The workers return to Underworld but are still unhappy about the water on their electrics. Nick's relieved when Carla merely chastises him for missing the meeting with Paul Stokes yesterday. He offers the staff a bonus of £150 each if they meet their deadline for Boyd Rickson's order of tomorrow and they rush to their workbenches. Gail is astonished when told that Anka's made a statement confirming her version of events. Eddie reveals that when he dropped Cheryl off last night he told her that Lloyd prefers older women like Liz and Teresa. Lloyd's annoyed. Audrey gets a call from Gail with the news about Anka. David does his best to act surprised and delighted.

She tells him that she's meeting Jason and thanks Graeme for all he's done for her. He's disappointed to be cast off. Jason apologises to Graeme for being angry with him as they meet on the threshold, and he hands over the key to No.12 to him. Lloyd is quick to assure Cheryl that Eddie was wrong. She's pleased when he offers to get her tickets for her favourite musical, Oklahoma!. Nick and Carla start to row about Stokes but are interrupted when the electricity fails and the factory is plunged into darkness. Eileen lets slip to Anna that Eddie's doubled his shifts since Street Cars got the strip club contract. Anna's furious. Roy is as awkward as ever when Hayley calls to collect her Salsa shoes. Tina puts on a brave face and goes to the Rovers with Jason. The Platts arrive to celebrate the news of the witness statement. Tina's incensed and tells them they won't be so happy when Gail is sentenced. David tells her about Anka's statement and insists Gail will be free soon.
