Plot[]
Part One: Aaron tells Shona that her move on him was inappropriate and he has to report the incident to his team manager. She shows no remorse to David for what she did. Clearly on edge, Daniel tells Nicky his visit is a mistake and he shouldn't have called her. Simon, Amy and Emma join Steve, Tracy, Leanne and Nick in taking Oliver to the park and the petting zoo. Leanne can't relax and take her eyes off Oliver. Carla shows Peter the Gazette headline and asks if he had anything to do with it. He's hurt by the accusation. Aaron tells Shona that he's been told he can carry on being her support worker. She agrees to go out for a meal with David later. Daniel opens up to Nicky about how much he misses Sinead. Leanne is delighted when Oliver speaks and mimics a cow's mooing sound. She gets Steve to record the moment on his phone. Michael gets Alina to admit she still has feelings for Seb and advises her to go after him. Daniel leaves Nicky having handed over her £220 fee. David takes Shona to the bistro. He tells her that Ray is a sleazebag who is to be avoided and she decides she'd rather go elsewhere. She pockets Ray's wallet as she goes.
Part Two: David is amused when he finds out, but Shona gets annoyed at his attitude and storms off. In the decorated Rovers, Ken, Rita, Audrey and Norris celebrate VE-Day. Ken remembers Frank's war service and they raise a toast. Peter tells Carla he was at an AA meeting at the time of the assault. Back at the flat, Leanne thanks Steve for his support. Seb and Alina admit they have feelings for each other but she doesn't want to upset Emma by taking up with him again. David finds Shona in Victoria Gardens and tells her how he fell in love with her after she stole his wallet. Rita remembers how Betty met Billy Williams twenty-five years before. Norris admits he and Freda have postponed their wedding. Emma notices that Scott has cut and bruised knuckles. He tells her that he caught his hand on a door. Daniel stops himself ringing Nicky again. As David takes Shona to For Your Fries Only, she gets upset that she can remember nothing about the area, its people or who she is.
