Part Three: Paul is devastated, having been told about Shelly's death. The County supporters are disgruntled as the large TV doesn't work.

He decides to organise the funeral she deserved.

Part Four: Todd tells Troy he didn't do as he instructed. Finding his dad at No.3, Ed assures Michael he didn't place a bet and he fled the Rovers to get away from Neil putting temptation in front of him.

  • The upcoming storyline about a body being found at the Bankford Development building site is foreshadowed by a shot of Ed Bailey kicking the ground with an ominous sound effect overplayed.
  • TV Times synopsis: Aadi asks Courtney to contribute to the household bills; the police haul Bernie in for questioning about her scam; and Troy instructs Todd to undertake an unpleasant task.
  • Viewing Figures: First UK broadcast: 4,441,000 viewers (5th place).
