Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) is in danger when drug dealer Harvey (Will Mellor) finds out she?s a secret police informant, forcing her and Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) to plot their escape from Weatherfield.
Feeling the pressure of the police sting to bust Harvey?s drug network, Leanne alerts the cops to a major narcotics haul being delivered to her flat, while trying not to raise suspicion among the dealers.

Lee panics when Harvey insists on taking Simon to pick up the product and begs she go in her son?s place, but to no avail. When the collection goes awry, angry Harvey tells Leanne he reckons someone set him up, forcing her to come clean she?s the grass! With her and Si?s lives at risk, Leanne knows the only way to stay safe is to leave Weatherfield for good. How will her family react when they discover how deeply in danger Leanne is?

After thinking Harvey was Leanne?s new fella, Nick had given up hope on rekindling their relationship. When he learns his ex is knee-deep in a narcotics investigation that almost got her killed, Mr Tilsley reels ? then learns she?s got to go into hiding.

Declaring his undying love to Lee, Nick pleads for her to take him back so they can deal with this almighty mess together. But too much is already at stake and Leanne tells Nick he has to let her go ? unless he?s prepared to say goodbye to Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan), the son he?s only just found. When it comes to the crunch, who will Nick choose ? his childhood sweetheart, or his child?
