Plot[]
Part One: David's out for the count. His solicitor summons help while Tina's convinced he's pulling a fast one, incurring Audrey's ire. Becky's annoyed that Steve hasn't tried to pursue Kylie to the airport. Steve admits he's looking forward to a fortnight's peace. David's case is postponed. Tina is livid. Paramedics arrive to take David to hospital. Becky visits Roy and Hayley and pays back the £100, despite their objections. David's examined and describes his recent blackouts. He realises he must have suffered one before the accident. The doctor suspects he's suffering from a form of epilepsy. Steve's angry with Becky for bailing Kylie out. Roy returns the money, decreeing that Kylie should be made to pay it back herself. Rosie sulkily pays Jason for the kitchen repairs, complaining that she can no longer afford a new handbag. David is referred to a neurologist for a brain scan. He realises it may prove his innocence.
Part Two: Steve and Becky row over Kylie. Trying to point out how bad she is, Steve admits he caught Kylie stealing from Becky's handbag, so she tried to seduce him, but he rebuffed her. Becky is stunned. David calls in on Graeme and Tina at the hospital. He reveals he may be suffering from epilepsy, citing the time he fell asleep in their flat as an example. Tina's highly sceptical but Graeme's less dismissive. Jason calls on Rosie with a new handbag. She's disappointed to see it's a replica but nevertheless touched by the gesture. Gail comforts herself with a drink in the Rovers, watched by a sneering Dev. He's taken aback when David and Audrey walk in. Steve and a depressed Becky find themselves bickering. Gail's worried for David's well-being when he explains he could be epileptic. David rejects her concern. Lloyd spots Chris and Maria having a drink. He quietly warns Maria about Chris's violent past. Rosie leads Jason upstairs. Maria makes an excuse and leaves. Chris realises a grinning Lloyd is to blame. David tells Gail she failed to stand by him when he needed her, and they are finished.
