It’s mayhem on the street as Maria (Samia Smith) sits dazed in the crumpled wreck of her car and Tony (Gray O’Brien) lies on the cobbles. Kevin (Michael Le Vell) rushes to Maria’s aide whilst Carla (Alison King) is relieved to discover that Tony is conscious. The emergency services are called and Tony and Maria are taken to hospital. The enormity of what she has done hits home to Maria and she waits with baited breath to see if she has harmed her unborn child. Meanwhile the police warn her that she could be facing an attempted murder charge if it is proved that she tried to run Tony over on purpose.

A cocky Gary Windass (Mikey North) suggests to Tina (Michelle Keegan) that David (Jack P Shepherd) tried to frame him for the robbery because he is jealous and worried that Tina fancies him. Later in the pub David is devastated when he hears Tina telling Jason (Ryan Thomas) that she isn’t sure Gary is guilty.

Later Tony has a surprise for everyone when he brings Jed Stone (Kenneth Cope) to the pub – after first making sure he covers the ligature marks on his neck. Maria feels foolish when Tony asks her to come to the pub to meet someone. Carla (Alison King) however is not convinced when Tony tells her he set Jed up in a new home after feeling bad about buying his old house and when she later sees Tony frogmarching Jed to his car, and apparently threatening him, her suspicions are aroused even more.
