Plot[]
Part One: Peter savours his glass of wine while Nick is impatient to talk about Carla. The police ask for Claire. The neighbours claim she's moved on. They push walk into the back room where Steve tells them she's gone out to visit a friend and suggests they come back at 9.00pm. DC Redfern checks the yard and ginnel where Claire and the boys are hiding behind some bins. Leanne's return prevents Peter indulging further and Nick hides his glass for him. Leanne's suspicious when she spots Nick's glass. Claire and the boys return back inside the Rovers. She decides to waste no more time and goes to pack. Fiz is shocked to read in the Gazette that Joy Fishwick has been found dead but says nothing as Chesney is around. Chris and Maria enjoy dinner at an Italian restaurant. He plies on her sympathy by saying how hard it is to be separated from Russ. When Chesney goes out, Fiz shows John the paper and suggests that he could have been the last person to see her alive and urges him to contact the police. He's alarmed. The police hang around in their car further up the street hoping to catch Claire making her escape.
Part Two: During their meal, Chris receives a call from Billy and is delighted by what he hears. Maria's oblivious to his darker side. Becky grows suspicious that the police could be watching the Rovers. Leanne claims she's popping round to No.1 but summons Nick to meet her in secret. Claire pops into the bar and bids a fond farewell to her friends. Thinking of Ashley, Graeme's sad to see her go. Leanne accuses Nick of tempting Peter with alcohol. He denies it was deliberate. Maria invites Chris up to her flat. A cab pulls up outside the pub, observed the police who wait to make a sudden arrest. Fiz fears John will look suspicious if he doesn't inform the police about Joy. Leanne warns Peter not to trust Nick as he can be ruthless. Steve and a disguised Tina throw the police off the scent by leaving the pub in a cab. The police intercept it but find they have the wrong person while Claire and the boys are driven away to their new life by Jason in his truck parked on Rosamund Street.
