Plot[]
Part One: John tries to sneak out of No.5 at 5.30am to meet Charlotte and is almost caught by Chesney. They're horrified to find the factory all locked up and Norris wondering what they're doing as he goes to work. Cheryl is determined to find a job today. Charlotte tells John he's the worst thing that ever happened to her and she drives off. Fiz angrily demands to know where John's been when he returns and senses there's something wrong. Tyrone finds some expensive houses in Chester to look over. Hayley has a bad hangover after the party. Mary insists they meet in the salon at lunch to arrange her wedding-day hair. Sean is on cloud nine at having contact from Dylan. Owen assures Carla that the factory is progressing well. Charlotte rings John, wanting to go to the police, but he talks her out of it until he has had a chance to look over the factory. Chesney hears him shouting at fate and asks what's wrong. Maria and Natasha bicker over who's the best wedding stylist. Chesney asks Kevin if he'd sell him a van he's been working on. Kevin tells him it's £500 but points out that Chesney can't even drive. John tries to get a look in the factory but is caught by Owen who sends him on his way.
Part Two: John keeps a watching eye on the factory but there are too many people around. Charlotte badgers him for a progress report. Hayley has had enough of Maria and Natasha and leaves. Cheryl calls in looking for a job but doesn't like the bad atmosphere. She also looks in at the corner shop where Sunita offers her a job at Prima Doner. John drowns his sorrows in the Rovers, awaiting his opportunity. Sean realises that Liz rang Violet and thanks her. Cheryl's pleased about her job. Sean phones Violet and is delighted when she agrees to let him see Dylan. She promises she'll get back to him with a date. John watches on as Carla finds Hayley in the pub and gives her the new keys to Underworld. Cheryl and Lloyd see Chris who tells them he has got a job across the road working on the factory building site. Sally's annoyed when she sees how expensive the houses are that Tyrone and Molly are looking over. John manages to steal Hayley's keys. Sally asks Kevin just how much he's offered Tyrone for his share of the garage and is angry at his generous £15,000 offer. Sophie begs Kevin and Sally to change their minds about the music festival but they refuse to be swayed. John lets himself into the factory's back door. He's shocked to see the hole concealing Colin's body is now entirely concreted over. Carla's there and demands to know what he's doing there.
