Episode 7392 (30th July 2010)

Plot[]

Part One: Charlotte wants to call an ambulance, but because of Colin's bruises, John's adamant that they shouldn't get the emergency services involved otherwise the police could find out about the identity theft. Chesney's thrilled when Izzy's sister Katy turns up at his birthday party. He fancies her on sight. As Charlotte cries, John says they should take Colin back to the guest house where he was staying to make it look like he died in his room. They roll the body up in a rug. Chris tries to rile Lloyd. Chesney tries to chat Katy up. Fiz returns to No.5 looking for John, but on finding the house is empty and the back door open she investigates. John and Charlotte hide in the outhouse until she leaves. Sean's beside himself as he explains to Liz how he only wanted to make contact with his son Dylan. John finds himself locked out of the house. They start to bundle Colin's body into a wheelie bin to try and get him to Charlotte's car. Norris almost catches them but John manages to allay his suspicions.

Part Two: Having got the body to Viaduct Street, they see that Owen has blocked Charlotte's car in. Fiz has returned to the party. Roy starts to get drunk on the punch. Katy suggests to Chesney that they go for a ride in Izzy's wheelchair. Chris tries to threaten Lloyd but Cheryl steps in and tells him that he can have access to Russ but only if he behaves himself. A passing Rita makes John and Charlotte jump as they open the boot and she accidentally drops her keys inside it as the lid shuts. In desperation they drag the body into the empty factory. Liz softens and gives a grateful Sean his job back. She also rings Violet. John discovers a big hole in the factory floor and together he and Charlotte push Colin's body down into it. Owen is furious to see drunk Chesney and Katy riding up and down on the wheelchair. He realises all the adults are drunk as well and Chesney admits the punch was spiked. John tells Charlotte to meet him at the factory at 5.30am so they can shift Colin's body before the builders arrive. Owen marches Katy home as Carla harangues him for being behind with the factory repairs. Sean's thrilled to get an internet message from Dylan saying, "Hi Dad". Roy's cross with Chesney for abusing his trust and spiking the punch. John finally arrives at the party just as everyone's leaving. Fiz is unimpressed.
