Plot[]
Part One: Gina is saved by a knock at the door from Tim, who followed Duncan back to his flat from the solicitors. Jenny explains to Liz what really happened on Christmas Day, insisting that she didn't realise she'd hurt anyone. Liz doesn't believe her and thinks she was after revenge on her for sleeping with Johnny. She tells her that she and Johnny deserve each other. Tim appeals to Duncan to do the right thing and confess. Duncan maintains that Sally is guilty. For once, Tim turns the other cheek. Once he's gone, Duncan goes outside to use a payphone. Gina watches him.
Part Two: Gina presses redial after Duncan vacates the booth to find out who he called. Chesney decides to forget about Gemma after her strongly-worded rejection. Brian starts his search for a new career by interviewing for assistant manager (trainee) at Freshco's. Emma tackles Gemma about her "kiss" with Chesney. Gemma tells her that she's got the wrong end of the stick and Chesney wants her. David is landed with Gary, Sarah and Harry at No.8, but Bethany arranges to live with Maria and Emma. Jenny lets Johnny know that Liz has sussed out the truth but says she's happy about it as he's in the clear now. Johnny can't believe her stupidity. Paul asks Billy out. Billy agrees as long as it's not at the Rovers. Paul surprises him by kissing him passionately. Billy reciprocates. Imran starts to worry as Gina hasn't returned. Chesney asks Emma to meet him at Victoria Gardens and is pleased when she makes the appointment. Gemma sees them share their first kiss. Brian doesn't get the Freshco job as he's overqualified. Cathy doesn't want him to leave teaching. Gina makes it back to the Rovers where she tells Tim, Sophie and Imran that Duncan was calling his still-living wife May who is living it up in Costa Rica. They wonder if it's enough grounds for Sally's appeal.
