Martin is exhausted after his night in the cells and struggles to deal with his situation. The police are guarded towards him and as they continue their questioning he knows they are convinced that he is guilty. Feeling that he has no way out he is in defeatist mood and tells Audrey and David that his future looks bleak. David is furious at his downbeat attitude and does his best to convince him that his fate is not yet sealed. But how will Martin react to police questioning about Katy and why she isn’t standing by him?
Katy and Angela continue to lead a double life as they try to hide their murderous secret. Angela persists in trying to poison Katy against Martin, insisting that he was the reason behind what she did. Katy appears to have taken in what her mum has said and when Gail calls round to defend Martin she claims to be convinced of his guilt, much to Angela’s relief. Katy continues to keep up the pretence when questioned by the police about Martin’s behaviour, but will she be able to make a scapegoat out of the man she once loved?
Following Ray’s arrival in Weatherfield, things remain difficult between Ken and Deirdre. Tracy agrees with her dad that Ray is unwelcome but she is surprised at how strongly he feels. Showing a softer side, Tracy thanks Ken for being a proper dad to her and tries to reassure him that Ray being around won’t affect their relationship. Ken is touched but remains fearful that Deirdre won’t be able to demonstrate the same commitment.
After receiving a postcard from Yana, Cilla decides that she and Les need a holiday – minus Chesney! Unable to palm him off with Fiz she turns on the waterworks for Roy who inadvertently agrees to baby-sit while Cilla goes off to de-stress! Les is delighted at the prospect of a week in the sun and when a distracted Steve agrees to give him time off work he’s all set to go. But will a week away be enough for Cilla or will it only whet her appetite for more?
Elsewhere, Fred is disappointed at how little people have contributed to Tommy’s collection.

Katy is beginning to wilt under the enormous pressure of her lies and a visit from Tommy’s mum is the last thing she needs. Angela tries to reassure her daughter that they can get through Jean’s visit if they keep to their story, but she too is struggling to contain her guilt. When Jean arrives, the conspiring pair are shocked into realisation about what they have done when they see a weak and feeble woman who is genuinely grieving - something they have been unable to do. Angela also finds it difficult as Jean is able to comfort Craig and talk freely about the loss of his dad. Mother and daughter are relieved when the visit is over but the return of a familiar face to the street fills them with panic.
The stalemate continues in the Barlow household as Ken wants to set a date for the wedding. Deirdre is reluctant and Ken is certain that Ray’s arrival is messing with her emotions. Tracy is becoming annoyed that Ray is interfering in her family’s life and is determined to put a stop to it. In a frosty meeting between father and daughter, Tracy tells Ray he should stop looking for pity and should leave them all alone. But when Ray convinces her to hear him out, Tracy appears to soften a little, even allowing him to hold Amy. Will Ray get his final wish of a reconciliation with his daughter?
Chesney is making the most of his time with Roy and Hayley as he swaps cleaning up after Cilla for being waited on hand and foot. Roy is horrified at Chesney’s highly exaggerated stories of the neglect he has suffered at the hands of Les and Cilla and insists that he will be looked after properly by him and Hayley. The Croppers become instantly attached to Chesney and ponder the thought of what it would be like to have children of their own. All is going well until Chesney breaks down, but which member of his family is he really missing?
Elsewhere, David is becoming restless as he wants to know when Martin will be released. But the answer may come sooner than he thinks.
8:30 pm
Martin’s return prompts mixed emotions on the street. David is thrilled that his dad is a free man but Katy Harris is devastated and convinced that it will only be a matter of time before the police come knocking on her door. Once again, Angela comes to the rescue and hatches a new plan to deflect the guilt from herself and her daughter.
Meanwhile, Martin starts the difficult process of proving to family and friends that he is an innocent man.
Just when things looked as though they were getting better between Tracy and Ray, he takes the opportunity to have a go at Ken. A furious Tracy lashes out and races home to tell Ken and Deirdre what went on. Determined to put things right, Deirdre has an emotional heart-to-heart with Ray but Ken is less than impressed when he finds them together.
As the friendship between Roy and Chesney continues to grow, Roy confides in his young charge that he has had a problem with dogs ever since a nasty incident when he was a child. Chesney suggest that Roy get to know Schmeichel to overcome his fear.

Things are at breaking point in the Harris household as the police begin to turn up the pressure. Under constant police ‘protection’, Katy is feeling suffocated while Angela is hurriedly trying to dispose of the murder weapon. The sight of the wrench sends Katy into panic but, keeping her nerve, Angela tells how she plans to dispose of it. However, her plan falls at the first hurdle when she is disturbed by a police constable. Angela is then asked to do a television appeal in a bid to find Tommy’s killers and instantly feels that she is the one under suspicion.
Ray finally prepares to leave Weatherfield after a frustrated Ken confronts him with a few home truths. Not happy that Ray’s presence is causing a rift between him and his wife-to-be, Ken tells Ray that it’s time he left his family in peace. A reflective Ray appears to agree with Ken as he tells Emily he has left it too late for a reconciliation with Tracy. But will Deirdre be happy to see Ray go for the very last time?
Roy and Hayley continue to be taken in by Chesney’s tales of neglect and hardship as they do their best to feed him up and make him happy. But when Fiz informs them of Chesney’s mischievous past they tackle him about his lies. When put in the hot seat Chesney owns up to his fibs and is worried that he will be sent away. The Croppers reassure him that he is staying put and cheeky Chesney is soon asking where his dinner is!

Living a lie is beginning to take its toll on Angela who is now in a state of panic as she has the murder weapon in the house. Katy is convinced that with increased police presence at the house they are going to be found out and she wants to go back on witness protection.

Ray’s bags are packed and he is ready to leave Coronation Street for one last time. Emily begs Tracy to say goodbye to her estranged father before it is too late, but lacking in emotion, Tracy refuses to swallow her pride. Deirdre feels that Ray deserves something to remind him of Tracy and sneaks round to give him a lock of her baby hair. In an emotional farewell the old sweethearts are able to share a smile through their tears. But Ray might not have seen the last of his friends on the street as a final heart-to-heart with Tracy ends with her asking him to stay.
Roy is taking guidance from Chesney on how to train dogs, with Schmeichel as his first pupil. Not everything goes to plan as the dog ends up taking Roy for a walk but with a secret up his sleeve, Roy soon has him eating out of his hands. Meanwhile, Chesney is mortified at Hayley’s choice of school lunch box and isn’t too keen on what’s inside either!
Elsewhere, Leanne is using her charms on Danny to get Jamie extra work.
