Plot[]

Part One: During an adjournment, Eva tells her sisters that coming back has shown her much she was glad she left. She tells Adam they're leaving to go back to France once the verdict is reached but he doesn't seem enthusiastic. Brian builds a den for Joseph in the yard of No.5. Joseph tells him that he wants him to look after him all the time and not to get a shop. Carol finds Sean in Victoria Gardens. He admits how hungry he is and she gives him a half-eaten pizza she's found. He tucks in ravenously. The half-price cocktails take off and the Rovers is packed. Brian plants seeds of doubt in Cathy's mind about opening a hardware shop. Under the pretext of being Carla's cab driver, Peter turns at the court. He's harsh to Toyah when she tries to talk to him. Despite promising Leanne that he'll always be there for Eva, Adam can't help having doubts as he watches her and Kate make up. Brian tells Daniel he no longer wants the shop. A drunk Mary and Gina fight over the microphone at an impromptu karaoke in the pub and Gemma breaks them up, impressing Liz. Chesney still doesn't trust Henry. Adam admits to Peter that Eva's love for Aidan is coming between them. The verdict is given. Peter advises Adam not to chase something he can't have.

Part Two: Steve sees Tracy dressed up for the rave and realises he's been lied to. He enjoys admonishing her and gets her agreement that he can buy a County season ticket as the price of allowing her to go. Back at the pub, Adam tells Eva he's staying in Weatherfield as she's not ready to move on yet and doesn't love him as much as she did Aidan. They agree to stay friends. Gemma offers Liz her job back. Chesney follows Henry when he sees him taking a suspicious phone call and overhears him talking to a woman in the ginnel, promising her that he will be honest with Gemma tomorrow. As Eva gets into her taxi, Johnny runs up and apologises for taking Susie. They make their peace with each other. Eva invites him to visit his granddaughter as often as he likes. Toyah begs Eva to stay but she tells her that she still feels as if she is her mother and it would never work. Tearful goodbyes are exchanged and Eva leaves for the airport in a taxi.
