Plot
Roy persuades Hayley to go on the African Project. John sends Fiz a bouquet of flowers to the factory. The other girls are envious. Jason stands on the balcony at the Builder's Yard talking to Todd and Becky down below. He tells them how really he runs the Yard as Bill's too old. He doesn't realise that Bill's in earshot. Bill sneaks up behind Jason intent on giving him a fright but suddenly the railings give way and Jason falls from the balcony on to the pavement below. Roy and Hayley rush to Jason's aid. David, who's watched the whole thing from a distance, is suddenly wracked with guilt and phones an ambulance. Sarah's distraught to see Jason lying unconscious on the ground. Rosie meets John in the ginnel and tells him she's taking his advice and will return to school but not Oakhill, to Weatherfield High. John's panicking about becoming Rosie's teacher whilst Rosie's enjoying the thrill. Roy tells Becky that when Hayley goes on her trip she will be in charge of the café when he's not around. Becky's delighted. Rosie tells Kevin and Sally that she's willing to go back to school but not to Oakhill. Kevin's pleased at the financial saving whilst Sally's not impressed. Fiz calls to see Chesney. Kirk's worried about the state of the house but is surprised to find that Chesney's had a clean round. Liam and Maria set off on their date but end up back at Liam's house. Jason's told that he should make a full recovery but won't be able to walk for a while. Sarah's horrified - realising he won't be able to walk at their wedding. Hayley leaves for Mozambique and Roy goes to see her off.
