Plot[]
Part One: Linda gives Chesney a business card for a family solicitor. He tears it up, standing by Gemma. No.5's fridge breaks down. Adam and Dee-Dee run their business from the shop flat due to a leaky pipe at the solicitors' office. Sarah agrees to let Adam have Harry after school. Maria and Gary drop Liam off at the bus stop but the lad heads back home once the coast is clear. Gemma takes Joseph to the chemist with a sore head. Tyrone has left for Italy. Cassie applies nail extensions to Ruby's nails after the girl tells her they're allowed at school. Liam goes on the school website and, posing as Gary, reports himself absent due to a bug. Linda treats the Winter-Browns to a new American-style fridge-freezer but it's too large for the space. They're forced to make do as it's non-refundable. Max and Sabrina quiz Lauren about her boyfriend in order to find out if he really exists. Gemma finds the torn business card on the table.
Part Two: Chesney comes clean to Gemma about Linda's suggestion but assures her that he would never have gone along with it. She accuses him of scheming with Linda to take her kids from her. Chesney receives a call from school telling him Joseph is poorly. Lauren makes Max admit that he doesn't believe she has a boyfriend. She's deeply hurt. Adam visits Harvey in prison and tells him he has a good case for an appeal against his murder conviction. Evelyn takes a call from Ruby's teacher complaining about the nail extensions. Cassie realises Ruby lied to her but Evelyn says she should have known better. Sarah arranges for Damon to pick Harry up from school and drop him off with Adam. Adam's uneasy when Harvey insists that he meets with his hitman himself instead of using a go-between. Damon takes Harry into Manchester for the afternoon. Izzy's annoyed that Linda never bothers with Jake when she visits Weatherfield. The school rings Maria to enquire about Liam's absence. She discovers he hasn't been in school for over a week. Chesney brings a drowsy Joseph home from school. The boy's legs suddenly give way.
Part Three: Liam tells Maria and Gary that he skipped school as his PE teacher made him play in goal. Maria's sure he's being bullied but can't get him to admit it. Adam's annoyed that his plans with Harry have fallen through and suspects Damon took the boy out to get at him. Lauren calls her "boyfriend" and finishes with him. Joseph is taken to A&E. Chesney can't get hold of Gemma as she's too angry with him to answer her phone. Linda believes Gemma slipped him something at the chemists that's made him ill. Ruby tells Cassie that she wanted to stand out at school. Cassie tells her that she once messed her life up trying to impress people and encourages her to just be herself, as Evelyn listens approvingly from the other room. Damon brings Harry home too late for Adam to take him. Dr Gaddas gets an idea about what might be wrong with Joseph after she hears Gemma say that his symptoms started when they went camping. They rush to the hospital when Chesney finally gets through to Gemma.
Part Four: Dr Gaddas gets the doctor to test Joseph for Lyme disease. They start treatment after finding a rash on his scalp, which they tell the Winter-Browns could have been left by a tick bite. The concerned parents are relieved to learn that he should make a full recovery. Sarah tells Damon to stop winding Adam up as they don't need the aggro. Cassie's touched when Evelyn tells her she's doing a good job. Linda apologises to the Winter-Browns for making accusations about Gemma but they're unforgiving. Liam receives online hate from Mason and his cronies, threatening him if he shows his face in school again. Chesney apologises to Gemma for not believing that Joseph was ill. Gemma is troubled by the fact that he found it so easy to believe she was a bad mother and doesn't know if she can forgive him.
