Plot[]
Part One: Chelsey reminds Carla that she stayed in her squat last year. Carla doesn't remember as it was during the period where she went missing. The factory staff don't approve of Sally's neutral stance, viewing Geoff as a victim. Adam leaves Laura his business card and offers to help her chase Rick for maintenance. Chelsey alleges that Carla flushed drugs down the toilet and she paid the price when the dealer asked for them back. She demands £1,000 in compensation. Geoff tells Tim he can't afford the wedding any more. He starts to manipulate Tim, saying he understands him backing his wife over him. Tim assures his dad that he has his full confidence. Ken invites Daniel to join the VE-Day committee as a way of getting him out and about. Tim takes Geoff to the Rovers, where Sally declines an offer to sit with them. Chelsey puts more pressure on Carla, threatening to tell Peter what she did to survive on the street.
Part Two: Carla doesn't know what she's talking about and refuses to give in to blackmail. Geoff tries to guilt Sally into backing him by claiming that their disagreement is affecting Tim's health. He attempts to dismiss her sympathy for Yasmeen as a result of being wrongly imprisoned herself. Gary sees Laura dropping Kelly off at Summer's and asks what she's doing in the area. He's not pleased to learn that they're only living round the corner. Laura says it's all she can afford without Rick's maintenance money. Carla tells Peter about Chelsey and asks him not to interfere. He immediately offers Chelsey £20 to get lost, finding her hanging about outside the Rovers. She refuses it and summons her partner. Daniel is disappointed when Adam cancels their boys' night in and finds himself talking to Sinead's framed photo. Peter doesn't think Chelsey poses a threat as they can call the police if she tries anything. Carla would rather people didn't know she was involved with drug dealers. She's upset that everything she went through last year is being dredged up again.
