WEDNESDAY 6TH OCTOBER

KEVIN’S FEARS FOR ABI GROW The Gazette is full of Corey scoring a goal in his first match. Nina feels there’s no escaping his smug face. Nina tells Roy she intends to make the most of life rather than dwell on pursuing justice, as she couldn’t bear to cause him pain. Roy’s hugely relieved to have got through to her. Hearing Roy voice concerns for Nina’s mental state renews Kevin’s fears for Abi and he anxious that something has happened to her when Sally reveals she’s had no response from her either. Kevin leaves a new message, pleading for Abi to get in touch.

ZEEDAN IS LEFT WITH A BITTER TASTE With woefully few bookings for the tasting event, Zeedan heads out to drum up some interest and teach Debbie a lesson. Yasmeen and Alya break the news to Zeedan that they’ve been inundated with last-minute bookings but Navid, Speed Daal’s chef, hascalled in sick.

DESPERATE SUMMER TAKES DRASTIC ACTION Daniel’s miffed when Summer reveals she’s now using her mentor’s personal statement for guidance rather than his. When Summer leaves her bag at No.7, Aadi’s shocked to discover she’s copied her mentor’s personal statement, word for word onto her own.

SALLY PARKS HER ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS Sally and Tim celebrate their first anniversary. But the occasion is swiftly forgotten when a thrilled Sally opens a letter saying the council is considering her parking proposals. Tim’s irked when Sally ditches him to discuss the parking campaign with Fergus in the Rovers. Tim ruefully remarks to Gary that the demented glint in Sally’s eye is back.

ELSEWHERE Jenny’s amused by Daisy’s outrage at Daniel turning her down for a date. Thinking them ill-suited, Jenny pushes Daisy to serve Leo, a handsome bloke who enters the pub. James informs Michael that County’s PR team has apologised for their lack of support for his police complaint. Michael’s pleased and urges James to use his platform for good.

KEVIN TURNS DETECTIVE A frantic Kevin informs the police of Abi’s disappearance but is shocked to get a notification from the bank of a £5K withdrawal from their joint account. Sickened by the thought of what Abi’s taken it for Kevin visits the Dog & Gun with a photo of Abi, asking the regulars if she’s been in. Discovering Seb’s dad Tez is in the bar he breaks the news of Seb’s murder and explains his fears that Abi has turned back to drugs in her grief. Tez assures him that he hasn't seen or heard from Abi.

IT’S A NO SHOW AT SPEED DAAL As the local food critic arrives at Speed Daal, Alya and Yasmeen are puzzled that none of their bookings have shown up. A furious Zeedan guesses what’s happened. Zeedan returns to Speed Daal with a homeless man, Stu in tow and explains he’s arranged for all the uneaten food to be donated to Billy’s soup kitchen.

DANIEL PUTS A SPRING BACK INTO SUMMER’S STEP Aadi tackles Summer about her plagiarism. Embarrassed at being caught out, a flustered Summer flees, leaving Aadi worried he’s blown it. Summer admits to Daniel that she copied her mentor’s statement. Daniel insists her first one was great and Oxford would be lucky to have her.

ELSEWHERE Jenny chats to Leo, hoping to get him interested in Daisy. Leo reveals he’s working on the sinkhole at No.8 so will be around for a while. Tim and Sally go to the bistro for an anniversary meal, but Tim’s aghast when Fergus joins them, having been invited by Sally for another parking pow-wow.
