Let's not cry over spilt tea. Welcome to the start of Corrie's Big Week with the Little Big Shotz car wash (and they've even splashed out on the Rose Royce song), Nathan taunting Bethany from a van and Roy's Winifred Holtby novel soaking in tea on the prison cell floor. Since this is a Big Week, the ep is filmed in a naturalistic way with multiple close ups, natural light and shadows, and jumps in time. It's supposed to be unsettling as it's not Corrie as we know it and it works (even though its raining on the street and sunny two seconds later in the yard).
Bethany yells at Craig who - lest we forget - is just a constable about Nathan's proclivities which makes Sarah so mad/guilty she runs to the builder's site and finds out that £10K hasn't bribed Nathan to leave after all, which is hardly surprising. Sarah's got another stupid plan, which involves planting Lauren's hair bobble (that Max found chez Platt) in Nathan's van. We've already seen Bobby's attempts to pervert the course of justice going badly, why does Sarah think her actions'll be any different?
Kit, who seems to be stalking Sarah, turns up as she's planting the bobble, which she puts back in her pocket and Kit gives her a talking to just before arresting Nathan. All's well that ends well?? I guess we'll see over the next four days....
