Plot[]

Part One: Carla and Hayley are in a state of shock as Robbie's lifeless body lies on the factory floor. Tony's startled as Maria suddenly starts banging on the door looking for Carla. Tony thrusts his gun into Carla's back and leads her to the door, ordering her to send Maria away. Looking after Liam, Michelle wonders where Maria has got to. Maria refuses to be fobbed off, so Carla shouts at her that Tony's holding her at gunpoint. Shocked Maria makes a run for it but Tony knocks Carla unconscious and drags Maria inside. Nick and David return home in low spirits, feeling certain that Gail will be found guilty. Tony ties Carla up again. Maria's petrified but Tony tries to reassure her that he would never harm her. The factory workers ponder finding new jobs. Julie thinks it's too soon to try but Kirk and Tyrone inform them that Carla's halted the repairs to the roof. The girls are worried. Gail returns to her cell in a state of distress. She breaks down as she tells a sympathetic Lyn about the trial and wonders how Tracy could put her through this. Tony points the gun at Carla when she winds him up with his mouthy comments. Maria pleads with him to stop if he cares about her. He lowers the weapon. Maria distracts an insane Tony by talking about Liam and showing him photos on her phone while Carla desperately tries to work herself free of her bonds. Maria begs Tony to bring an end to his madness for everyone's sake.


Part Two: Natasha tries to lift spirits at No.8 by cooking a casserole. David can't stand the tension and walks out. Graeme sets off in pursuit. Nick thanks Natasha for her efforts and suggests a night out in Manchester. Eddie and Anna are pleased when Gary arrives home on leave. Tina gets annoyed when Jason suggests that Gail could be innocent. Roy arrives back from York but Hayley is not in the flat. Tyrone, Ashley and Trevor discuss the World Cup jaunt. Trevor's amused to see the lads' nerves about informing their wives. David spots Tina and begs her to hear him out. He explains that he only sent the text for her sake and Gail's truly innocent. Tina is unmoved and walks away, leaving David devastated. Maria tells Tony that if he loves her, he will let her leave. She heads for the door. Desperate Tony points the gun at her but Maria knows he couldn't shoot her and walks out unharmed. Hayley and Carla are terrified when Tony produces a can of petrol and begins to empty it around the factory.
