Plot[]

Part One: Frank tries to wake Carla. Shocked and shaken, he runs across to check Stella just as Peter appears. Peter rushes off to ring an ambulance and checking that no one is around, Frank pulls Carla out of the driver's seat. Leanne is horrified to see Frank kneeling by Stella's body. Carla is now slumped in the passenger seat. Over in the Rovers, everyone is oblivious as the jukebox plays full blast over the sound of the ambulance siren. While the paramedics rush to Stella, Frank spots one of Carla's shoes on the driver's side and quickly puts it by her feet just as a paramedic comes over. Chris and Lloyd panic when they see the scene of the crash. Norris is in his element as everyone comments on his bravery, calling him the hero of the hour. Tyrone rings Fiz with the news about Leon. Frank tells the police that he was driving and takes a breathalyser test. Matt arrives and offers his assistance. Summoned by Peter, Karl goes with Leanne and Stella in the ambulance. Chris calls Cheryl to tell her that Russ is missing. Lloyd discovers Russ in the outside loo of No.9. The boy worries that he is in trouble for running off. Chris and Cheryl are relieved when he returns the child to them. Eva misses a phone call from Karl and Peter has to break the news to her. At the hospital, a quietly angry Karl questions Frank who says he was under the limit and claims he wasn't driving too fast.

Part Two: Cheryl is furious at Chris and Lloyd for arguing and upsetting Russ. Steve is rushed off his feet and Becky lends a hand in a temporary truce. Fiz is horrified to find her cell trashed and Hope's baby clothes and pictures shredded. Karl and Leanne worry as Stella remains unconscious. Holding Stella's hand, Leanne tells her that she doesn't really want her to leave. Eva arrives and isn't happy to see Leanne by her mum's bedside. Carla comes round in her hospital bed. When she realises what has happened, Frank tells her to keep quiet. Tina tells Tommy and Tyrone that she understands they were just looking out for Fiz. She leans in to give Tommy a kiss when Matt walks in. As Tina rushes over, Tommy looks on with jealousy. Deciding to take matters into her own hands, Fiz tells Ruth that she has had enough and smacks her in the mouth. Pushing her up against the wall, one hand around her neck, she informs Ruth of Leon's arrest and warns her to leave her alone. Ginny and the other inmates are too shocked to retaliate. Ruth is left scared and shaken. Lloyd tells an angry Cheryl how Chris is also to blame for Russ running off as he is fed up of always having to take the blame. Karl, Eva, Peter and Leanne are devastated when the doctor informs them that Stella is bleeding internally. Leanne hugs Eva as the reality of what they have been told sinks in. Frank covers for Carla with the police, but she isn't sure she can let him take the blame when she finds out what he's done.
