Abi is being taken away in an ambulance with good Samaritan Peter by her side. When she wakes up after having an operation on her shoulder, Seb tells her that the twins have already gone to Australia but that he understands why she gave them up and thinks they will have a better life. He’s changed his tune. He’s been moping around telling her she’s a terrible mother for months. Still, maybe he’ll cheer up now. Oh no I forgot, he’s still got Alina to sulk over. Give me strength!
Meanwhile at Victoria Gardens, Mary, Billy and Sean are on a stakeout, hoping the errant Todd will be lured by the bag of money they’ve left as bait. When a random girl turns to collect the money I did for a moment think I know they’re replacing Todd with a new actor but this has gone a bit far. But as it turns out she's just a chancer who says she found Todd’s phone by the canal. The man himself remains mysteriously absent.
Over at No. 8 Adam is collecting his stuff. Sarah begs him to forgive her but he says they’re over unless she changes her mind about protecting Gary. Needing a bit of moral support, our favourite Scot asks Daniel to go for a few beers with him but Dan turns him down claiming he’s got someone coming round to do an energy survey. That someone turns out, predictably, to be Nicky, who has apparently taken two buses to get there. I’m no expert on what your average escort earns, but I'd have thought she could have stretched to an Uber.
In other news Paul tells Bernie and Cathy that he’s worried about Gemma being depressed again. Gemma assures them she’s not, she just didn’t want Paul to find out about the surprise birthday party she’s organising for him.
Back at the hospital Abi is in physical pain and emotional distress over the twins. When the doctor gets distracted by another patient, she takes the opportunity to steal some morphine from a medical trolley. She’s caught by Peter who tells her to put it back, but doesn’t shop her to Kev or Seb. Ooh Mr Barlow you are very protective. Could there still be a spark between these two?
And that's all for this week. But if anyone knows how Abi manages to maintain such a perfect manicure while fixing cars all day please do let me know in the comments page or on twitter @mskelstar.
