Plot
Zoe starts to practice harmonic convergence in the hope it'll help her learn to speak to Shannon. Natalie is allowed back into the house and is upset to find the police have moved things. Lorraine takes charge of her. Kevin comes to Natalie's aid when Weatherfield Gazette reporter Malcolm Bradford upsets her by questioning her about Des's death. Deirdre is amazed when Jackie Dobbs turns up at her flat having come out of prison. She tells her that her fella's got a new girlfriend and she's homeless. Deirdre is forced into letting her stay until she can find somewhere else. Roy and Gail are offered £65,000 to sell the cafe so the next door shop can expand. Gail doesn't want to accept but Roy likes the idea of starting again somewhere else. Emily encourages Roy and Hayley to join the Amateur Operatics. Leanne tries to be supportive of Zoe but thinks she's gone too far when she tries to summon up Shannon's spirit.
