- Cassie Plummer goads Tracy McDonald into slapping her and Ken Barlow forces his daughter to apologise. Tracy asks Steve McDonald to stay on at No.1 to keep an eye on Cassie. Tracy and Tommy Orpington plan to move back to the UK and live in a posh apartment in Cheshire.
- Daisy Midgeley finds it hard to see Daniel Osbourne and Bethany Platt so happy together. Bethany obtains her dream job at a London magazine and is put out when Daniel assumes that she will turn it down to be with him. She is further angered when Daisy helps Daniel obtain a cake for Bertie Osbourne's 6th birthday party. At the event, the two women tussle over cutting the cake. Daisy falls and sprains her ankle. Daniel takes her to hospital where Kit Green is also present on another matter and the two men overhear a nurse talking to Daisy about her pregnancy. Also at the party, Bertie sees Cassie dosing Ken’s drink and she swears him to secrecy but the little boy soon tells Daisy who, in turn, informs Daniel. He confronts Cassie but she has overheard Daniel and Daisy talking about the baby and all but blackmails them into keeping silent. Without knowing for sure, Daisy tells Kit he’s the father and is hurt when he shows total indifference. Daniel is sure that the baby is his, and Daisy agrees to a DNA test. When Bethany announces that she and Daniel have set a wedding date, Daisy sees red at his seeming betrayal and announces her pregnancy in the Rovers, saying that she doesn’t know if Kit or Daniel is the father. A distraught Bethany breaks off the engagement, but still plans to move to London. Soon after, Daisy is doubled up with stomach pains and is taken back to hospital. Kit apologises for his previous attitude and joins her and Jenny Connor for the scan which shows there are no problems, but when he subsequently fails to join her for a prenatal appointment, Daisy loses faith in him and decides to keep the DNA results to herself.
- Evelyn Plummer passes her university entrance interview to read law. Unable to gain any peace at No.9 to study for her induction, she moves into the university's halls of residence.

A murder traumatises the community.
- With Tim Metcalfe’s help, Mason Radcliffe cooks a romantic meal for Betsy Swain as a date. Stu Carpenter offers him a job in Germany. Mason becomes aware that his brothers played a part in the death of Becky Swain and finds evidence at their flat to help prove their involvement. They are arrested before they can carry out their plan and assault David Platt. Betsy drops Mason as he had a link in Becky’s death. Knowing that he’s now a marked man, Mason decides to take up Stu’s job offer but before he can leave Matty and Logan Radcliffe are released due to supposed lack of evidence and assault their brother, stabbing him with a knife that Dylan Wilson is carrying for protection. Abi Webster finds Mason bleeding and badly wounded in the precinct and calls an ambulance which is delayed due to it being sent to a hoax call. Mason dies in hospital. Matty is arrested after several days on the run when Shona Platt spots him in the Freshco car park, but Logan runs off and evades the police. Tim and Sally Metcalfe help organise his funeral. Alya Nazir struggles with her conscience when she finds herself working as a junior on Matty’s defence.
- Witnessing Masons death traumatises Abi who is reminded of Seb Franklin's death. She panics when Alfie Franklin goes missing and explodes with anger at Toyah Habeeb who finds the missing boy. She starts to have visions of Seb but hides her condition from anyone, only confiding in Roy Cropper that she is experiencing flashbacks of Mason’s last moments. Toyah overhears Roy sharing his concerns with Kevin Webster and angers Abi when she suggests that she sees a grief counsellor. Kevin discovers a testicular lump and takes steps to have it checked. Abi seems distant from the news, but Kevin doesn’t fully realise the extent of her breakdown. Abi plans to join Kevin for his ultrasound but suffers a vision of herself with Seb’s dying body and flees home, leaving a crying Alfie in the car. The child is found by Nick Tilsley and Toyah who summon Debbie Webster. A social worker visits Abi, worried that she might be falling off the wagon. Abi is livid that Debbie reported her, not realising it was Toyah who made the call.
- Overhearing gossip that the hoax call prevented Mason being attended to in a timely manner, Joseph Brown hands himself in at the police station for being the one behind it. Chesney Winter-Brown quickly realises that it was Hope Dobbs who pushed his son into it as part of a set of pranks that she was carrying out and confronts Fiz and Tyrone Dobbs about their daughter's behaviour. Joseph is given a youth caution, and he and Hope are made to apologise to Abi for the trauma they inflicted on her. Bernie Winter tries to speak up for her grandson but is given short shrift by Asha Alahan who was one of the paramedics on the call. Bernie and Dev Alahan fall out when he takes his daughter's side in the argument. They make up and Bernie is delighted when Dev proposes to her.
- Betsy is distraught that she never made peace with Mason. She admits to Lisa Swain about her part in the Radcliffe brothers’ robbery at Underworld and is turned in by her. No charges are pressed.
- Dylan is filled with remorse that it was his knife which was used to kill Mason. He confesses everything to Sean Tully and demands money from him so he can get away from the area. Instead, Sean informs the police, and he is taken in and questioned. He takes on Adam Barlow as his solicitor and faces a barrage of vitriol from Abi when she finds out about his involvement in the death. He drinks heavily and is found passed out by Liam Connor. CCTV footage shows Matty and Logan with the knife, so Dylan is only charged with carrying a bladed article.
- Carla Connor is hospitalised after suffering hallucinations and is diagnosed with sepsis which damages her one remaining kidney. Bobby Crawford contacts his father Rob Donovan and visits him in prison, telling him about his sister's dire need. Initially refusing to consider donating one of his kidneys, he asks his son to see him again and this time stages a hostage situation in the visiting room with a pressured Matty taking one of the officers at knifepoint and then swapping her for Bobby as his hostage. Using his supposed newly found religious feelings and invoking God’s name, Rob “talks” Matty into giving up, making himself look a hero. Carla doesn’t trust her brother’s conversion but nevertheless investigates about having one of his kidneys. She discovers she will have to go private at a price of £100,000 due to the cost to the taxpayer for keeping a prisoner in hospital. She tells a shocked Jenny and Daisy she needs the money they stole from her and Jenny thinks they’ll have to sell the Rovers. Betsy offers Carla her inheritance from Becky which will cover half of the cost.
- David is unnerved when an unknown man hands Lily Platt a note from Harvey Gaskell demanding £10,000 interest on the stolen money. Soon afterwards, the gangster arranges for David the dog to be run over and injured. Shona and David worry about the high vet bills and their own safety, unable to be fully honest with the police about the reasons behind their danger. After Shona is temporarily kidnapped and a shot is fired through No.8’s window, an unnerved David makes a joke that they ought to burn the house down and claim on the insurance. The family hides at Sarah Platt’s flat. David contacts his old jail mate Andy Garland, asking him for a favour.
- Chesney receives a cheque for £20,000 for Les Battersby-Brown’s compensation and is able to pay off his and Gemma Winter-Brown’s debts. A planned holiday to Alicante has to be cancelled when he is charged with putting sugar in the van driver’s tank and has to pay £5,000 compensation for repairs, but manages to find a cheap caravan holiday for the family. Leanne Battersby gives Amy Barlow a substantial portion of her share of the compensation to make up for the money she lost to the Altovalent Institute.
- Lauren Bolton ’s trial takes place. Brie Benson, another prisoner, goads Lauren into threatening her on the eve of her own release, and then attends court with her arm in sling claiming from the public gallery that Lauren attacked her. Although the judge orders the jury not to take the matter into account, it creates a bad impression. Dee-Dee Bailey investigates and finds out that Gus Deering paid for Brie to stay in a flat he owns. She informs the court, making an impassioned speech about it being the latest in a series of events in Lauren’s life where she has been badly used by people. Frankie Bolton develops an infection and is hospitalised. The judge allows Lauren to be absent from the trial and be with him. By a majority verdict, Lauren is found not guilty. Gus is furious, though Anthea Deering begs Lauren for forgiveness.
- Daniel tells Ken what Bertie saw but Cassie tells Ken she has a drink problem, and she cons him into funding some private therapy. She then uses Ken’s credit card to buy an expensive present for Tracy which he naturally doesn’t remember ordering, and the family accuse her of stealing. She then appears to be vindicated once the gift is delivered. Ken asks her to move in and be his live-in carer, making it clear to the family that it’s non-negotiable.
- Leanne continues to simmer with anger over Nick and Toyah. She finds an unusual soulmate in Tracy and the two women enjoy the most expensive meal at the Viaduct Bistro without paying. Leanne returns alone again the next day, almost causing a fight with Debbie when she makes a play for Ronnie Bailey. A disapproving Sam Blakeman witnesses the incident. Finding out that Nick and Toyah are booking a holiday, Leanne puts their passports in the toaster, almost causing a fire in their flat. Remorseful, she sells her share of the bistro to Nick and Toyah. She is given community service for her deception and gets drunk after a difficult first day, insulting Sam. Only Steve shows her any solace, and the two end up in bed but mutually agree to have no regrets afterwards and get drunk in the Rovers together.
- Amy goes to a 21st birthday party at a club in Wilmslow where she is thrown to discover that Aaron Sandford is present for his stag night and that he is to be a father. She flees the scene and texts Steve to come and help her, but he is in bed with Leanne and misses her calls as her phone dies off.
