Plot[]
Part One: Sarah, Bethany and Harry stay at No.8 while the police search the flat. Chesney and Gemma take Joseph to Oakhill to sit the entrance exam. He doesn't think he's smart enough to pass. Sarah blames Adam for Damon's predicament as he made him so desperate by working with Harvey. Daisy is horrified when Christina texts her saying she's coming to stay for two weeks. Steve moans to David that there's been no interest in his dating profile. Debbie suggests he should try the cocktail night at the Chariot Square if he wants to meet someone. Adam asks Dee-Dee to represent Damon. She knows he's doing it to impress Sarah but agrees. Todd offers Sarah his support after hearing about Damon's arrest from David. She rejects his help. At Highfield Prison, Dee-Dee tells Damon that the driver ratted him out, and the police have found the money at the flat. She says his only choices are to plead not guilty and rag on Harvey, or plead guilty and lose Sarah.
Part Two: Christina arrives with her cases. She tells Daisy that her landlord's given her notice and she has nowhere to live. Daisy's unwelcoming and suggests she goes to visit her friend in Amsterdam. She finds her mum a flight leaving today. Bethany tells Sarah that Damon's pleaded guilty and will probably get a long sentence. Sarah's surprised to learn that Dee-Dee is his solicitor at Adam's request. Ken offers himself as Steve's wingman at the Chariot Square. Christina goes for the Amsterdam flight but discovers that her passport is out of date. Daisy refuses to let her stay at the Rovers and finds her mum a hotel. Ryan accidentally lands Daisy and Jenny in it when he suggests Christina stays for a drink as it's the least they can do after she lent them the money to buy the pub. Damon receives a visitor in his cell - it's Harvey.
Part Three: Damon expects Harvey to attack him. Christina asks Ryan what he meant. Jenny drops a plate of food as a distraction before Daisy ushers her mum through to the back. Harvey sets upon Damon for blowing the job. Damon defends himself and they both end up bloodied on the floor. Steve's underwhelmed by the talent at the Chariot Square. Ken and Debbie coach him before he approaches a woman at the bar. Dee-Dee tells Sarah that Damon pleaded guilty for her sake. Damon assures Harvey that he didn't grass him up to the police. Billy, Paul and Todd see Summer off as she heads to Boston. She's sad, knowing that she may never see Paul again. Christina asks Daisy why Ryan thinks she lent her money. She forces Daisy to come clean by threatening to tell Ryan that she never gave her a penny.
Part Four: Gemma, Chesney and Joseph return from Oakhill. Joseph thinks he smashed the exam. The woman Steve fancies turns out to be meeting someone else. An older lady, Elspeth, buys the men drinks in order to break the ice with Ken, having had her eye on him all evening. Dee-Dee tells Sarah that Harvey's goons would have killed the van driver if it wasn't for Damon's intervention. Daisy tells Jenny that she's told Christina everything but she's agreed to keep their secret. Jenny doesn't trust her. Steve is bored stiff as Ken and Elspeth chat away. The couple agree to meet up again and swap numbers. Gemma and Chesney agree to let Joseph to go Oakhill if he gets in. Damon and Harvey call a truce, though Harvey makes it clear that Damon still owes him. He suggests they pool their resources and get the family business back together. Daisy worries as Christina shows no signs of moving on. Sarah receives a visiting order from Damon.
