 ==Plot==
+[[Gail Platt|Gail]] is desperately trying to remember what happened before she was pushed down the stairs but to no avail.
-The restaurant has now become the bane of [[Leanne Battersby|Leanne]]'s life and [[Paul Clayton|Paul]]'s attempts to cheer her up are futile. However, when [[Dan Mason|Dan]] arrives for a drink she perks up - much to Paul's dismay. As they drink, Leanne reveals what a desperate situation she's in with the pizzeria and selling isn’t even an option anymore. When Dan casually mentions that she should burn the place down – Leanne's intrigued. Dan's shocked when Leanne 'accidentally' knocks over two flaming sambucas and sets fire to the table cloth - claiming "accidental fire" might be the solution to all of her problems!
+[[David Platt|David]] cleans the [[8 Coronation Street|house]] ready for Gail's return. He tells [[Tina McIntyre|Tina]] that he's going to look after his mum when she comes home.
+[[Dan Mason|Dan]] calls in the [[Valandro's|pizzeria]] to see [[Leanne Battersby|Leanne]]. [[Paul Clayton|Paul]]'s put out and Dan realises Paul's jealous as he fancies Leanne.
-[[David Platt|David]] is worried about [[Audrey Roberts|Audrey]]'s suspicions but reassures [[Tina McIntyre|Tina]] that it'll be fine. However, Tina's not convinced and is panicking about having to lie to everyone. When Tina mentions that she’d like to go and visit [[Gail Platt|Gail]] in hospital and asks him if he’s sure he doesn’t want to come clean, David is uneasy.
+[[Fiz Brown|Fiz]] and [[Chesney Battersby-Brown|Chesney]] have a meeting with the [[Social Worker (Episodes 6780/1)|social worker]]. Fiz agrees to become Chesney's guardian and to move into [[5 Coronation Street|No.5]] so that Chesney can remain with [[Kirk Sutherland|Kirk]] and [[Schmeichel]].
+[[Becky Granger|Becky]] moves into the [[16a Victoria Street|flat]] above the [[Roy's Rolls|cafe]] with [[Roy Cropper|Roy]]. Roy's already regretting his decision as Becky jokes how they'll be sleeping together.
-[[Fiz Brown|Fiz]] goes to meet [[Chesney Battersby-Brown|Chesney]]’s social worker in a bid to get him home and everyone’s delighted when she agrees to let Fiz act as Chesney’s guardian. The social worker just needs to inspect Fiz’s home first to make sure she’s capable of parental responsibility. However, when Chesney realises he has to go home to Fiz's flat, and not [[5 Coronation Street|No 5]], he's upset that he won’t be able to live with [[Schmeichel]] and [[Kirk Sutherland|Kirk]]. Refusing to budge he suggests Fiz move back into to his house instead, so they can be one big happy family. Fiz is reluctant but realising she doesn't have a choice she agrees to move into No 5 - much to Chesney’s delight!
+[[Audrey Roberts|Audrey]] visits Gail but Gail's short with her still furious she could shop her own grandson to the police.
+David persuades Tina it's too late for him to tell the truth. They must stick to their story as they're in it together.
-Elsewhere, [[Bill Webster|Bill]] and [[Jason Grimshaw|Jason]] are hoping they’ll get the contract to work on the new flats – the business could really do with the money. Also, as the builders shoot admiring glances at [[Becky Granger|Becky]] in the [[Roy's Rolls|café]], she broaches the subject of moving in with [[Roy Cropper|Roy]]. Despite his reservations, Roy agrees to let her move in.
+Dan and Leanne share a bottle of wine after hours in the pizzeria. Dan jokingly suggests she could burn it down making it look like arson. Leanne is quite taken with the idea and Dan's worried.
