On Monday’s first visit at 7:30pm, scared of finding out something’s wrong with the baby Maria cancels her scan appointment at the hospital. She sets about her day she tries to put it out of mind but when Tony and Tom resume their bickering over Ladrags, she snaps back, obviously unable to shake her nagging fears.

Over at the factory, Luke’s onto Tony’s private investigator and decides to play him at his own game. Pulling on a Tony mask, Luke throws eggs at the PI’s car then disappears. The PI’s cover is blown when a mask-less Luke then re-appears to wave at him. Tony’s furious to hear his nemesis has got the upper hand once again but as Luke prepares for his piece de resistance, it all goes horribly wrong…

It’s not Tony but a startled Maria who walks into the factory as Luke jumps out in the mask. It’s a stark reminder of the night Liam died that leaves both Maria and Tony having nightmares.

Teresa’s still not making many friends on the street and Minnie’s annoyed when she arrives late for work and when she then kicks up a fuss in Dev’s shop, he vows never to let his daughter marry Teresa’s son.

Meanwhile Poppy’s worried when Tara tells her she’s planning a surprise for Dev. He’s keen to know what she’s got in store for him but has Tara got revenge in mind?

Over at the Rovers Steve and Becky return from the Maldives.

In the 8.30pm show, Luke’s left red-faced after the mask stunt as Tony fumes at him, explaining the painful connotations of the mask for Maria. Luke apologises but counters that Tony went too far hiring a PI and sacks him for gross misconduct.

Outraged Tony meets with the PI to look over Luke’s finances, determined to find something that will ruin him. Discovering Luke’s stretched himself to the limit buying the factory, Tony threatens to stop all Underworld orders from his textile business if Luke doesn’t reinstate him. How will Luke react?

Meanwhile Tony visits Maria to check if she’s OK after Luke’s prank. Breaking down, Maria admits there’s more to it; she cancelled her scan as she was terrified of going alone. Tony’s quick to step in offering to accompany her next time but while Tony’s busy comforting Maria, he forgets about his date with Natasha. How will she react to being stood up?

Tara tells Dev she wants to preserve their relationship through photographs and suggests they pose naked for each other. Dev agrees and strips off for the shoot but when it’s Tara’s turn to pose, snapper Justin’s conveniently called away and Dev remains oblivious as Tara hatches her plan.

Liz isn’t happy to hear that Tracy wants Amy to visit her in prison and calls Steve  from Spain to say she won’t let Amy go. Becky warns Steve that lying to Amy will do more harm than good so Steve’s caught in the middle yet again.

Darryl decides to sack Teresa but when she shows him the widescreen TV she’s found for the flat, he changes his mind. Incensed, Minnie resigns instead.

In the Rovers, Jack  and Connie discuss Vera and take a moment to acknowledge their losses. Connie gives Jack her number, hoping they’ll meet again.

On Wednesday, Maria’s terrified as she waits for her scan. Tony’s by her side though and as the sonographer checks for a heartbeat she reaches out for his hand. Everything’s OK and as Maria’s told she’s having a boy, her relief is palpable but the image of Liam’s son is too much for Tony to bear and reminded of his sins, he rushes from the room struggling to breath. Will his behaviour reignite Maria’s suspicions?

Meanwhile back on the street, Tom’s disappointed that Maria didn’t ask him to take her to the scan. Tony though makes it clear he’s out in the cold and, keen to stick the knife in further, he then tells Maria that Tom has a massive crush on her. Maria knows and jumping on her admission, Tony offers to buy Tom out of Ladrags. But will Tom sell out to Tony?

Steve allows Becky  to persuade him to let Amy visit Tracy but when Becky discovers Liz and Steve have told Amy her mummy works in a hotel, she encourages Steve to at least tell Amy that Tracy did something bad.

Tara tells Poppy there’s nothing to salvage from her relationship with Dev so she’ll enjoy twisting the knife. She then raves about how the public art installation she’s planning will get everyone talking and asks Dev to put up £9000 to help the project to take off.

And Fiz  is frustrated when Chesney leaves his homework to the last minute. She tells Kirk that, in order to help Chesney, she’s going to clue up on all things ‘Jekyll & Hyde’. But does that mean John?

On Friday at 7.30pm, Becky’s stung when she hears that Liz has criticised how she is with Amy, so when Amy’s school call saying an upset Amy’s being sent home Becky sees an opportunity to help and goes to collect her. Miss Muirhouse explains that another pupil told Amy her mum’s a murderer.

When Amy then asks Becky if it’s true, Becky tells her it is, believing she deserves the truth but Steve’s horrified to hear what Becky’s done and a huge row breaks out where more than a few home truths are revealed.

Maria’s furious to hear Tony’s offered to buy Tom out of Ladrags behind her back and feeling her life’s spiralling out of her control, she angrily tells Tony she doesn’t want to be in partnership with him which makes Tom happy that he’s caused a rift between them.

Chesney asks Fiz to find out what ‘misanthropic’ means so he can do his GCSE homework and Fiz seizes upon this as a reason to justify visiting John. As she arrives at the prison her emotions are in turmoil so how will she feel when she discovers she’s forgotten her photo ID and can’t go in?

Kelly’s on the hunt for a man to help spice up her birthday celebrations so she invites Luke to her party but the factory girls tell her she’s deluded to think she has a chance with him.

And finally, Jason offers to be Molly’s training partner.

At 8.30pm, Becky’s hurting after her row with Steve and as Roy suggests she should’ve let Amy’s family tell her about Tracy, Becky admits she thought she was family. Steve meanwhile is also questioning their relationship; he loves Becky even though she’s a liability sometimes and, with Amy to think of, he doesn’t know if it can work. Will the couple be able to sort through their differences or is this the end of the road for Steve and Becky?

It’s a good day for business for Tony; he knows he’s got Luke over a barrel and says he’ll only return to Underworld if Luke agrees to make decisions jointly. A truce is reached and as Maria too holds out the olive branch, Tom can see he’s beaten and agrees to sell his share of Ladrags to Tony. Tony’s smug as Maria admits he’s ‘like a brother’ to her, but Tom’s devastated and with his jealousy getting the better of him, he lets rip at the pair.

Kelly’s birthday celebrations are full swing in the Rovers and she’s keen to a bag a man, but when she hits on Luke, he knocks her back. Kelly then turns her attentions to Tom, who, after his row with Maria and Tony, is only too happy to be with someone else. Meanwhile, as a drunken Julie laughs at Jason’s jokes, he takes his chances and whisks her off…

Chesney’s concerned when Fiz returns home downbeat but she hands him a dictionary and tells him misanthropy means ‘a general dislike/distrust of people’. She then tells Chesney she needs a cuddle.

And finally, Molly  tells Jack it’s okay to spend time with Connie as Vera would want him to be happy but Tyrone’s annoyed that Molly’s encouraging Jack to see Connie.
