Plot[]
Part One: Ken tells the Barlows that Adam has gone back to Canada for work reasons. Maria is due to be released early from prison for good behaviour. Kirk and Beth plan a surprise party for her at No.5. Faye celebrates her 15th birthday. Anna is upset that she can only afford to get Faye nail polish. Mel tells Bethany that Nathan has been wrongfully arrested for assault and needs an alibi. Bethany doesn't want to get involved. Steve provisionally agrees to sell the Rovers to Peter and Toyah. Liz adds that they'll go with a cash buyer instead if they get one. Sarah is angry when Bethany reports that Nathan has to work and can't come to dinner. In order to keep her sweet, Bethany sets off for the police station. Steve tells Liz that Leanne is open to him having access to Oliver. Liz orders him to sort it out before she changes her mind. Aidan is dreading Maria's release. Bethany arrives at the station to make a statement.
Part Two: Bethany says she was with Nathan at his flat when the assault took place. Chloe uses her phone to track Peter as he goes about his business. Roy gives Anna a £100 bonus which she passes on to Faye as a belated present. Toyah suggests to Tracy that she could buy the flower shop premises herself. Chloe bumps into Peter outside an estate agent and plays it as a coincidence. Through fake tears, she complains that her ex has been following her and the police can't do anything. He insists on driving her home to make sure she's safe. Nathan is released from custody and Bethany takes him to No.8. Sarah and Gary are sickened when Bethany introduces them to Nathan. Johnny collects Maria from prison; her intended driver, Kirk, had a "packing emergency". Sarah feels she can't kick Nathan out as Bethany would follow. She and Gary prepare themselves for an awkward family dinner...

Notes[]
- The entrance to Coronation Street's MediaCity studios doubled as the gates of Norcross Prison while the scene of Peter Barlow being followed by Chloe Tipton was recorded at the junction of Deansgate and Little Peter Street in Manchester. The tracking map on her phone was an accurate depiction of the real-life location used in recording.
- TV Times synopsis: Bethany hears that Nathan has been arrested and needs an alibi, so she gives a false statement to the police; and Aidan is worried that Eva will discover his fling with Maria.
- Viewing Figures: First UK broadcast: 7,709,000 viewers (5th place).
