Simon is discharged. The regulars try to come to terms with Ashley's death. Returning to the Rovers, Carla knocks back the booze as she contemplates life without Peter. Bill and Pam arrive at the cafe and learn of Molly's demise. Pam's devastated. Kevin returns from the hospital. Pam and Bill are shocked that Tyrone knows he's not baby Jack's father. Kevin turns up. Tyrone hugs him as Kevin's guilt level soars. Becky slips back into the pub with the stolen cash. She hides it from Steve. Claire, Audrey and Graeme arrive back from viewing Ashley's body. Becky's staggered to learn of Ashley's death. Claire is distraught. Carla returns to the hospital and joins Leanne and Ken. She learns that Peter is in surgery, but the prospects aren't good. Leanne's puzzled by her manifest distress. Kevin finds Sally at home still in a state of shock. She remains silent as he assures her that things will be okay.
Part Two: John and Fiz pray that Hope pulls through. Sally watches Kevin's reactions closely as she talks to him about Molly. A drunk Carla admits to Leanne that she's "Carl", the alcoholic friend that Peter's been supporting. Leanne's suspicious about the secrecy. Carla admits she loves Peter but she's sorry there was no affair. Leanne's stunned. Tina tries to comfort Graeme. Nick returns to the street. Norris, Emily and Mary bump into him and he reveals that Rita's night out was cancelled and he saw her heading home. A shocked Norris alerts the fire and police that Rita must be trapped under The Kabin's remains and they begin rescue operations. Leanne accuses Carla of pushing her towards Nick so she could have Peter. Carla retorts that Leanne's merely waiting for Peter to die so she can sail away with Nick. John finds Charlotte on life-support in hospital. He pulls the curtain around her bed. Leanne slaps Carla when she accuses her of having an affair and alludes to her time as a prostitute. Sally tells Kevin she couldn't give Tyrone any crumbs of comfort about last words that Molly uttered. He's speechless when Sally reveals that she knows he is Jack's father.
