Plot[]

Part One: Seb and Faye set off early on Sunday morning. Michelle visits Robert at Highfield Prison. He's starting to doubt that Rich is behind the attacks and believes that somebody wanted him out of the way. Will steals Michelle's flat key while she's staying with Maria and takes a photograph of her from the apartment. Anna panics when she notices that Faye has disappeared and left her phone behind. Phelan tells Eileen he's leaving to work in Inverness for a couple of days. Shona is evasive when David asks her what she's spending her scratch card winnings on. Yasmeen returns David to its owner, who didn't notice that the dog was missing. A strange man watches David and Shona from his car. Jon Wallis from Newton & Ridley arrives for the launch. He pours the inaugural pint of the new craft beer and asks Peter to sample it, not knowing that he's an alcoholic. Leanne spares Peter from having to tell him and takes a sip instead. Norris isn't convinced by Rita's story about being on medication. When he gets at her, she slaps him before running off upstairs in tears. Anna calls Faye's teacher and finds out that she isn't going on a school trip. She's certain that Faye is with Seb and gets his number from Phelan. Seb and Faye get off the train at Mosford Station due to a signal failure and have to make the rest of their journey by bus. David tells Shona about Maria and Aidan. Unnoticed by either of them, David the dog burrows his way into No.6's garden and destroys Yasmeen's hydrangeas. Anna calls Seb and orders the runaways to come home. Seb is furious when Faye smashes his phone. He's adamant that they must return to Weatherfield. Anna reads Faye's emails and learns that they're actually on their way to Holyhead to get the ferry to Dublin.


Part Two: Rita drops the charade and tells Norris she's that terrified of what could be wrong with her. Norris takes her to the medical centre to see Dr Gaddas. Jacqui Ainsworth, Peter and Toyah's potential surrogate, arrives early for her meeting with them and waits in the bar without announcing her presence. Seb refuses to go to Dublin with Faye as his stepdad will beat his mother and younger siblings; he takes the punches for them. He steals a woman's car keys. Steve flouts his bar, knowing that Peter won't kick him out while a reporter is in the pub. Peter is prompted to pose with a pint when Jon asks Steve. The idea backfires when Ken and Tracy walk in and think he's about to drink it. They reveal to everyone, including Jacqui, that Peter is an alcoholic. Jacqui is appalled by the debacle and walks out. Toyah goes after her and convinces her to hear them out.


Part Three: Seb finds the woman's vehicle in the car park. Peter berates Ken and Tracy for spoiling the chances of a surrogate baby. Ken apologises. Toyah brings Jacqui back into the pub and through to the back room. Leanne and Steve deal with a displeased Jon. Peter and Toyah introduce themselves properly to Jacqui, explaining how Peter hasn't had a drink for three years and tell her how much a baby would mean to them. She isn't convinced and leaves. Seb can't start the car and legs it when a security guard alerted by the woman comes after him. The police are called. Eileen and Nicola disagree as to whether Seb is trustworthy. Rita can't bear to say the words and tells Dr Gaddas that she's having trouble sleeping. Yasmeen confiscates David the dog when she sees the state of her garden, telling his nonplussed owner that he isn't fit to own a dog. Rita comes out of the consultation room in tears. Will is quietly pleased when Michelle returns and announces that she and Robert have split up.


Part Four: Faye has been arrested as Seb's accomplice. She doesn't tell the police who she was with and is released without charge. Tim is quick to blame Seb but she insists that she did all the planning and tells him about his difficult home environment. Anna sees Seb and orders him to get in her car. Rita tells Norris she's having tests done. Will returns Michelle's flat key, claiming that she left it at Maria's. Shona catches sight of the man watching No.8 but doesn't mention it to David. Anna is determined not to let Faye become Seb's prison visitor and makes Seb promise to stay away from her. Robert calls Michelle to confirm that people believed her fake break-up story in order that no repercussions are directed at her. Jacqui agrees to be Peter and Toyah's surrogate. Andy swears to Phelan that he can trust him when he admits to worrying that he will break their agreement once he's in France. Anna drops Seb off with the intention of speaking to his mother. He doesn't let her inside but she catches a glimpse of him with two young children inside the unkempt house.
