Plot[]
Part One: Mark Kenworthy accuses David of harassment and phones the police, as does the landlady. Graeme forces David to make a sharp exit. Audrey tells Rita that Lewis is an escort. Rita tells her she's an attractive woman and can do better than that, but Audrey stands her ground, insisting it's purely a business arrangement and all she wants is a few laughs. Lee makes a pass at a bored Sophie. She's appalled to find out that Ryan said she was well up for it and storms out after lashing out her friend. Sian rushes after her. Julie and Sean are appalled to overhear Eileen agreeing to go out for a meal that night with Jesse. Norris asks after Tina and Jason says she should be back in work tomorrow. A livid Nick demands to know where David's been when he returns in his car. Jesse buys flowers and chocolates for Eileen. Saying she doesn't fit in in Bramhall, Sunita persuades a reluctant Dev to let her and the kids move into his flat. Julie calls into Street Cars and tells Eileen how Jesse tried to kiss her. Eileen vows to get her revenge. Nick's furious when David explains how he tracked down the witnesses. The police call at No.8.
Part Two: After David explains his motives, Nick steps in to protect his brother and claims it was all his idea. DC Glynn tells him and Graeme that they were trying to pervert the course of justice, but Nick claims all they are guilty of is naivety and they are sorry. Rita's tells Audrey she's thought about what she's doing and she admires her for getting out and enjoying herself. Rita tries to put a nosy Norris off Audrey's track. In front of Julie in the Rovers, Jesse presents his flowers and chocolates. As she and Julie throw the last of his prop collection at him, Eileen yells at Jesse that she never wants to see him again. The two sisters chase him out of the pub, and he runs off and out of their lives. Sian calms Sophie down as they eat a meal of chips. David insists to DS Carr that he made no threats to the Kenworthys. Carr threatens to jail him if further enquiries prove otherwise. Dev arrives home to find Sunita, Aadi and Asha have moved in. He's unimpressed at the mess and noise they're making. Eileen and Julie agree to start afresh and down the chocolates to "the sisterhood". Nick threatens David telling him that if he pulls any more stunts, he'll take him to the police himself.
