Plot[]
Part One: Adam makes Sarah a special breakfast, saying that he's going to prioritise his family from now on. Leanne and Nick can't contact Damon and wonder what he's up to. As Max heads towards Bec’s flat, a delighted Gav runs from a taxi and explains that he’s been released from the STC. Bernie orders Paul and Billy to enjoy some quality time together while she cleans their flat. Gav tells a nervous Max that he intends to marry Bec. When Max reveals that Bec has moved on and she’s going out with him now, Gav’s furious and grabs him. Leanne and Nick return from a meeting with the Weatherfield Market Association which Damon failed to attend. They tell Sarah about his disappearance and Nick finds his things are missing from the bistro's office. Gav is about to punch Max when Bec shouts down from the precinct walkway to stop. When Max yells out to her, an amused Gav tells him that the girl he thought was Bec is in fact his sister Sabrina. Roy shows Evelyn the rota he’s drawn up for Freddie’s joint care. When Evelyn discovers she’s got Freddie whilst Roy is taking Yasmeen to a meeting of the Weatherfield Historical Society, she’s less than impressed but Tyrone steps in to prevent any arguments. Sarah tells a pleased Adam that Damon has vanished. Sarah joins Dee-Dee in the Rovers, but as she takes a sip of her wine, she suddenly feels sick. Struck by a sudden thought, she leaves.
Part Two: Gav isn't thrilled to hear that Sabrina has dumped herself in his flat and is less than happy to hear from Sabrina what Max was inside the STC for. Max takes Sabrina to the cafe where she tells him that she lied about her identity as she didn't want it getting back to Gav that she was living in his flat. Sarah returns home with a pregnancy kit. Max explains his personal history to Sabrina but she's nervous that their friendship has begun with too many lies and leaves him. Billy suggests Paul should come up with a bucket list while he’s still fit enough, but he's down that he can't even enjoy a game of darts with his weak hand. A drenched Evelyn interrupts Roy and Yasmeen's talk about the Historical Society when she comes into the cafe from a walk in the rain with Freddie. Sarah discovers she is pregnant.
Part Three: A worried Dee-Dee calls on Sarah and finds out that she's not sure if either Adam or Damon is the father. Gav believes Max's assurances that he regrets his past. Nick tells Leanne that he has suspicions that Adam has something to do with Damon's disappearance. Evelyn makes Yasmeen uncomfortable, and she makes her excuses to leave her alone with Roy. Gemma organises a game of darts and to give Paul a chance, instructs Billy, Todd and Bernie to throw with their weaker hands. Paul’s touched and enjoys the fun which ensues. Elaine pushes Stephen into agreeing to taking Tai Chi classes. Stealing herself, Sarah hands Adam the pregnancy test and admits that she doesn’t know who the father is. A depressed Max tells Shona what's ensued with Sabrina and is delighted when the girl herself bursts into No.8 asking for tea and toast. Sarah suggests she has a termination. Adam admits he can't think straight and walks out of the flat.
Part Four: Adam calls to seek Ken's advice but he is out and instead he tells Daniel of his problem. Returning to the flower shop flat for drinks, Gemma finds out that Bernie has secreted her most powerful crystals in various places. Sabrina gives Max a second chance but insists that they're going to take things slowly. Adam returns home and gets Sarah to agree to a DNA test before the birth. Hope and Tyrone see that Evelyn is distracted with her own thoughts. Tyrone guesses that Roy and Yasmeen are behind her sulk. Stephen hopes that Jenny can join the Tai Chi class but she has a date with Owen. Nick asks Adam where Damon is and is told that Niall was put on the case to get rid of him. Roy shows Evelyn his revision to their schedule. She implies that Freddie doesn't like Yasmeen, but he doesn't take the hint. Lauren Bolton returns to the street and is upset to watch from afar as Max kisses Sabrina. A tearful Sarah agrees to an abortion if the baby proves to be Damon's.
