Plot[]
Part One: Sean gives Liz a doll of a Peruvian god as a good luck charm for her new job. Liz is bitter that she's had to give up the Rovers because of Steve. Craig finds out that there's no record of Neil Clifton's visits to Bethany after finding out from Police Officer Paul that victim support visits should be logged. Neil tells him to mind his own business when he asks him for an explanation. Liz starts at the medical centre and clashes with her new boss Moira Pollock, who doesn't let her display the doll as it's a religious symbol. Mary plans to alert the competition organisers to Norris's scam but changes her mind when Rita informs her of Norris's honourable intentions. Anna decides to stand by Kevin but declines his offer to tell her who his date was, preferring to focus on the future. Craig asks Bethany what's really going on with her and Neil. She tearfully admits that he's Nathan's mate and that Nathan let him rape her.
Part Two: Kevin tells Erica he can't be with her as he loves Anna. Gail makes plans to mark the anniversary of Kylie's death as a family. Erica is fed up, and Dev's suggestion of going for a picnic at Jodrell Bank falls flat. Anna works out that Erica is Kevin's woman when Dev comments that her mate cancelled on her last night. Mary is determined to win the competition and visit Jude and gives Norris a list of her habits to study. Sarah is disappointed by the lack of witnesses against Nathan and calls Gary for help. Anna lures Erica to the bistro and calls her a cheap, nasty slapper. She threatens to tell everyone what she did if she steps out of line. Craig is determined to see justice done but Bethany insists that he can't grass Neil up as he'll deny it and come after her.
