He’s awake. Hi ya. Hi. Morning, sleepy head.
I’ve got your favorites. How are you feeling? Okay. Right, so shall I go get the nurse for you?
No, thanks. You sure? Yes, stop fussing. Don’t, darling.
None of us are going to stop fussing over you for a long time, so get used to it, eh? Someone stop messing with it. Oh, hit me like that. What are you doing?
Looking for that flipping warrant card. Okay, so it’s not turned up yet, then. No, and I’ve looked everywhere twice. Okay, come here.
Come here. Okay, Amelia, you’re stressed. Not just about the badge. Yesterday was hard.
Okay? You can admit it. Yeah. Yeah, it was.
My heart broke for Todd. I bet. It’s one of the hardest parts of my job. But you do it anyway.
Cuz you’re a hero. Cheer up. You are. Where’s Connie?
What? Where’s the baby? Uh she’s here with me. Right, don’t do that to us.
What are you doing? Doing the dishes. You’re a guest. [crying] Connie.
Uh I heard her fussing when when I was getting up, so I I brought her down. Hope that’s okay. Oh, of course [snorts] it is. Oh, sugar, look, I’m going to have to get going.
Okay. Right, I’ll see you later. Will you do me a favor and keep a look out for that wine car for me? Sure.
Bye. And where could it possibly be? Yeah, well, I’ll I’ll try and send you some more pictures when I can be bothered. But, um Yeah, Lil’s doing all right.
She’s a bit moody. Tea? Uh no, I’m good, thanks. Um Well, because she wanted a new tablet and we said no, basically.
Cuz we’re not made of money, Gail. Cuz she can have one for her birthday, but that’s it, you know? But, right, I’ve got to go now cuz you’re boring me. But, happy birthday and um give my love to Graham, yeah?
I’ll see you. Ooh, that looks lovely. Can I have some? No, this is for my coffee morning.
What’s a coffee morning? Well, it’s a gathering of friends to catch up over coffee and cake. But, also a chance to blow Bridie Brady’s fruit scones out of the water with my lemon drizzle. Will you make my birthday cake for my party?
Is it your birthday soon? You know it is. I’d be thrilled to make you a cake. Thanks.
I’ll go and get my sketches. Hi, Mom. All right, Baba. Are we expecting royalty?
No, just some friends. Friends, what friends? Just some ladies I met down at the Irish center. What time?
Why? Well, I’ve got some of Susie’s mates coming round in 10 minutes. They can play upstairs or, God forbid, you could take them outside for a breath of fresh air. Well, yes, I could, but I’ve hired somebody to come round and give them a pamper session.
I’m sorry Maggie, you’re going to have to cancel. No way. I’ve had this in the diary for weeks. Have you?
Not on the shared family one you haven’t. Benjamin, tell her. No. Stop ordering us about in our own pub.
It’s our name above the door, our pub. Cancel whatever this is, clear up and clear off. It was nice having everyone here. We all love you.
That’s nice. Go back to sleep if you want. You’re safe here. What?
I don’t feel safe. Even if Theo makes bail, it won’t be for long, okay? They are going to lock him up for a long time, and Kate’s going to make sure of that. But with what evidence?
Without that footage, it’s it’s a dead end. Well, has he got like any old devices that he might not have deleted it from, like an old phone maybe? Um the tablet [clears throat] Oh, sorry. Um these drugs are kicking in.
It’s fine. You rest. I’ll be here. Okay, Mr.
Silverton, we’re going to be releasing you on bail. Right. Thank god. With certain conditions.
We seized all the electronic devices we found in your flat. Are there any others we need to know about? No. When do I get my phone back?
When our tech team’s finished with it. I need it for work, that’s all. So, I’ll have to get another one, eh? We’ll also be issuing you with a domestic abuse protection notice.
What’s that? Well, it forbids you from having any contact with Todd Grimshaw. But, he’s my husband. You so much as breathe in his direction and I will re-arrest you and put you straight on remand.
Do you understand me? There’s no need for you to be like this. You’ve got this the wrong way around. I’m not the aggressor.
George is with him now. I’m going to go see him again after my shift. How was he? Putting on a brave face.
He’s terrified that Theo’s going to come after him as soon as he gets out. He’s not going to get bailed, is he? I’m not sure. Possibly.
We just need to get all the facts. Facts? Go look at his face. That should be enough to lock him up and throw away the key.
Listen, I agree, but CPS will need more than that. Like what? Further evidence of sustained abuse. What about that footage?
Well, if we check through all the devices, I’m sure the tech team will find it. Yeah, well, what if it’s on a device the tech team haven’t got? Right, well, we searched the house thoroughly. Look, I know we’re all worried about Todd, but if he’s released, he won’t be allowed anywhere near him.
Well, when’s Todd getting out of hospital? Tomorrow, hopefully. Well, he’s coming home to ours then, so I’ll go and get everything ready. Right, let’s get back to work.
See you later. See you. Yeah. Theo was loading bags into his van yesterday.
He’s definitely doing a runner. Right. Have you told this to the police? Yeah.
Right, well, I’m sure they’ll look into it. Yeah, but what if they release him before they get a chance to look there? I mean, he could destroy evidence. Well, I dragged him to the station before he could lock He’s running.
No, don’t even think about it. I mean it, you stay well clear of Theo from now. Okay. Gary, I’m being serious.
Just leave it to the police. I’ll get it. You all right? Put on a brew if you fancy.
Yeah, sure. What did you want to talk to me about? Sit down. [snorts] Sounds serious.
What’s up? I want to talk to you about Summer. Oh, please, not that again. Yes.
I told you already, Bernie got it wrong. Okay. So, if I speak to her, what will she say? [clears throat] Oh, Karl.
This is an all-time low. Even for you. Connie, a young grieving lass out of her inheritance by lying. I’m not lying.
Billy was murdered. And I heard someone confess to it. He He was murdered? By you?
I can’t say. Oh. What? Until Summer pays you her money.
And how long have you known? Known what? When did this person confess? A while ago.
He didn’t tell anyone. You left me to rot in prison. Yeah? You made everybody believe that I was responsible.
I said I was sorry. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m really, really sorry.
Sorry I ever said sorry. And I believed you, didn’t I? More fool me. You play games with people’s lives.
You make profit off all the people’s misery. You should be ashamed of yourself. I’m ashamed of you. GET OUT.
WHAT? GET OUT. You’re right. Debbie.
Deb Debbie. Hi Roy. Good to see you up and about. How you feeling?
Oh, well much restored. Thank you very much. Have you seen Todd today? Yeah, I went to see him this morning.
How was he? Physically he’s on the mend, but otherwise I don’t know. He’ll be all right though. Once he’s a Grimshaw, I mean they’re indestructible.
Well, they’d be all right a lot quicker if you keep Theo behind bars, but it’s good to see that Carla’s putting you to use. Mhm, he offered. Speaking of which, I better go. Uh you’ll be all right, won’t you?
I’m going to be a couple of hours. I’ll come and take over. Yeah, we’ll we’ll just take a walk up the Red Rec. Okay, well mind your lungs.
You’re still in recovery, remember? All right, see you then. What are you doing, mate? How dare you?
Is it not enough that your mate’s accusing me of all sorts and now what you’re breaking into my van? I didn’t break in, it was open. What was the plan? So, what was it?
Hm? Go through me stuff, plant some evidence, get me banged up for good, what? I’m going. All right, and if you if you stop me, I will scream.
Well, I’m going to call the police. So, you can explain yourself to them. I know. [music] Oh, they’re gorgeous, darling.
Anna and Maggie, look at my nails. Oh, they are fantastic. Did you have a good time with your friends? Yeah.
I’m delighted. How was your coffee morning? Did you blow that lady’s scones up with your lemon drizzle? Not quite.
It was more of a lemon fizzle after the bus ride. Oh, I’m sorry. It’s okay. It was really good of Bridget Brady to host at such short notice.
Have you Have you done your homework for the week? Nearly. Can you go and finish it now, please? But No.
Come on, that was the deal for this morning, wasn’t it? Fair’s fair. Fair’s fair. Thank you, good girl.
Good girl. I’m sorry about earlier, Maggie. Ah. It’s fine.
It was just a communication breakdown. No, Ben shouldn’t have spoke to you like that. He’s angry. I get it.
Look, you made a mistake, fine, but you are not solely responsible for the state of this family. We all took our eye off the ball and allowed Megan to take advantage of Will. You’re right about that. [sighs] She’s brought such misery to this family.
Slithering in like a snake, pretending to be everybody’s friend. Well, I’ll tell you something for nothing. If I ever see her again, no one will be able to stop me from throttling her. Maggie.
I mean it. I might look like a little old lady, but I have enough strength left in me to settle a score. I promise you that. All right.
Hey. Bonnie, she’s fine. She’s all right. She’s She’s sleeping.
She’s in the room. What happened? I don’t know. She was fine one minute and the next What How long did it last?
A couple of minutes. She didn’t want a doctor. And she just She just She was really really tired, mate. What did they say to her?
What did they say to her? I didn’t actually hear everything they were saying to each other, but they were arguing. She took them out. With all the stress he’s causing her, she’s going to keep having these.
And every time she has one, she loses another bit of herself. [sighs] Ah, I should have just got rid of him when I had a chance. I’m sorry I’ve not got much of an update about the case. That’s all right.
We appreciate you checking in on us. How’s everyone doing? Uh not not brilliantly. Uh I know it must be frustrating, but hang in there.
We’re doing everything we can to secure a charge. But in the meantime, I need you all to stay away from Megan. Noted. Good.
And I hope we can forget about that earlier little misunderstanding. Misunderstanding? Um just when she was joking about about killing Megan. I was just letting off some steam.
That’s all. I hope so. The last thing I need is anyone here taking the law into their own hands. That’s not going to happen.
Is it, Mum? No. Of course not. [clears throat] Kate.
Seriously, are you going to talk to me because you’ve not said one word since you picked me up? I’m sorry, what’s the appropriate response when your girlfriend’s been caught breaking and entering? Um I am sorry. I know it didn’t look good in front of your colleagues.
Sarah, I don’t care about that. You’ve jeopardized the case. What is it with you breaking into vans? I didn’t break in, actually.
It was already open and I wouldn’t have had to if Theo was behind bars where he should have been. Right, well we can only hold him for 24 hours without charging. We don’t have enough evidence yet. Well, then at least tell me that you found the tablet in the bag.
We didn’t find a bag when we searched the van. Oh, great. Well, he must have got rid of IT THEN. SARAH, THAT DOESN’T MATTER, DOES IT?
RIGHT? Even if you showed up with evidence saying you got it from his van, Theo’s lawyer would get it thrown out like that. And if he has a good lawyer, he might even say he’s the victim in this, that all this was a setup. Sure you’ve got enough?
You think he’ll want some more snacks? No, Mary. I reckon this will keep him busy till 2027. Oh.
You know, I just can’t wait to get him home and to start spoiling him. It’s not the same, Todd, you know. I think Theo might have broken him. Then we’ll just have to help mend him then, won’t we?
Sorry, ladies. I don’t mean to interrupt. Do you want me to stay? Ah, no, I’ll be okay.
Mary. [snorts] All right, Summer. Saw I saw Theo out and about earlier. What?
They must not have enough to charge him with. How? Todd was beaten black and blue by that maniac. [snorts] Well, my offer still stands, you know.
I can get him off the streets much quicker than waiting for any of these domestic abuse charges to stick. Mhm. For a price. 10 grand to put your dad’s murderer away?
Sounds pretty reasonable to me. Sounds like extortion to me. You say potato, I say patata. [snorts] Give my love to Todd when you see him.
Excuse me. You’ve dropped something there. Yeah. And what?
Pick it up then. No. It’s illegal to drop litter, you know. Report me to the police then if you’re so bothered.
Pick it up. You happy? Where did you get that from? Why?
I’m going to have to take it into custody. What? Why? Yeah.
Yeah. Uh There’s been a spate of thefts recently and this one matches the description of one that’s missing. You can’t just take it. I mean I can, I’m afraid.
But, don’t worry. I’ll get it back to you, you know, once it’s been tested. [laughter] Hey. Here you go, folks.
Thank you. What’s happened? Theo caught Sarah rummaging in his van. You’re kidding.
So, he’s called the police and now she thinks she’s wrapped the case. See, this is exactly why I told you to see a clear. I did. I’ve been on a job in Stockport all afternoon.
Well, ask him if you don’t believe me. Oh, she said that her attacker got away, did she? No, Debbie doesn’t know I’m here. Well, I have nothing to say to you, so do one.
That’s funny. That’s exactly what I was going to say to you. Hey. I want you to pack your bags and leave.
You’re not to step foot in Weatherfield ever again. And abandon my poor sick mother? You’re the one making her sick. You can’t blame me for her dementia.
No, but I can blame you for speeding up her decline. She had another episode after you left. Do the right thing for once and leave. Otherwise, I’ll have to make you.
They let me off with a caution, but Kit thinks that if Theo’s lawyer’s clever, then they could try and twist it and make it look like he’s the victim. Are you insane? Why would you do that? I was trying to help.
Well, a fine job you’ve done there. Why do people always think they know better than trained police officers when it comes to investigating criminals? I thought Not to mention the danger you put yourself in, Sarah. I know.
He was really angry when he found me. We were on our own, and yeah, he’s he scared me. I’m so sorry. Look, if you don’t want to speak to me ever again, I understand, but I promise you, I was trying to help.
It’s okay. I knew he’d get away with it. It was Dolls. Hey.
Hey, just you listen to me. He can’t hurt you anymore. That’s all over. Theo won’t stop.
He won’t stop until he’s broken me completely.
