Plot[]
Part One: It's the day of Luke's funeral and Yasmeen tries to fuss over her granddaughter but Alya is distracted by Steph's return outside. A downcast Aidan posts a letter. Tim says he's going to stay at his dad's for a while with Faye and it's up to Sally if she wants to join him. Steve finds it hard-going coping without his phone. Amy's school is closed due to frozen pipes and Tracy dumps her on Steve. She demands a phone to stop herself getting bored but he determines to amuse her in other ways. The mourners start to gather at the crematorium. Kevin, Tyrone and Zeedan help to carry the coffin in. Phelan and Eileen attend, as do two police officers. Eva still can't think what story to tell Adam. Kate reads a poem at the funeral and Rana is upset to see her hugging Sophie. Spending time in the bistro, Carla advises Daniel to make a go of it with Sinead. Michelle thinks she's winding him up but she denies it. A tearful Steph reads out Luke's eulogy and makes a pointed remark at Phelan that bad people always get what they deserve. As the committal takes place, Alya can take no more and runs out in tears.
Part Two: Alya's family follow and try comfort her but she blames herself for bringing the Parker brothers into their lives. As she's unable to face the wake, Zeedan suggests they have a quiet send-off of their own at the bistro. Gary jealously watches as Sarah chats to another man in the Rovers, much to Bethany's amusement. Kevin and Sally both think Tim is overreacting about Phelan. Tim tells Eileen he wants nothing to do with her while she's with Phelan while the man himself blames his troubles on the Windasses. Rana's father agrees to give her cash to set up her business. Yasmeen makes plans for Alya to spend time with an aunt for several days. Steph joins the bistro wake. Amy beats Steve at Monopoly while he covertly checks his own phone. Steph confirms she has heard nothing from Andy. Michelle thinks Carla looks ill. Kate rejects Rana's attempt to comfort her as it hurts her too much to be round her. Rana is devastated. Carla leaves the bistro and collapses against the wall of No.12. Phelan goads Gary about having a "work's do" at Tassels. Zeedan finds Rana crying at home. She tells him that she's a bad person for what she's done and that she's in love with someone else.
