Plot[]
Part One: Steve leads a search party with Tim, Robert, Johnny and Kate to look for Michelle. He fears she isn't thinking clearly as she left without her coat or bag. Peter and Nick take Simon to A&E. Peter is embarrassed by his childish behaviour. Dev tells Gemma she doesn't have the authority to hire staff and sacks Cathy. Eileen thinks Phelan is avoiding her and corners him outside the builder's yard flat. She guilts him into coming home before he's able to get rid of the bloodied carpet. Shona finds Roy sitting contentedly with his model train set while listening to classical music and assumes that he's desperately lonely. Norris and Sean issue Brian with a list of rules he must follow if he's to continue living at No.3. Simon has a dislocated finger and has it reset. Nick is put out when Simon looks to Peter for comfort, even though he caused the accident. Eileen tells Phelan that he cried "no" in his sleep - she thinks he regrets marrying her. Reassured that he loves her, she gives him leave to dispose of the carpet. Robert finds Michelle sitting on a bridge over the canal, saying she has nothing to come home for.
Part Two: Michelle wants to jump off the bridge to be with Ruairi. Robert is able to talk her down. Trying to drive the carpet away in his van, Phelan tells Luke that Andy has disappeared. Luke thinks he's let his sister down badly but Phelan advises him to leave things be. Dev feels sorry for Cathy and asks her to fill in at the corner shop while Erica is visiting her mother, with additional shifts at the kebab shop. Michelle tries to kiss Robert but he recoils, refusing to take advantage. She's aggrieved that everyone is second-guessing her and admits that she hates Steve as he's able to hide his grief better than her. Shona tells Brian that Roy needs a mate. Leanne tells Nick not to let Peter wind him up. Not ready to face him yet, she gets Robert to take her to the chapel of rest and wait for it to open. Shona tells Brian that Roy needs a mate. Outside the chapel of rest, Michelle finds some peace and thanks Robert for being a friend.
