Plot[]

Part One: Faye cleans cars at the garage as a punishment for stealing phones. Alya hears from an embittered Rana that the wedding has been called off. Erica finds the twins' winnings hidden in the toilet and works out what happened when Dev denies selling Bethany a scratch card. When Dev refuses to discipline the twins, Erica walks out on him. Yasmeen begs Rana not to give up on Zeedan but is appalled to learn that he compared Rana to Sharif due to her chequered past. Kate can't stop feeling guilty for turning Caz down the last time she saw her, thinking it could have saved her life. Maria meets with Ben Lockhart who urges her not to give up. He later tells Aidan that it doesn't look good but Caz will have made mistakes. Freddie takes possession of an old trailer for the garage. Sally blindfolds Tim and takes him somewhere in the car. He thinks she has something kinky in mind. Yasmeen visits Zeedan at the bistro where he tries to claim that pressure of work is preventing him talking to her. She retorts that she's booked a table and is going nowhere until he discusses the matter with her.

Part Two: Dev tries to smooth relations with Erica with flowers. She doesn't finish with him but considers moving out. Alya wants to pull out of the vintage range and sell the machine to help out Yasmeen financially but Johnny can't afford to buy her out. Tracy sends Mary home when she cries through her shift at the flower shop. Tim is deflated to discover that Sally has hired an allotment for him as he claimed to love the outdoors. Aidan asks Kirk to visit Maria and boost her spirits as she needs to believe she'll get through her ordeal. Yasmeen gets through to Zeedan by recounting Kal's pre-wedding nerves and how he never once regretted getting married. Sally falls over while christening the allotment. Having no interest in gardening, Tim looks for other ways to amuse himself. A forlorn Dev tells the twins they've driven Erica off. Aidan visits some old contacts to drum up business. Outside a factory, he's stunned to see Caz going inside.

Part Three: Aidan pretends to be a health and safety inspector to get inside but Caz runs off when she sees him. Kirk finds Maria downbeat about her prospects. She believes that Liam will grow up without her but is intrigued to hear that Aidan is paying for her new solicitor. Freddie and Tyrone use the trailer to rescue a load of props from a skip. Tim buys them for an unspecified purpose. Zeedan recruits Leanne to fetch Rana, who reluctantly goes along with her. Dev has made up with Erica but doesn't tell the twins. Rana meets Zeedan outside the wedding venue, where he asks her to marry him.

Part Four: She is swayed when he tells her that he just got scared and never stopped loving her. She's thrilled to find Yasmeen and her parents waiting for them there. Aidan gets impatient as he waits for the police to arrive at the factory and goes in to question the owner himself. The man fobs Aidan off, calling him a con man. DS MacKinnon arrives as Aidan works out that Caz has been working there under Maria's name but he's made to leave. Tim plants the props in the soil at the allotment and tells the Weatherfield Amateur Archaeological Society that he uncovered them. Aidan tells Kate that he saw Caz. Zeedan and Rana are married. Mary admits to Erica that she found a lump on her breast. Erica insists she sees a doctor. DS MacKinnon tells Aidan that his word isn't enough and they need proof that Caz is alive. Liam hears the conversation and Aidan is forced to admit that his mother is in prison. Rana is relieved when her mother wishes her well. Alya is hurt when she finds the reception in full swing at the bistro, having no idea that the wedding went ahead. Aidan swears to find Caz and turn her in himself.
