Episode 8397 (29th May 2014)

Plot[]

The morning after the attack on Tina, Rita and David keep a vigil at her bedside. Rita feels she's let Tina down. Rob is annoyed when Deirdre and Tracy assume Carla assaulted Tina and suggests that Peter is far more likely to have done it. Rob moves the items from the outhouse, not noticing that he's dropped a bracelet in his hurry to get away. He buries the remaining items elsewhere. Izzy and Katy notice Owen's coolness towards Anna as he leaves for Aberdeen. Anna tells them the hotel was disappointing so they didn't stay the night. Leanne tells Simon that Peter and Tina were seeing each other. Tony isn't happy when Jason tells the police that he just bought the yard, resulting in them deciding to question him. The police ask Steph to check if anything is missing from the flat to determine whether the break-in was staged. Peter and Carla encounter each other in their flat and argue about the affair again. Carla refuses to let him blame it on weakness - he chose to sleep with Tina. She throws him out when he suspects her of attacking Tina. The police take Peter in for questioning when Roy tells them he saw Peter go into Tina's flat before the attack. He admits he went over there to "shut her up", but points out that he'd have had no reason to confess to Carla if he'd done anything to Tina. They release him. Michelle has a go at Liz when she discovers Liz knew about the affair. Tracy admits to Rob that she was transporting dodgy goods at the time of the attack and they agree to tell the police they left the party to make love. Leanne decides not to tell Nick about her and Kal at the moment as Simon has had enough upheaval. Kal thinks Gail will tell him if they don't. Izzy and Katy think Anna is hiding something from them. The police arrest Carla for assault.
