On Monday at 7:30pm, as Hayley takes over the relief manager’s job at the factory, the gossip about Tony continues. The pressure’s starting to get to Hayley, and she wonders if she’s up to the job. Roy’s also feeling the heat and unable to stop thinking about Tony’s hospital confession, he decides it‘s time he got some answers.

Arriving home, Maria finds Roy waiting for her, she demands to know what’s going on.

When David overhears Gail and Joe discussing their engagement, he’s distinctly unimpressed. But it seems nothing can dampen their spirits; that is until Joe gets a knock on the door from a debt-collector…

He tells Joe that he’s bought his debt from the kitchen supplies firm and they need to work out a repayment plan. Joe’s shocked, aware he‘s now in way too deep.

Fiz skives off work to clean the house in readiness for John’s home-coming. But when she looks at the state of no.7, she despairs at the enormity of the task she’s set herself.

As Jack hides out at no.9, Connie calls round demanding to know why he’s avoiding her.

At 8:30pm, as Maria demands answers from Roy, you could cut the tension in the room with a knife. Roy looks like he’s about to reveal all about Tony’s confession, but at the last minute, he decides he needs more evidence before he throws Maria’s world into further chaos. Bewildered by his behaviour, Maria tells Roy to leave her alone.

Joe’s stunned as the debt collector tells him he owes him £5k and he’s not leaving without it. In desperation, Joe’s forced to give him his van, but as he celebrates his engagement to Gail in the Rovers, Joe lies, explaining he sold his van so he can buy an engagement ring. Gail’s touched while Joe, inwardly panicking, suggests a quick Christmas wedding.

Kirk, Darryl, David and Zoe redecorate no.5 as a surprise for Fiz. She’s delighted as she nervously anticipates bringing John home.

Jack confronts Connie about the fact he keeps hearing her at his bedroom door. Connie’s mortified and explains that she must be sleepwalking. But will Jack buy it?

On Wednesday, it’s John’s release day from prison, and as an emotional Fiz collects him, they decide to go for a picnic to savour his new found freedom. But the day soon turns sour when they arrive back on the street. Sally’s furious when she spots John going to carry his new wife across the threshold and storms over, branding John a paedophile.

Kevin tries to calm the situation but as Fiz and John settle down for their first married night together, Sally sets off to no.5, a woman on a mission.

When Roy admits to Hayley that he went for a walk in the middle of the night, she urges him to stop obsessing over Tony. Roy assures her he will.

When Joe buys Gail a cheap engagement ring, she’s thrilled, pointing out they’ll now have more money to spend on the wedding. Joe quietly panics, knowing he‘s in it up to his neck.

Molly tells Kevin she’s fed up of pretending there’s nothing between them and that if he really cares about her, he’ll leave Sally. Kevin’s stunned.

On Thursday, Roy’s still refusing to drop his suspicions about Tony. But when he’s issued with a shocking ultimatum that’s too close to home, Roy’s forced to reconsider his position. Roy’s visibly shaken as he confides in Hayley.

Fiz and John wake up to discover that someone’s painted all their windows black. Kevin’s furious realising Sally must be the culprit. But while Fiz is spoiling for a fight, John sets to and scrapes off the paint, determined not to let Sally get to him. However, when Sally proudly admits to Fiz that she’s responsible for vandalising her house, John becomes all too aware that life on the street isn’t going to be easy.

Jesse and Julie meet in secret for another kids’ party. But when they spot Simon in the audience, they panic that their cover is about to be blown. Will Eileen discover their lies?

When Gary talks to Ted about his time in the forces, he’s intrigued to hear it described as the making of him and what turned him into a man.

On Friday at 7:30pm, Hayley hasn’t slept since Roy‘s shocking revelation about Tony. Sorry she ever doubted him, Hayley claims it’s time they went to the police. But Roy reckons the police will never believe them. Unsure of what to do next, the Croppers spend the day hiding in their flat. But when their disappearance becomes a talking point, Roy realises he could be putting them both in danger and concedes they’ll have to go to the police.

Kevin’s had enough of Sally ranting about John Stape and promises to go and see a solicitor to find out where they stand. Molly meanwhile is in a foul mood, and when she snaps at Kirk, Tyrone presumes it‘s him being in the house that‘s bothering her and tells Kirk it’s time he found somewhere else to live. But Molly’s mood is only lifted when Kevin arranges to meet her at the motel later.

Eileen’s growing increasingly suspicious of Jesse‘s strange behaviour so pays Eddie to watch his movements and report back. But when Eddie clocks Julie climbing into Jesse’s van, it looks like Eileen may be about to receive the news she didn‘t want to hear.

And Steve arrives back from his honeymoon.

At 8:30pm, Roy and Hayley have told the police everything they know about Tony, so when detectives tell them they’ll take it from here, they return to the street and hurriedly pack their bags. Now aware of the full extent of Tony’s crimes, they’re intent on getting away from Weatherfield, fearing those involved in Liam’s death could come after them. But as the police arrive on the street, someone is intent on silencing the Croppers. Have they left it too late to get away?

Elsewhere John’s thrilled when Roy asks him to help out in the café while they’re away. Sally meanwhile is less than happy to discover John in Roy’s Rolls and her hackles rise once more.

When Kevin’s solicitor tells him there’s little chance of getting an injunction against John, he takes the opportunity to use the meeting to find out how where he would stand financially if he divorced Sally. But Kevin doesn’t like what he hears, and when he meets Molly at the motel, it looks like the meeting has forced him into making a big decision about their future.

And Eileen’s gutted when Eddie tells her that Jesse has been secretly meeting up with Julie. Jesse assures her it’s a work arrangement only and not an affair, but Eileen refuses to accept it and insists Jesse sacks Julie immediately. Will Jesse do as he’s told or has he had enough of being bossed around by Eileen?
