Plot
Tracy hesitantly goes back into the minibus to save a trapped Carla. They argue as Tracy pulls Carla free. Carla gets out but Tracy's foot gets stuck in one of the seatbelts. As the bus starts to move, she takes her shoe off to free herself and escapes in the nick of time. The bus plunges into the quarry. Michelle sits with a petrified Steve, who rakes over his past guilt over Lloyd's heart attack and Tina's death. The police and ambulances arrive and take the passengers to a nearby hospital. Steve is questioned about the circumstances of the crash. Kirk calls Beth and tells her about the crash. Concerned residents try to get in touch with their loved ones. Chesney fears the worst when he hears Sinead is seriously hurt. Tracy can't believe she saved Carla's life. Carla thanks her. Eileen lays on taxis to the hospital. Liz hopes the crash wasn't Steve's fault. Chesney, Beth, Kal, Sophie, Dev and Tim arrive at the hospital and press Steve for information when they see him. Michelle feels protective of Steve and stays with him. Sinead learns she's hurt her back, while Alya has a head injury. Kevin arrives to make sure Sally is okay. Steve can't believe he walked away from the scene and opens up to Michelle about his depression. She swears to help him get better. Meanwhile, Sinead can't feel her legs.
