In tonight's second episode, Gary faces questioning from the police and plays a pretty mean poker face. Finding out about Nick's alibi though, it looks like he may have to play a different card...
At The Rovers, Maria's date is interrupted by the fella's mother!. Making her (fake) excuses, she swiftly leaves. Moira hopes to pick up Maria's sloppy seconds but doesn't have any luck either.
Beth is still grumpy about the majority shares decision, retreats from the factory, and tells Kirk that she'd like to sell her certificate for a holiday instead. Later, and working her way back into the factory fold, Beth doesn't tell Sarah that she's planning on selling. She then decides to play Sean against Paul in seeing who will buy it first.
Meanwhile, Seb queries Alina's sudden disinterest, and Jan tells him to forget about her. As Paula bumps into Eileen, Jan gives the solicitor a knowing gaze. Is there a history between the two?. Later, at the nail salon, Jan visits Alina and tells her to stay away from Seb as it's too risky. Just what is going on here?.
At the corner shop, Evelyn tells Tyrone and Michelle that she thinks Roy fancies her and that's why she wants him to leave. Protesting that Roy is a sexual predator, Tyrone tells his Nan to curb her behaviour or she will be the one leaving the house.
Over a coffee, Maria confides in Michelle about her dating disasters, telling her that Ali has been a great confidante.
The police interrogate Gary further telling him they have intelligence of his dealings with Rick. As he isn't arrested, Gary is free to go but unfortunately, he doesn't see Rick's daughter Kelly heading into the cop shop reception. Back at The Rovers, Gary threatens Imran, believing it was the solicitor who shopped him to the police. At that moment, Sarah walks in and admits that she called the cops on him. In the beer garden, Sarah explains her decision to Gary, who in turn fiercely protests his (faux) innocence.
Later on, Gary bumps into Sharon who tells him that Kelly has been to see the police about Rick's disappearance.
I don't know about a poker face, I think Gary may need a new set of cards!!.
I shall be back same time next week.
