On Monday at 7:30pm, a shocked Gail takes photos of David’s injuries for the police. David reckons it was Joe who beat him up, but Gail’s upset and doesn’t know what to think. Joe eventually arrives home, having spent the night in his van, and he’s shocked at the state of David, swearing to Gail he had nothing to do with it.

Tina meanwhile is horrified at David’s injuries and asks him what time he was attacked. The nature of her questions make David realise that Tina thinks Jason was responsible, and he’s furious. Tina confronts Jason, but he swears he never even saw David last night. It’s clear Tina doesn’t believe him and it isn’t long before the police turn up at No.11 and arrest Jason on suspicion of assault.

Rita tells Ramsay how Emily’s going to miss him and urges him to stay in Weatherfield. This has given him food for thought and he announces to Emily and Rita that he’s decided to stick around and is going to put an offer in on a flat in Victoria Court. Emily’s delighted.

Gail and Joe have a heart to heart after the situation with David. They admit they still love each other and agree to give their relationship another go, but can it work after everything they’ve been through?

Jesse tells Eileen that his mother’s thrown him out and he’d like to take her up on her offer. Eileen’s pleased but isn’t so sure what to think when Jesse arrives complete with a parrot called John!

At 8:30pm, all the old rivalry comes flooding back as Eileen and Gail row on the street whilst Jason’s driven off in a police car. Tina’s furious and, sticking up for Jason, tells Gail and Joe how David came round to the flat and threatened her.

Later, Jason’s released as there’s no evidence against him and Tina apologises for disbelieving him. David’s gutted when Jason gets off scot free, but he’s shocked when someone else confesses to the beating.

Meanwhile, things are looking up for Joe as he tells Gail he’s got a part-time job in a hardware job. Audrey’s unimpressed, but Gail’s pleased he’s making an effort.

Ramsay accompanies Emily to Ernest’s grave. Ramsay talks about his childhood and it’s clear Emily’s very smitten with him.

Jesse’s deeply concerned that John the parrot has taken an instant dislike to Eileen. He tells Eileen that John’s usually a very good judge of character – could this be the end of a beautiful relationship?

On Thursday, David reluctantly admits to Gail that Jason wasn’t behind the attack, but he doesn’t tell her that he knows who the real culprit was. David agrees with Gail that he ought to tell the police he doesn’t think it was Jason. There’s relief at the Grimshaws’ when Jason gets a call from the police telling him he’s in the clear.

Meanwhile, David gets a warning from his attacker – they’re quits now and he wants him to stay out of his way in future.

Jesse tells Eileen that John the parrot likes to listen to classical music at breakfast time.

A ruffled Eileen tells Jesse that in future, the bird stays locked up.

Joe finds Tina’s charm bracelet wedged between the floorboards in the flat. Tina’s pleased, but wishes she hadn’t accused David of taking it.

Ramsay shows Norris the flat he’s buying in Victoria Court and suggests Norris should move in with him. Norris is horrified at the idea and tells him so.

So, Ramsay packs his bags and leaves for Australia and Emily’s tearful as she watches him go.

Ashley gives up his most treasured possession, his signed Ricky Hatton boxing gloves, as the prize for the charity fete. Claire’s touched but she doesn’t know that guilt has motivated her husband’s generosity.
