Plot[]
Part One: A frantic Fiz demands that Chesney calls John and tell him about Hope. At Charlotte house, he hides the sinister scrapbooks from Alan and Dorothy but is forced to play the grieving fiancé and stay and comfort them. Sally can barely conceal her contempt as Kevin consoles a distraught Tyrone. She storms out of the house without explanation. John makes plausible excuses when John and Dorothy spot some of the photos of him. Her arm in a sling, Rita returns from hospital and sobs at the sight of her ruined 10a Coronation Street. Nick and Claire remember Ashley together. Nick offers to pay for Ashley's wake at the Rovers. A grateful Claire accepts. Fiz is told that Hope has contracted an infection and needs an immediate blood transfusion. Fiz is frantic with worry and John is nowhere to be seen. John finally manages to get away from Alan and Dorothy. He tells them he's taking Charlotte's diary as a keepsake. They inform him that the funeral's next Monday at St. Luke's Church. He answers Chesney's calls and finds out about Hope as he dashes away.
Part Two: Becky meets Kylie in a park. Hating herself, she hands over the stolen money and attacks Kylie, threatening to kill her if she ever lays eyes on her again. Dimitri hands over Max to an emotional Becky. Emily puts Rita up. Sally arrives in the Rovers after drinking in The Flying Horse. She bumps into Pam there and is aghast to realise that she and Bill already knew about baby Jack. Feeling betrayed all over again, she rushes off as Kevin walks in. A detective questions Nick about the gas problems at The Joinery and why he failed to report it. Nick's horrified to realise that he could be held responsible for the crash. John finally arrives at the hospital. Anxious Fiz tells him that if the transfusion is unsuccessful, they could lose their baby daughter. Sally tells Kevin that she won't be the villain by telling Tyrone the truth. He wants everything back to normal but Sally decrees their marriage is over and although she won't tell anyone what's happened, she wants him out. Norris finds out from Ciaran that The Joinery had problems with the gas. Pam snubs Kevin in the Rovers, accusing him of causing devastation. Rita and Emily warn Norris from gossiping about Nick. In the Rovers, the Barlows announce that Peter's on the mend. Steve's thrilled when Becky arrives home with Max. She is consumed with guilt as she hugs her family.
