Plot[]

Part One: Roy angrily demands an apology but Carla remains unrepentant and storms out of the cafe. Leanne explains to Liz how Dan used to be a client of hers when she was on the game and he once beat her up. She found out from the other girls that he treated them in the same way. Liz is horrified. As Roy mulls over Carla's accusations, Cathy assures him that they've done nothing wrong but Roy's less convinced, worrying what people think. Cathy leaves, hurt. Leanne tells Liz about Dan's blackmail. Liz is determined to have it out with him. Tracy admits to Steve that she badly misses her mum. He offers her help should she need it. Gary and Alya announce their engagement. Everyone is happy except Zeedan. Michelle finds Carla drinking in the factory alone. She demands she talks to her about what's wrong. Liz returns to the Rovers where Dan is meeting his boss, Ed Ramsey.

Part Two: Liz throws her accusations at Dan as Lucy enters. She looks at her dad, appalled, and realises that Liz is telling the truth. She walks out, followed by Ed who tells Dan he will see him in his office tomorrow. Liz throws Dan out, telling him that she never wants to clap eyes on him again. Carla admits to Michelle how unhappy she is, how she blames herself for the fire and how she regrets her spiteful comments to Roy. A meal that Tracy has cooked is awful, but Ken puts a brave face on. She's pleased to receive a text from Robert. Michelle advises Carla to get away for a break but first she returns to the cafe and apologises to Roy for her harsh words. She tells him that she's going to Madrid for a couple of weeks. Pointing out he's had enough junk food, Leanne tries to take Simon's crisp packet from him but he tells her that she's just someone his dad slept with. Alya finds Zeedan in the gym. He tells her that he's happy for her but he still misses his dad. Roy tells Carla he cares for her very much as she leaves for the airport. Liz calls at the flat and thanks Leanne for telling her the truth. Leanne admits her biggest fear now is that Dan might carry out his threat to tell Simon about her past. Outside, an angry Dan stares up at the window.
