As things reach a fever pitch, Kevin arms himself with a wrench, while Carl retrieves a package he collected from Fiona and pulls out a gun.
As Nick waits on pins for information about Sam, he turns his raw emotion on Ben and Eva and lays into them over bringing Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) into Sam's life. Eva is forced to reassure Ben that, with or without Sam, Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) can handle the pressure of the trial. Ronnie's plan comes to fruition as Sally, Glenda and Christina assemble with their suitcases. As the group suffer hangovers the next day, Christina insists that all phones are turned off.
Meanwhile, Maria catches Gary hugging Sarah, with him insisting they delete all messages between them, her suspicions rise and she turns to Fiz Dobbs (Jennie McAlpine) and Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) with her concerns, while Betsy, Brody and Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) head to the precinct with some cans after being refused service at the Rovers where they're approached by some thugs demanding they hand over their beer.
