Plot[]

Part One: Gail lets the police into No.8. Eileen demands that Jesse puts her before his parents or they're finished. Gail tells PC Brewer the truth about Joe and Rick up to the point where Joe disappeared, but then still sticks to the fiction that he's working in Cumbria. Tina reluctantly backs her up. Jesse can't bring himself to disappoint his parents. Eileen insists that he gives her consideration or leave. When he refuses to cave in, she leaves the house for an hour to give him time to pack his things. Lewis fancies a bit of fun. He persuades Audrey to ring her friends and get them to be in the Rovers for when they arrive. The police leave No.8. Gail tells Tina how she and Joe fell out on the night he disappeared and that she doesn't know where he is. She lives in the hope that at any minute he'll walk through the door. At Lake Windermere, the police arrive to the walker's summons as she waits by Joe's body.

Part Two: Quinny isn't impressed by the women in the Rovers until he spots Rosie. He doesn't believe Gary when he tells him that they were once an item. Tina tells Jason about Joe's crazy plan to fake his own death. Audrey comes into the Rovers dressed to the nines and finds Liz and Deirdre waiting for her. A moment later, Lewis enters on his own. Tina is bitter about the lack of consideration her father has for her, but she still wants to know that he's safe and sound. Sean comes home to find Jesse moving out. Jessie and Eileen refuse Sean's offer to mediate. Liz and Deirdre admire Lewis as he watches them across the bar. They're mightily put out when he makes a beeline for Audrey and proceeds to chat her up with lots of doses of flattery. Quinny spins Rosie tall tales. In a panic, Tina returns to see Gail, suddenly worried that her father has taken his own life. She gets Gail to agree that Joe's got until Monday to show up or they tell the police everything. Norris clocks Lewis in the Rovers. He, Liz and Deirdre watch as Lewis "seduces" her. Eileen puts on a front saying she's relieved that Jesse's gone. Sean warns her not to be too hasty. Lewis and Audrey engineer a show in front of the others of him leaving the pub after he's given her his card. Audrey loves the attention. Outside the pub, they laugh over the impression they've created. Tina leaves a message on Joe's phone begging him to let her know he's safe. At the same time, his body is being hauled out of the lake and zipped into a body bag.
