Carla's paranoia reaches new heights
As we discover the identity of the roof saboteur
At the start of the week, Carla’s mental health practitioner, Scott, calls at the flat. He’s concerned to see that she’s still suffering from paranoia. As they discuss her condition, Carla listens in a state of high anxiety. And when Michelle visits Carla, she's shocked at the state of her.
When DS Beckett calls round to question Carla, Carla becomes confused and upset on the mention of the factory roof and it’s clear she thinks Rana’s still alive. Peter gives
Carla her medication but unbeknown to him, she flushes it away.
With Johnny and Kate both shocked by the state Carla is in, Kate tells Peter that it’s clear Carla’s medication isn’t working and he needs to accept that he’s bitten off more than he can chew.
After finding her in a confused state, having flooded the bathroom, Peter is comforted by Ken whilst Carla rummages through her collection of stolen phones and stuffs a toothbrush and toothpaste into her bag.
Friday's episode will follow Carla as she suffers a severe psychotic episode with elements of the episode from Carla’s POV.
Consumed with paranoia, having not taken her medication, Carla is convinced that everyone is out to get her and is desperate to escape the flat. When Gary finds her in the ginnel, she drops her bag revealing a stash of mobile phones including Sarah’s.
Having realised to their horror that Carla is missing, Peter, Roy, Johnny, Michelle and Kate frantically phone the emergency services.
Spotting a woman in a red coat that she believes to be Hayley, Carla follows her all the way towards Victoria Street and up the fire escape steps. Intent on rescuing her, Peter follows her up.
Carla stops and clearly hallucinating, talks first to Hayley, then Rana and finally Aidan. Peter listens, heartbroken. Will he be able to rescue the woman he loves?
Also on Friday, the identity of the factory roof saboteur is revealed. But who will it be?
Audrey discovers the truth about her missing money
But will she be able to forgive her grandsons?
This week sees Audrey, Gail, Nick, Sarah, Bethany, David, Shona, Max, Lily and Harry go on holiday, leaving Leanne behind, who refuses to join as she believes Nick is lying to her.
As they arrive at their holiday lodge, Gail is convinced that Lorraine Kelly is also staying there and cajoles Sarah and Bethany to chase Lorraine in a pedalo. Will Gail get to meet her idol?
From one welcome visitor to an unwelcome visitor, David and Nick are shocked when Natalie turns up with some worrying news. And when Shona sees David in close conversation with Natalie she calls the engagement off.
After recognising Natalie’s tattoo, Gail googles her profile, zooms in on her tattoo and tells Nick that she recognises it as the same one on the CCTV footage of the girl who stole Audrey’s money.
With Gail having called the police, Nick's horrified and sets off in search of David who finds Audrey sitting by the lake and plucks up the courage to tell her the truth.
When Nick arrives just as David drops the bombshell, Audrey is stunned, but as David and Nick try to explain will she see it in her heart to forgive her Grandsons?
As the Platts return to Weatherfield, Nick explains to Leanne his reasons for stealing the money and tells her that David made him. But will she believe him? And will David accept the blame in return for half of the barber's shop?
