Episode 10805/6 (27th November 2022)

Plot[]

Part One: Sarah's annoyed that Carla treats her more like a PA than a business partner. Nick considers using Sam's inheritance money to buy the bistro. Leanne refuses to let him gamble on his son's future. Tyrone pampers Hope to show how much he loves her. Brian tells Ken that Nigel is threatening to walk away from the play if he doesn't smooth things over with Martha. Steve rings Tracy to say he's coming back next week. Eric Sandford admits to Aaron that he's an alcoholic. Aaron is proud of him. Ken tells Wendy about Martha's return before meeting with the latter at the bistro. Nick continues to stall Debbie over the bistro funds. A desperate Debbie calls Lynn, the buyer from the day before, and tries to change her mind. Lynn reveals that her builder found wet rot at the bistro so she's not interested.

Part Two: Michael shows Sarah his loungewear designs at the factory. He tells her his business idea of doing matching sets for parents and toddlers. Tyrone and Hope have a meeting with Hope's therapist. Hope doesn't think she did anything wrong and says she was only suspended because Mrs Crawshaw was friends with Charlotte Hoyle. Leanne accompanies Nick and Sam to Highfield Prison as they meet with Harvey again. Sam asks Harvey more questions about his mum and school. Harvey is more forthcoming this time and tells Sam he's sorry for killing Natasha. Leanne is contemptuous towards him. Ken clears the air with Martha and finds out that she's given up the barge. Martha asks Ken if he'll work on her script for a one-woman show. Harvey tells Nick he's got some money put away which is his to spend on buying the bistro. He hands Nick a piece of paper with a phone number written on it.

Part Three: Summer tells Eric that they borrowed the money for rehab from Billy. Martha has another coaching session with Mary. Nick doesn't tell Leanne about Harvey's offer. Hope demands to go shopping instead of doing her homework. Tyrone agrees in order to please her. Nick and Leanne are shocked when Debbie accepts their original offer for the bistro. Sarah suggests to Michael that they go into business together using his designs and her marketing experience. Summer starts to stress as her lies pile up. She fears the Hargraves will pull out of the deal and she'll be left holding the baby. Nick and Leanne sign on the dotted line and become the full owners of the bistro.

Part Four: Summer can't bring herself to tell Billy about her deal with the Hargraves and tells Aaron they'll have to move away until the baby is born as she'll start showing soon. Lynn's builder returns to the bistro to pick up his tape measure and tells Nick and Leanne about the wet rot. They're furious to discover it'll cost £20k to put right and Debbie knew about it when she sold up. Mary tells Tracy that Martha is back on the scene. Tracy catches him reading Martha's script and asks how many more exes he's going to dredge up. Leanne goes for Debbie in the Rovers and has to be held back by Nick. Debbie tells them the bistro is sold as seen. Aaron doesn't like the idea of leaving his dad for so long and worries he'll have a relapse. Summer tells him she's leaving with or without him. Fiz is unimpressed by Tyrone and Hope's shopping spree, especially when Ruby asks if she can be suspended so she can get spoiled as well. Michael agrees to work with Sarah and not to tell Carla. Harvey calls Nick from prison and tells him the offer still stands.
