luke finds Bethany clearly upset on Maxine’s bench. A passing Norris sees them together as Luke counsels her just to have fun in life, and promptly goes off to do just that with a waiting Tracy. Bethany heads for a bus that's just arrived. Kirk returns to the flat and immediately notices the smell of gas. He quickly orders Liam out and then follows with groggy Maria. Phelan gives Andy the number of a contact to sell the tablets. Kirk comforts an upset Maria. Realising that Bethany’s missing, Sarah starts to panic and Gary heads out to find her. Maria is depressed about her future. In the Rovers, Kirk tears a strip off Adam, blaming him for plying Maria with drink. When Adam makes a disparaging remark about Maria, Aidan loses it and punches him in the face. The two are ejected by Liz and a passing Maria hears what occurred. She takes Aidan home to fix his hand. After a fruitless search for Bethany, Sarah tells Gary she’s phoning the police. Maria tells Aidan she won't be seeing Adam again and he admits her love for her. She tells him she feels the same way and they kiss.
