Plot

Les cajoles Tyrone into coming on his date, as Lulu is bringing a friend, Gaynor Slack. Norris wonders what's going on with Ashley and Claire. The police tell Shelley that she's wasting their time as she offers no new evidence. Shelley is reluctant to embellish the facts, or to portray Peter as a monster, and tells the police that she's changed her mind and has nothing further to add. Katy and Angela reconcile, but behind Tommy's back for the time being. Roy tells Tracy off for drinking, she retorts that he shouldn't care anymore. Tyrone loses his nerve when he sees the look of the two women who he and Les are supposed to be seeing and legs it. Les impresses Lulu with more name-dropping and they end up leaving together for a "private audition". Shelley keeps the truth about her change of heart from Bev and Lucy. Peter realises that it's Lucy who is really behind Shelley going to see the police. Dev treats Maya to a night at the Rovers - not the sort of place she's used to. Karen continues to harass Steve with elaborate wedding plans. Tracy jealously looks on as they banter playfully. Claire has stayed late at Ashley's house, so she stays overnight in Fred's bed. Peter tells Shelley that the CPS verdict is due tomorrow. She's torn when he tells her that he'll move away when he gets out of prison. He declares that he's always loved her, and despite her cold mask, it's obvious that she still loves him.
