Monday
With Nicola low after her job interview and in need of a large glass of wine, she heads back to Mulberry with Steve. Steve confides that things are not going well with Bernice, and when Jimmy calls, Nicola finds herself lying to him about her whereabouts.
As the alcohol flows, the pair continue to enjoy their time together. A keen Steve makes his move as he leans in for a kiss, but will Nicola respond?
Meanwhile, Moira is fuming when Cain returns from the station. She lays into him for having helped Adam escape. Moira demands that he speaks to Chas to find out if Adam is with Aaron, and then gives Cain the order to pack his bags and leave. Will he be able to put things right?
Elsewhere, Cameron cannot believe his luck to realise Adam has done a runner, an act that would surely imply his guilt.
Also today, with Joanie under the impression that Amy is some sort of nanny, she calls on her to look after Kyle while she goes to an appointment. Amy is both excited and apprehensive at the prospect of spending some time alone with her son. At the same time, a worried Victoria goes to see Zak.

Nicola realises that she could never do anything to hurt her family and promptly goes to tell Steve just that. But will Steve take no for an answer - particularly when he reminds her of the money he has 'lent' her?
Meanwhile, with Adam still missing, Moira is in a state of panic, knowing how bad this looks for him. When Declan arrives to see if she has spoken to the bank, she bites back that it's not at the top of her list of priorities right now, but it's clear that won't be the end of it.
Later at the pub, Moira asks Chas if Aaron has heard from Adam. She is annoyed when Chas says fortunately not, relieved that Aaron has not got himself caught up in this saga. Moira spoils for a fight and in her conviction Adam is not guilty, remarks how not everyone can kill people and walk away like nothing has happened.
Elsewhere, following the confrontation between Moira and Chas, Debbie feels guilty that Chas still thinks she is Carl's killer.
Also today, Zak attempts to talk some sense into Amy, but when she says Joanie is fine with her and she knows who she really is, Zak relents a little, also intrigued by his grandson.
