1. Debbie calls on her friends for help
In a special episode airing on Monday 9 November, Debbie’s Angels take centre stage. Debbie invites Abi, Bernie, Christina, Glenda and Sally over to the flat so they can help her to prepare a surprise for Carl’s birthday.
Debbie produces hundreds of family pictures taken over the years and asks her friends to assist her as she makes a photo book for Carl’s 40th.
2. Arguments break out at Debbie’s
Although Debbie’s pals enjoy their time together, old tensions aren’t too far away. Arguments erupt regarding family history and past traumas.
As everyone confides in each other, the air is cleared but some of the women are still facing difficult decisions about the future.
3. Debbie plans a big change
Later in the week, Debbie announces that it’s time for her to retire as it’s become too difficult running the hotel while navigating her illness.
She reveals that she has signed the hotel over to Ronnie and Ryan. It’s a significant promotion for Ryan, who’ll now be Ronnie’s right-hand man helping him to run the business.
4. Christina’s scheme gets under way
Christina pays a visit to Richie and goes all-out to gain his trust. She claims that she sympathises with his situation, falsely making out that she has a brother who went through something similar.
Richie is duped and says that he’s grateful for Christina’s support, but George can’t help fearing that she’s taking a risk too far.
5. Kit collapses
Kit is pushing his loved ones away, but secretly feels lonely as he goes through chemotherapy alone. Sarah speaks to Bernie about how Kit is avoiding her, although Bernie is quick to reassure her that it’s nothing personal as he’s giving everyone the same treatment.
Later, Sarah is shocked when she sees Kit collapse in the street and rushes over. Back at the flat, Sarah pulls Kit in for a hug and seems pleased that he’s ready to accept her support.
6. Ryan tries to be there for Bethany
Ryan and Bethany have dinner together at Speed Daal.
Although Ryan notes that Bethany has decided not to involve the baby’s father in her pregnancy, he reminds her that there’s plenty of time to change her mind and he’ll be fine with it. Bethany is uneasy, not wanting anyone to know the truth about her one-night stand with Kit.
7. Kit discovers the truth about Bethany
Ryan accompanies Bethany to her baby scan after Sarah forgets all about it. However, they end up crossing paths with Sarah anyway as she joins Kit when he gets checked out at the hospital as a precaution following his collapse.
Kit is surprised to see Bethany and Ryan leaving the maternity department. Sarah kicks herself for forgetting about Bethany’s appointment and tells Kit about the pregnancy. Will Kit find out that he’s the father?
8. Sarah makes an offer to Kit
Once they’re back home, Sarah invites Kit to move back in with her.
She’s still willing to give their relationship another try, but does Kit feel the same way – especially now he knows Bethany’s baby secret?
9. Brody threatens Idris
Carla shows a loss adjuster around the factory, but continues to doubt the possibility of a payout from the insurance company. Idris makes a bogus show of support, leaving Brody disgusted by his behaviour.
As Carla spreads the word that she’ll be selling the factory, Sally is left in tears over the situation. Reaching breaking point, Brody warns Idris that he plans to tell Carla about his involvement.
10. Idris tries damage control
Idris continues to feign sympathy for Carla as she faces the prospect of laying off her workers ahead of the sale.
The scheming businessman then speaks to Brody, promising that he’ll hire the existing staff back on better wages once he owns the factory. Will this be enough to pacify Brody and his ongoing loyalty to Sally?
11. There’s a worrying call on Jodie’s phone
Jodie’s phone – which has been at the Platt house since the shooting – suddenly rings on the sideboard. Shona answers it and is rocked by a threatening call.
The malicious communication could hint at Jodie and the Platts being in danger, but Shona and David must also face the possibility that she engineered the call herself to win their sympathy again.
12. Sally worries about facing Lucy again
Social services clear Sally of any wrongdoing following Lucy’s recent allegations, so it’s confirmed that she’ll be coming back to live with the Metcalfes in a few days’ time.
Sally is honest with Christina, admitting that she’s apprehensive about Lucy’s return after how they left things.
13. Mary loses her job
Tracy asks Amy to start running the flower shop’s website. However, as Tracy can’t afford another wage, she decides that she’ll have to make Mary redundant.
Mary realises what’s going on very early, so she assures Tracy that she already has another job in town. Tracy feels terrible as Mary hugs her, thanks her for the many years of work and leaves in tears.
