Carla reminds him that he’s due to start his first shift at Underworld. Ed admits that he lost his temper with Neil and Ronnie orders him to apologise and not put the project at risk. Ryan starts in packing but when he receives a message from a guy requesting a personal video, he nips to the loo to send some nude pics. Ed apologises to Neil for snapping at him and peace is restored as explains he used to be a gambling addict. Ryan receives a message back telling him only a live video will do. Dee-Dee gets Ronnie to sign some forms and points out he’s taking a risk starting work on the site before completion of the purchase. At the site, the digger unearths something alarming.

Bored at the factory, Ryan is pleased when his contact agrees to pay him £500 for a live video and he rushes out to stream it. Paul makes arrangements with George for Shelly's funeral. Bernie isn't pleased to find out that he's going to use the money she gave him to fund the ceremony. Stephen and Jenny are loved up as they return from Paris. Ronnie receives a call from Ed telling to get down to the site quickly. Bernie tries to persuade Paul to change his mind and use the money for flat alterations, but he refuses to listen to her. George rubs Todd's face in it that Paul chose Shuttleworth's rather than Rest Easy. Todd admits to Mary that the company isn't for him. and she urges him to talk to George. Tim takes his revenge on Steve when he leaves his phone unattended. Full of nerves, Ryan takes the plunge and begins a live video. Craig declares the building site out of bounds as a dead body has been found.
Part Three: Ed and Ronnie panic over the delays that their site being a crime scene will cause the project. Stephen packs his things in the flat, ready to move into the Rovers. They delay returning to the pub in order to spend more time together. Carla asks Ryan why he's late returning from lunch and then worries that a return to work is too much for him when she teases him for messing up a packing order and he walks out of the job. Todd tries to make a friendly approach to George and is hurt to be introduced to Lee, his tall monosyllabic successor. The two men part on bad terms again. George finds Lee impossible to converse with. Daisy and Glenda think Jenny is stuck at customs. At the flat, Jenny and Stephen discuss getting away from things permanently. Todd rages to Paul about the way that George has treated him but refuses to consider asking for his old job back outright. Steve finds that Tim has changed his ringtone to a quacking duck. The Baileys worry that the delay could bankrupt them.
Part Four: Todd tries to encourage Paul not to give up and stop fighting. Paul agrees that he's going to adjust his priorities. Carla comes home and tries to get Ryan to talk about what's troubling him but to no avail. Neil is annoyed to be told that his men won't be paid and says they'll walk out of the job when Ronnie says their hands are tied. Ed is annoyed with his brother's stance. Ryan won't open up to Daisy either. Bernie is pleased that Paul has changed his mind. Paul thanks Todd for his support. Tim threatens revenge when Steve changes his ringtone to The Birdie Song and sets his language to Turkish. Ed and Ronnie worry that they're going to lose everything.
