Plot[]
Part One: Liz can't raise Eileen at No.11. Mary reads up on marine life so she can talk to Jude on his level. She bores Tracy with her shark trivia. David tells the kids that Shona has left. Jude collects a bunch of marine biology journals from The Kabin. Tracy's suspicious when he gets one of the names wrong. Mary decides to surprise Jude at the marine life centre where he works. Tracy agrees to go along for moral support as Angie is busy. Steve begrudgingly holds the fort at Preston's Petals. Robert rechristens the restaurant the Viaduct Bistro and celebrates with Michelle and Carla. Ali agrees to go along to the meal when he hears Carla will be there. Craig brands himself a nutcase for having OCD. Bethany tries to reassure him by listing the celebrities that have it but puts her foot in it by calling the sufferers crazy. Shona hopes that David has reconsidered when he texts her asking to meet in the Rovers. At the marine life centre, Jude is told by his boss to get back behind the gift shop counter.
Part Two: DC Leigh tells Bethany that Neil's appeal is going ahead. Bethany asks about Craig's suspension and learns that he hasn't necessarily blown it. Daniel goes to see Flora McArdle at the nursing home after hearing that Vinny was one of Phelan's victims. He learns that she's moved out but resolves to keep looking until he finds her. Michelle teases Carla about her dalliance with Daniel. Mary and Tracy are puzzled when Scarlett Fullerby from the research department doesn't know who Jude is. Tracy tells Mary about Jude's slip-up at The Kabin and asks if she's sure he's genuine. Angie decides to join them there after all. Robert tells Michelle that Andy is being buried in two weeks' time. Carla is worried that Michelle will cotton on to her and Ali and tells him to tone it down. The bistro is nominated for North West Restaurant of the Year. Mary and Tracy find Jude working in gift shop. Mike complains to Liz that Steve is giving him all the rotten jobs at Street Cars. David meets Shona and gives her the rest of her things, much to her disappointment. Jude confesses to Mary that he's been lying to Angie about being a marine biologist since the minute they met. He's horrified to learn that Angie is due any second.
