Ronan's death is ruled as accidental. Ali doesn't feel like celebrating. Michelle remains concerned about him. Sinead is pleased that she's taking control. Gina tells Duncan she doesn't believe his lies and the truth will out in court. Her faith in her sister wavers when he mentions that Sally said she was a liability. Seb and Tracy watch as the judge says she's sentencing her to a custodial terms. Tracy stands up to intervene.

Part Two: Tracy backs down and only makes a statement defending Abi. She is given a 16-week custodial sentence for criminal damage, theft and resisting arrest.

Expecting Elsa to verify this, he realises he must come clean to Leanne today. Daniel is puzzled after seeing Flora, who is perfectly fine. Sinead pretends she's had chemo and tells him about the complementary therapies she's starting to combat the chemo's side effects. Daniel endorses the idea when she lies that she's cleared it with the doctor. He joins her in becoming a vegan. Robert suggests to Michelle that they have a child. She isn't keen. Johnny risks a fine from Amy by serving Steve and Tracy at the Rovers after 6.30pm. Seb tells Tracy to stay away from Abi in future. Abi is put in a cell with her old friend Marcia, who immediately offers her drugs. Abi turns them down. Nick tells Leanne he's separated but wants to be with her. Leanne decides she can live with it until he lets slip that he and Elsa only split up last week. Furious that he lied, she dumps him on the spot.
