Plot[]
Part One: Sam asks Damon for some tips on fighting to deal with the bullying he's suffering at school. Daniel rings Justin's firm, but they refuse to discuss their staff with him. Daisy receives another text from him. With Eileen due back imminently from Thailand, Mary checks that Todd and Sean have completed her cleaning rota. They resent her supervision and Eileen walks into a row. The Dobbs and the Sutherlands have an awkward meeting in the street. Damon tells Nick that he's expecting a delivery of drugs at the bistro on Monday and it's up to him to deal with it. Eileen presents Todd with some kickboxing gloves from Thailand and insists he and George give them a go. Daniel spots Justin in Viaduct Street and warns him to stay away from Daisy as he's scaring her. He hears how Justin's mother has cancer and is instantly sympathetic towards him. Sam's bully, Conny Otis approaches him in the school corridor, sprays him with a drink and steals his magazine. He stands up to her, threatening to hit her with his telescope.
Part Two: The school rings Nick to say that Sam's been involved in a fight. Daniel takes Justin for a coffee, telling him about Sinead, but saying his own grief is making him confused. Justin agrees to stay away. Dev reveals that his golfing partner has let him down and Bernie offers to step in. Amused, he agrees. Sam is sent home from school. He explains about Damon’s advice and Nick’s angry, making Leanne baffled at his overreaction. Beth breaks the silence with Fiz, wanting to let bygones be bygones. Fiz suggests to Beth that the four of them should sit down and talk through the incident. Leanne can't get Nick to explain why he's so angry at Damon's advice. Justin scares Daisy when he walks up on her in the Rovers' back yard. She's shaken when he tells her that he’s prepared to back off to give her time to break the news to Daniel that she doesn’t love him anymore. Retrieving the boxing gloves from the bin where Todd dumped them, Eileen insists that he and George use them. George takes a swing at Todd, accidentally cracking his tooth. Leanne demands to know what's really going on with Damon. Nick confesses to her that Damon is Harvey’s brother and he’s using the bistro for drug deliveries.
Part Three: Leanne demands they go to the police, but Nick refuses, citing the danger that they would put themselves in. Daisy tells Daniel what Justin said, and he agrees they should go to the police. Todd can't get an emergency appointment at the dentist. He isn't happy when Sean suggests that Laurence see to him. Hearing that Nick lied to her about receiving money from Natasha's sister, Leanne asks Damon to meet her at the bistro. Hope is furious to see Beth and Kirk enjoying her parents' company. She storms out of the house. Beth follows, and making sure she isn't overheard, apologises for slapping her face. She gives her money to buy sweets in an effort to placate the unimpressed girl. Craig takes the details about Justin, advising Daniel and Daisy to keep a diary of the events, whilst admitting there is little they can do until a course of conduct is proven. Daisy threatens to hound Craig for action each time Justin hounds her.
Part Four: Leanne questions Damon who admits he had Harvey beaten up but denies driving Jacob out of town. She is adamant that the drug dealing stops, for Sam's sake, or she will inform the police. Hearing that Todd has a phobia of dentists, Sean books an appointment with Laurence, citing his sensitivity. In the Rovers, Bernie lords it over sulky Dev and tells Chesney how she thrashed him at golf. Daisy’s thrilled to receive a sample wedding invitation and immediately takes a selfie to post on her socials, much to Daniel and Glenda's amazement. Justin sends Daisy a message saying that Daniel coerced her into seeing the police. She starts to keep a diary of events. Bernie takes a call from the ladies’ golf captain asking her to take part in next week’s trials. Dev does his best to be pleased for her. Todd is given his treatment for free and thanks Sean. Leanne and Damon have a civilised chat as she tells him about Oliver. She begs him to walk away for Sam's sake, but he refuses, threatening her and Nick. He promises that this is the last delivery as they are too much hassle to him. She tells Nick she can no longer trust him to handle the matter properly and to leave Damon to her.
