Episode 9037 (18th November 2016)

Plot[]

Part One: Anna now knows that the flats are a scam and teams up with Michael to gather evidence against Phelan and Vinny. Anna asks Phelan to meet her at her flat as a diversionary tactic while Michael breaks into the building site. Daniel makes up the rota to look after Ken. Brian Packham visits the street while carrying out his new job as an environmental health officer. He tells Roy, Rita and Sean that he and Julie split up over a caravan and he's living in Weatherfield again. During a catch-up session with Roy, he reveals that he's hoping for a promotion to recycling tsar at the council. Adam summons Tracy to the bistro to give her a front-row seat when Brian tells Robert that there's been a complaint about the restaurant's hygiene. Michael is scared half to death when he's spotted at the site by what turns out to be a delivery man dropping off £30,000 worth of tiles. Anna offers Phelan £2,000 to disappear. He scoffs at her paltry offer and goes to leave but stops when he hears his missing phone ring.

Part Two: Grabbing the phone from Anna, Phelan takes the call which is from the delivery man who gives him a description of the man from the site. Phelan turns nasty, throwing Anna's crutches away, before setting off to deal with Michael. Brian drops the case against Robert when the complainant doesn't turn up to meet him. A despondent Gemma admits to Rita that she's homeless. Roy feels uncomfortable when Cathy shows off her wedding countdown clock. Michael searches the marketing suite for evidence and finds Phelan's fake passport and ticket to Mexico, but his victory is short-lived as Phelan interrupts him - armed with a crowbar.
