Plot[]

Part One: Having had a nightmare, Max has wet his bed and tries to wash the sheets without being found out. Bethany helps him but extracts a promise from him to tell Kylie that he's upset. Caz pushes Kate for an answer to her idea to elope. Pretending he's got a prior engagement, Ken hands the theatre tickets to Audrey and suggests she should take Freddie. She masks her disappointment. With school closed for the day, Kylie agrees to have Aadi and Asha. In the salon, Audrey tells Freddie he's accompanying her to the theatre whether he likes it or not as he got her into this fiasco. Dev confronts Chesney and Gemma over the fake £20 notes he found in the takings. Making out he was duped by a stranger who wanted change, Chesney takes the rap for Gemma. Sophie and Luke come into the Rovers and see Kate and Caz talking sweet nothings to each other. Pushing Max into playing "truth or dare", Asha makes the child go into the "haunted" annex. She pulls the door shut on him, and the handle comes off in the process. Max starts to freak out. Caz threatens Sophie in the Rovers' toilets, telling her to stay out of her business. Kylie flies at Asha, furious with her for traumatising Max. Dev calls to collect the twins and is horrified at Kylie's behaviour. Chesney warns Gemma she needs to choose between her dodgy mates and her job as it's the last time he'll take the blame for her. Having discovered the bed-wetting and at breaking point, Kylie tells David that as long as they remain at No.8 the memory of Callum will ruin their lives and they need to move away.

Part Two: Kylie wants to go to Barbados to be with Becky but David thinks she's overreacting. Gemma apologises to Chesney but is perturbed to see Macca and Clayton going into the Rovers. There, Caz sees Clayton trying it on with Kate. She flies into a rage and launches herself at him, dragging him out. Kate's shocked to realise Caz isn't injured at all. David insists the kids can have a normal life in Weatherfield. The pressure makes Kylie break down. Apologising for lying to Kate, Caz insists she only did it as she wanted to postpone her return to Cyprus so they could spend more time together. Freddie and Audrey return from the play, having been asked to leave for making too much noise. A saddened Ken thinks they've enjoyed their time together. Kylie rings Becky who's happy for them to come over. David agrees to go, much to Kylie's delight.
