IDRIS HAS AN ACE UP HIS SLEEVE Idris tells Ollie that he’d like him to take part in the poker game, he’ll provide him with the cash, the odds will be stacked in his favour and he’ll receive a cut of the winnings. As Lauren and Brody set up for the poker night, Lauren overhears Idris giving Ollie his instructions. Lauren warns Ollie that if he’s caught cheating, he’ll be in serious trouble. Having found out about the poker night from Brody, Kit calls at Speed Daal and persuades a reluctant Idris to let him take part and one of the players, Fiona, insists they double the stakes. With the game underway, Idris watches intently while Brody secretly knocks back shots behind the bar. One by one the players fold leaving Fiona and Ollie to battle it out. Ollie wins the game hands down. Fiona’s fuming whilst Idris breathes a sigh of relief. After Idris has a go at Brody for stealing drinks, Brody lets slip to Leanne that it was a poker night and Ollie won using the money she gave Idris. How will Leanne react?

SARAH FIGHTS FIRE WITH FIRE Kacey tells Sarah that if anything happens to her son, it’ll be on her.

SALLY TAKES ONE STEP FORWARD AND TWO STEPS BACK Tim tells Sally that social services called and Lucy will be going to meet her new foster parents tomorrow.

ELSEWHERE Glenda spots a woman, Celeste, knocking on the door of No.7. Glenda informs her that Dev and Bernie are away and the woman heads off. As Todd locks up the undertakers, Celeste approaches and explains that she’s looking to arrange a funeral and she’d like to do it over a drink.

KIT TELLS SARAH THAT SHE’S ON HER OWN On the street, Todd tells Kit that Sarah would like to see him, she wouldn’t say what about but it’s important. Kit visits Sarah who explains that she needs his help. Kit tells Sarah that if he were to help Kacey he could lose his job and reminds her that she dumped him to stop him from doing exactly that. Later, Kacey’s threats turn to violence.

ADAM DOESN’T THINK KIT IS FIT TO PARENT Sarah calls Adam from prison and Adam tells her that Harry needs stability, Kit is proving unreliable. Later, Adam and Bethany approach Kit and suggest that Harry should stay with Adam for the rest of the holidays as it’s important they all share the load. Kit’s affronted but when Gemma intervenes, will Kit agree?

LUCY LASHES OUT Sally and Tim assure Brody that Joanie and Shanice will visit their mum as soon as they’re back from Spain, but a resentful Lucy seethes, desperate to see her own dad. When her pleas for even a phone call are blocked by Tim, Lucy lashes out and refuses to join them for tea. A defeated Sally and Tim admit they might be completely out of their depth.

IDRIS HATCHES A RISKY PLAN Alya spells out to Idris she wants £50k for her share of Speed Daal and he can take it or leave it. Sam joins Idris for a game of chess in Speed Daal. When Ollie reveals that he was a poker fiend back in the day, Idris forms an idea.

When Idris admits that he’s struggling to find the extra £15k for Alya, Leanne offers to lend him £5k. Idris books Speed Daal for a private party and enlists the help of Ollie and Lauren, explaining that it’s a poker night and neither Alya nor Leanne must find out about it…

ELSEWHERE Christina joins Todd, James, and Sean in the Rovers for a night out. However, she soon leaves, admitting she's not in the mood for socialising while she's so worried about George.
