Plot[]

Part One: Emma dog-sits Eccles and Rover for the day, and she talks to Eccles about her love troubles. Yasmeen secretly meets with two police officers in the community centre to learn about Geoff's history of abuse. Yasmeen is told that Jocelyn Walkey complained that Geoff was harassing her, prior to the incident at the pub. She can't bring herself to admit that she's scared of Geoff. They offer to take her to a woman's refuge. Yasmeen thinks it's unnecessary as Geoff isn't violent but agrees to consider it. Gary is shocked to see Kelly Neelan with Asha and Summer in the cafe wearing a Weatherfield High uniform. Asha tells Kelly that she used to go out with Corey Brent. Eccles seems sluggish when Emma walks the dogs. At Dev's suggestion, she takes Eccles to the vets, leaving Rover with him. Geoff confesses to Yasmeen that the emails were from an escort; he thought it was a dating site and cut all contact as soon as he realised his mistake. The vet finds a tumour on Eccles's spleen. Emma gives him permission to operate. Gemma imagines herself pushing the pram in front of the bus as it pulls up in Rosamund Street. From the kebab shop, Chesney contentedly watches her board the bus.

Part Two: Emma leaves frantic voicemail messages for Ken, who's away on a day trip. Chesney suddenly sees that a distant Gemma has disembarked without the quads. He and Paul manage to stop the bus in Victoria Street and rescue the babys. Geoff makes out that he's lost his keys before going out so that Yasmeen can't leave the house. Gary rings Oakhill and confirms that Kelly is no longer a pupil there but they don't tell him why as he isn't family. Eccles's tumour spreads to her other organs and can't be removed. Emma is advised to have her put to sleep. Ryan lets Yasmeen know that he's there if she needs him. Yasmeen hides a packed suitcase inside a locked cupboard. Gemma tells Chesney that she left her purse at the bus stop and got off to retrieve it but he doesn't buy her explanation as she remained perfectly calm when the bus drove off. Concerned about her state of mind, he gives Bernie a call. Ken receives Emma's message and arrives at the vets with Steve, Tracy and Amy. They're devastated to learn that Eccles has already been put down.
