Episode 9304 (7th March 2022)

==Plot==
Part One: Meena waits for Manpreet to arrive at the prison. Charity is exasperated at how slow the renovation at the Woolpack is going ahead of the opening on Friday. She attempts to make up with Chas but they quickly fall out again. Vinny catches Noah and Samson gossiping about his relationship with Liv. He is hurt as he overhears Noah commenting about their lack of a sex life and how they won't last. Charity is gobsmacked when she overhears Chas offering to step in as manager for Eric at the B&B. Eric is thrilled. Manpreet finally arrives to see Meena.
Part Two: Meena chinks away at Manpreet as the pair talk about Liam, the court hearing and Charles. Manpreet lashes out as Meena claims she did her a favour by killing Andrea. The Prison Officer moves to escort Manpreet out but an upset Meena begs for her to stay, saying she deserved the slap. Rhona takes a more subtle approach to her proposal and meets with Marlon in the cafe. She is interrupted as the pair notice Brenda listening in. Manpreet tries to encourage Meena to confess to her crimes, bargaining that she and Charles will stay in contact with her if she does. Meena promises to speak to the police again. Rhona takes Marlon outside for a little more privacy as she attempts to propose for a third time. They are interrupted this time as a car pulls up outside Smithy Cottage and backfires. Rhona is startled when the car's occupant turns out to be her mother, Mary. Liv and Vinny are awkward as Chas offers to throw them an engagement party at the B&B on Friday. Rhona is downbeat to find that Mary seems not to have a short stay in mind. Charity is annoyed to receive an invite to Vinny and Liv's engagement party at the B&B scheduled for Friday. Seeing this as competition, she insists to Ryan and Mackenzie that the pub must open on Thursday to crush them. Manpreet informs Charles that Meena has agreed to come clean to the police. She asks him to pray for her. Meena makes a statement to DS Rogers, showing off her scratched face and sharing how scared she is of her sister. She tells him that Manpreet killed Andrea in a desperate attempt to cling onto Charles and then persuaded her to take the wrap.
