Secrets tumble out in
the Barlow house this week when Peter tells Adam and Ken that he and
Toyah are together. Eva and Toyah try, and fail, to get back into
Leanne’s good books after she found out last week that Toyah and
Peter were an item. Knowing his mum needs cheering up, Simon tells
Leanne that Nick’s going to propose to her which doesn’t spoil the
joy for Leanne and she accepts Nick’s proposal. She’s delighted to
become Mrs Tilsley, yet again.
Now that their secret
is out in the open, Peter tells Toyah he’ll try for a baby with her.
“I’ve got super sperm,” he tells her. “The fastest little tiddlers
in Weatherfield.” But there’s someone else who’s got her eye on
Peter’s little tiddler when Chloe cosies up in the cab office and
asks for Peter to taxi her about.
The Barlow clan are in
even more trouble when Adam cheats on his legal exam by getting an
advance copy of the questions. Daniel finds the exam paper in the
bin, and goes running to Ken to dob Adam in. Adam’s incensed
when he finds out what Daniel’s gone and down so he gets his
revenge, and in some style too. Chesney waits in the Bistro
for Sinead to turn up, thinking that their relationship might be
back on track, but Sinead’s got other plans. She’s deflowering
virgin Daniel in the stockroom at Underworld. Adam breaks the
news to Chesney who storms round to see Daniel: “Oi! Virgin boy!”
and give him what for. He’s raging, is Chesney, and doing the full
ginger. Fists are thrown but it’s Daniel who wallops Ches with an
intellectual, verbal beating up.
Elsewhere on the
street, Rosie Webster returned from Miami this week with her sister
Sophie. Rosie’s so, like, literally, over the top? You know? And
really, really literally annoying? But good fun to watch. Once she
settles down and settles back in she’ll be fine. She returns from
Miami with a stash of cocaine she’s unknowingly carried into the
country, given to her by her boyfriend Antoine. She and Sophie
panic and know they need to get rid of the drugs but how? They
decide to bury them on Tim’s allotment for now. Adam Barlow has his
eye on Rosie and pesters her for a date on her return but she bats
him away. “Not now, Adam!” she cries, not once but twice through the
episode when she first returns, proving she’s got more to her than
the vacuum we might think she is.
However, Adam does get
his date with Rosie after an accident at Websters garage. Luke gets
trapped under a car and Kev admits it his fault for not ensuring
proper health and safety. Luke’s fine, he’s got a squashed leg and
Tracy fusses round him with an ice-pack and a cuppa. Adam tells Luke
he should sue Kevin for damages but Luke says he doesn’t want to as
Kevin’s a mate. However, when Rosie spies Luke and Adam chatting,
she thinks Luke is going to sue her dad and agrees to go on a date
with Adam so that he’ll try to change Luke’s mind about suing her
dad even though he’s already said that he won’t. Adam and
Rosie getting cosy could be a good match.
Over at Eileen’s house,
Faye’s boyfriend Seb is up to no good and steals Pat’s power tool
from the back yard. Phelan spots him thieving and instead of calling
the cops, he senses he can use Seb’s devious nature for his own
ends. He enlists Seb’s help to pull out the Barlows’ kitchen which
he’s doing up for them. While inside No. 1 Pat sees Seb open the
dresser and steal Uncle Albert’s medal (not Uncle Albert’s medal!)
and put it in his pocket. He warns Seb off and the medal is
replaced, but Pat’s got his eye on young Seb. “Are you grooming me?”
Seb asks him in a dark, comedy moment. Phelan tells him, no, but
he’s certainly got something in mind for the wayward lad as a Phelan
apprentice, perhaps.
Speaking of grooming,
Bethany is drawn further into the shady world of Nathan Curtis at
the tanning salon. She sets up her video hair and beauty website and
Nathan enlists a woman at the salon called Mel to “like” Bethany’s
videos over and over online.
And finally this week,
we see Shona is hiding a secret, but what could it be? Gemma thinks
she recognises Shona from The Dog and Gun. And when Shona finds
Lily’s lost teddy bear and hands it back to David, Lily makes Shona
a thank you card, which puts tears in Shona’s eyes. And then the
final scene of the final episode this week shows Shona at Kylie’s
graveside. Just what is going on?
And that’s just about
that for this week. Remember, you can sign up to get
