Plot
Frank is found not guilty and cleared of rape. Carla reels from shock. Tracy is furious about her new living arrangements. Frank leaves the court head held high. Peter and Carla watch him with contempt. Whilst out in Owen's van, Jason and Rosie kiss passionately. Unfortunately the handbrake slips, the van rolls forward and smashes into the car in front. Frank, Anne and Sally enjoy a celebratory drink in the Rovers. Stella questions Frank as to why he lied for Carla and said that he was driving the car. Frank apologises, making himself out to be as much a victim as Stella. Tracy complains about the lack of kitchen upstairs. Steve promises her a microwave. Milton mistakenly thinks the reason that Roy isn't keen on his wonderful business idea is lack of funds and tells Sylvia that's easily solved. Tracy tells Steve that she's going to report him to the council as he never obtained planning permission to turn No.13 into flats. Brian tells Julie how he wowed the Board of Governors with his new Healthy Eating Initiative which will be introduced throughout the school. Stella's disgusted with Peter and Carla and how much they've hurt Leanne. She tells Carla she knows that she was behind the wheel of the car that ran her over and she no longer believes her about the rape. Owen's livid when he sees the dented van. Jason lies, making out it was another driver's fault. Rosie gleefully tells Jason how the Gazette is going to run an article about their crash calling her a randy road safety model. Jason panics in case Owen reads it. Frank finds Carla alone in the factory and tells her that he's come to gloat. Carla's shaken and tells him to get out.
