The most sanctimonious young people on the Street (Sophie still counts as young, right?) are praising themselves for not succumbing to the bad drugs (apart from giant vats of Costa coffee), little knowing, for now at least, what actually happened. The police are 'round Michelle's flat, questioning Ryan#3 and Michelle is still coaching Ry; I guess she would know how to do this after she got away with stealing £10,000 from her own business. Ryan 'fesses up to Sophie, asking her to lie to the po-po about what time he left her on the bench and accordingly, when the police turn up at Speed Daal, she tells them she was with him for longer than she actually was. All the lying pays off as Cormac's dad arrives to thank the Connor-Neeson-Preston household, telling them that he's grateful that they tried to save his lad. For now, at least, because posh Paula tells Soph she needs to tell the police the truth.
Ali's got more than one storyline going on as, after hearing that Roy has given him £3K to help with his paramedic training as thanks for "saving" Roy's life, he threatens Jude, telling him he has to return the cheque to Mr Cropper. So Jude makes sure that Ali sees him giving back the cheque to Roy, but he in fact actually asks Mr C for a new cheque for £5,000. BACS transfer might be a better bet, Jude. Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we lie about being a marine biologist. By the way, Roy, "collywobbles" comes from either a corruption of cholera, or from breathing colly (coaldust). I'm sorry, I've started watching Monkman and Seagull between the two eps and now have an insatiable desire to spout facts at all times.
David is mad with Billy and then with Bethany when he finds out that she knew the Rev was visiting Josh in hospital, but not as mad as he is when Josh turns up to the salon. He throws him out, but changes his mind and manhandles him into his car, trying to get Josh to confess to what he did. David takes him to a back alley, pretending that they're at a police station and Josh begs him not to dob him into the cops, fearing going to prison and being a registered sex offender. David drives off, leaving Josh there, and tells Billy and Shona that he now has closure, is not defined by what happened to him, and that he is himself again.
In comedy news, Kirk is obsessed with the "fact" that a big cat is roaming the streets of Timperley and wants to set out with Tyrone to get some footage and make megabucks. Daniel takes the mickey but after Sinead shouts at him, he apologises to Kirk, asking him to be his best man and saying that he likes his crazy conspiracy theories - only because Daniel's making lots of notes for his future novel about life on t'cobbles, I bet. Kirk's best conspiracy is that, very allegedly, Lord Lucas (sic) used to work on the mis-shaped biscuits stall at Levenshulme market. In the meantime, Sinead confesses to Beth that she has been bleeding for the last month. Beth tells her to go to A&E for this week's upcoming hospital scene.
Oh, and Brian gets the job at Bessie Street, and then gets very drunk to celebrate.

Please may this be the end of Jude. Let Angie stay, she has way more spark when she's in scenes without him! I do feel a bit sorry for the actor though, having all those rubbish storylines to act out, with Mary's inane wittering on top.
I totally agree. I just saw this episode on the Canadian timeline and I just want to smack Jude across the back of the head!
