Plot[]
Part One: Leanne's fuming. She's taken aback when Peter tells her that Carla's mother has just died and she's just returned from the funeral. Sian thinks Sophie is doing too much at the charity. The house in Gorton has come up for sale and Sophie suggests to James that they could hold an auction to raise funds. Leanne tells Carla she's sorry about her mother but can't understand why she has to rely on Peter. Leaving, Peter apologises to Leanne but she's unhappy that he deceived her. In the Rovers, with the noise at a jukebox to a deafening volume, Becky announces that she's hosting another lock-in. Tommy, Jason and Tyrone are delighted whilst Norris, Emily, Ken and Deirdre are appalled and quickly leave, taking their custom to the bistro instead where Nick isn't happy at such stick-in-the-mud's custom. Carla turns up at the pub and starts knocking back the wine. Gary hides Izzy's phone so that she can't contact Will about the ticket for a gig this evening. Stella's chatting to Leanne in the bookies when suddenly a masked youth runs in brandishing a baseball bat.
Part Two: The raider demands the cash from the till. Leanne refuses to hand over the money and Stella wrestles the baseball bat from the youth who then legs it. Sophie asks Nick if they can use the bistro to host the charity auction. He agrees to discuss the matter. Tommy tries to chat up Carla. Frank steps in and seeing that she's drunk, orders him away. Tracy demands that Becky turns the noise down but gets nowhere. Peter thanks Stella for her intervention but she is unhappy that Leanne was on her own and at risk. They are puzzled by her over-protective manner. Frank accompanies Carla out of the pub, when she slips and falls. Unable to find her flat keys, he says he's driving her to his house. Will calls at the bungalow to see Izzy. Gary lies to him saying that she's out. Izzy's none the wiser. At Frank's house, he tells her to stop beating herself up. She tries to kiss him, but he pulls away. Stella is in tears when she returns to the pub. Sick of the row, Ken storms in and cuts the plug on the jukebox. Becky's fuming. Carla crashes out on Frank's sofa. He gently places a kiss on her forehead and tucks her up for the night.
