Gemma’s going stir crazy with Chesney and her mum at each other’s throats and spies a chance to get a cheeky wee breakaway to lovely Llandudno where she sees a cable car with her name written all over it, while the viewers see something else altogether, and Chesney has a surprise of his own in store. David may well have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, he may be getting threatened by prison goons, he may be up on an attempted murder charge, and the victim may be about to make the situation worse, but none of this stops Shona sorting out the wedding menu for next week's nuptials. Evelyn has her eyes peeled for her family, trying to maneuver Jade in Michael’s direction and away from Tyrone, while also maneuvering Michael to take care of all the odd jobs that Tyrone can’t be bothered taking care of. Tim’s Dad doesn’t waste any time in infuriating Alya and Yasmeen with his plans for Speed Daal and spending the restaurant’s money on fancy Californian business courses and for reasons no one can completely fathom, his bucket remarkably remains unkicked. Gary and Maria become close and after a successful date at the Rovers they’re in real danger of getting much closer still until Emma’s appendix decides to explode in protest.
