We return to Hotton, where the party is in full swing and Carl is ready to flee. Todd is also ready to make a run for it, with Billy at the wheel of the minibus. What could go wrong? Well, it's the first week of January so a lot, I imagine. Debbie and Ronnie take to the floor and when Sue Devaney finally quits the cobbles, I think her agent should get her on Strictly.
Back on the street, Rafael is on the desk at the hotel (as Ryan is on the Emmerdale set) and D.C. Kit in on Carla's trail whilst Becky gaslights Lisa and Betsy onto the 16.05 EasyJet from MAN to ALC. Kit finds Carla locked in a container unit; meanwhile Tracy locks Cassie in the toilet. Carla thinks that Becky is actually abducting Swain from Hull. There's a lot going on and it's not even the half time break yet! Everyone gets wind of the early dart and for various reasons/plot purposes, they get onto the minibus of doom - joined at the last minute by Theo.
In other ill-fated vehicles, a drunken Carl drives away with Debbie and, after a message from Kit via Ryan, a suddenly cognisant Swain orders Becky to stop the car - but Becky drives recklessly on.
That's it from me - enjoy Corriedale!
