Plot[]

Part One: At Craig's insistence, a reluctant Bethany phones the police to report Neil. Liz confides in Steve that she's dreading her last night in the Rovers and hates working at the medical centre. Aidan announces that Eva will be moving into the office to learn the business side of things. Jenny and Alya are furious. Toyah refuses to try a drink she's poured as she hopes her next pregnancy test will prove positive. DC Leigh calls at No.8. Awash with shame, Bethany describes how Nathan cajoled her into having sex with Neil. Nicola calls at No.11 to see Phelan and finds out that Eileen has laid on a Jewish spread for her. Having heard the full story from Bethany, DC Leigh assures her that Neil will feel the full force of their Counter Corruption Unit. Leanne calls into the bistro to speak to Zeedan and Michelle asks her to leave as she's disturbing his work. Michelle's livid to see she has flyers for Peter and Toyah's reopening and, once Leanne's gone, throws the recorded delivery letter in the bin. In the police station, DC Leigh tells Neil that the CCU wants to see him. Knowing the game is up, Neil shoots a look of hatred at Craig as he's led away.

Part Two: Alya steels herself to tell Luke she fancies him but she's stopped in her tracks when he tells her that he's off out on an internet date. Moira returns Liz's handbag, telling her that she's contravened the medical centre's clean desk policy. Bethany gives another, fuller video interview. Sarah tells her that she's proud of her. DC Leigh calls at No.8 and assures Bethany and Sarah that she's confident they now have enough evidence to bring charges although Craig's surreptitious method of obtaining the recording could affect his chances of properly joining the force. Nicola heads off, promising she'll be in touch as soon as she has the results. Beth hears from Bethany about the risk Craig put himself under. Izzy complains about Eva's promotion and Aidan tells her about her pregnancy. Toyah overhears and offers her congratulations, making Eva feel guilty. Beth forces Craig to confess that he's in love with Bethany. At the end of the night, Peter and Toyah give Steve and Liz gifts and Toyah makes a heartfelt speech and allows Liz to ring last orders. Eva's awash with guilt with the lies that she's having to spread.
