Plot[]

Part One: Fiz takes Hope into the bistro where the little girl chats away to Sam in a one-way conversation while a satisfied Nick watches on. Abi and Kevin visit Seb's memorial garden where Abi is outraged to see that Kelly has left flowers with a note expressing her regrets. Roy advises Nina to come clean to Asha about the anxieties she's suffering. Abi calls at No.7, thrusting the flowers back at Kelly and making it clear how much she hates her. Leanne suggests to an enthusiastic Nick that they organise a play date with Sam and Hope to further his recovery. Kelly regrets trying to tell the world how sorry she is while Dev and Aadi try to assure her that she wasn't responsible for Seb's death. George calls on Eileen, but she hides in the hall while instructing Todd to lie to him that she has gone for a walk. George can't understand how she hated his present. Tyrone finds Evelyn and Phill playing Tenable. He helps Phill with the answers and is asked to stay around for the release of Vera the pigeon. Nick listens in while Sam plays with Hope's walkie-talkie and is delighted to hear him talk to her using the device.


Part Two: Sam looks at Nick hard when his dad questions him about his enjoyment of playing with the toy. Leanne tells him they need to be patient. A drunk Abi leaves the Rovers and sees Dev taking Aadi and Kelly to the bistro. Nina explains to Asha how she’s suffering from anxiety and lives in constant fear that something bad will happen to the people she loves. Asha syncs their phones so she’ll always know where she is. Having found out that it was Gail who put George up to the Christmas present idea, Eileen tells her she’s deranged. Gail is delighted. Abi comes into the bistro and parks herself at a nearby table, staring at Kelly with pure hatred. Phill keeps away while Fiz, Hope and Ruby watch on when Vera is released. Hope expresses her worry that Vera will be split up from her family. Nick apologises to Sam for eavesdropping, telling him that he's missing their chats and how much he's loved. He's rewarded with a smile. Dev complains to Debbie who approaches her sister-in-law and reminds her that she promised them all that she'd rein in her behaviour. Abi is unrepentant. The Alahans take Abi home while Kevin fetches his wife when Dev texts him. She brushes aside his lecture, saying she's had a brainwave about how to deal with Kelly.
