Maggie and Ben Driscoll and Eva Price pale when they find £2,000 missing from the safe, and their eyes fall on Sean Tully. The real culprit, Will, takes the money straight to Megan to fund their escape to France. Back at home, his family bid an emotional farewell as he looks set to head to Scotland in Tim's taxi, completely unaware of where he is really going. David Platt is determined to get rid of Jodie and in response, she manipulates Shona over what happened when he climbed into bed with her. Desperate, Jodie listens in to Ken Barlow talking about Daniel's holiday and begins to scheme. Meanwhile, Sam is scared to see Will coming out of a classroom with a threatening glare, and is even more terrified when Will later approaches him at the Red Rec to threaten him. Kit and Lisa Connor-Swain theorise that Gary's alibi is dodgy. Daniel calls Bertie to update him on his holiday, and Sally Metcalfe turns to Steve McDonald with her concerns over Tim not having confronted Trisha yet.

When the Glasgow train is cancelled but Will is still insistent on heading to the station, Tim is suspicious. When Ben and Ollie Driscoll discover that Will's passport has gone, they tell Steve to contact Tim with direct instruction to keep Will in his sights. Tim opens up to Will about what Trisha did to him and the similarities between their situations, hoping to get through. Jodie lets herself into Daniel's, and they are both shaken as they come face to face. She spins a line about finding his spare key and returning it, though he sees straight through it and orders him out, but when Jodie threatens to tell his family that he is not on holiday and hiding out, it is clear she has him over a barrel. Elsewhere, Hope Dobbs pleads with Sam to open up to Leanne about Will, and Lisa begins to suspect Todd Grimshaw's animosity toward her is guilt.

Determined to get answers, Tim tracks Trisha down at work and confronts her with the fact that she sexually abused him as a child. While Ben is overjoyed with Will's decision to stay in Weatherfield, Maggie is struck with panic, while Megan is interviewed by Lisa over Will's report of a sexual relationship between the two, and remains adamant that it is all lies. Also, Sam shudders when Will threatens him in the ginnel. The police take scaffolding poles as evidence in Theo's murder enquiry, and Jodie collects the rest of her things from No.8, her expression turning icy after confirming to Shona that there are no hard feelings.

As Toyah and Nick worry about Sam and his mental state, considering counselling for his anxiety, Sam listens in, though hears an entirely different conversation to the one his dad and step-mums are having. Tim tells Will that confronting Trisha with what she did to him helped him find peace, while Maggie blanches when Melanie calls Ben and he demands a conversation with her immediately after. Concurrently, Jodie suggests that Daniel returning to normality would be good for him, while Todd implores Summer Spellman to take the place she has been offered at an American university and embrace a fresh start.

Unable to retrieve Gary's deleted CCTV footage, Lisa is left downhearted, though Kit makes it clear that he is still the number one suspect. After Nick and Toyah share their worries about Sam's behaviour with Roy, he calls by for a game of chess, but finds Sam deeply distressed, having found a tracking device in his school bag. Elsewhere, when Cassie Plummer gets strict with Bertie and Dorin Pop while refusing to buy them sweets, Jodie steps in, makes a dig at her age and buys the boys some sweets herself, while tensions boil over at the Rovers when Ben finally crumbles under the immense pressure of the week.
