Episode 10250 (15th February 2021)

## Plot

**Part One:** DS Tyler arrives at No.13 to question Abi about Ray bribing the planning chairperson. Only concerned about Kevin, Abi reports her boyfriend missing. Debbie explains to Kevin that she holds onto her money as it's all she has. A suspicious Simon checks Leanne's phone records and finds out she's been making premium rate calls to Crystal Webber. He tells her that she's being taken for a ride but Leanne insists that Crystal is helping her. Todd lines up a buyer for the pews. Billy agrees on £6,000, unaware that the buyer is offering £7,500 and Todd is pocketing the difference. In hospital, Fiz and Evelyn fear Tyrone's had a heart attack but it turns out to be just acid reflux. Ray tells the police he doesn't know where Kevin or Debbie are. Kevin starts to sympathise with Debbie when she points out that while people will be worried sick about him, nobody will notice she's missing. Tyler repeats Ray's assertion to Abi that Kevin and Debbie have run off with his money. Abi is astonished that the police find the explanation credible and resolves to find Kevin herself.

**Part Two:** Fiz and Evelyn plan a new healthy regime for a worried Tyrone. Johnny tells Jenny what the psychiatrist said. He admits he doesn't mind the hallucinations any more as he likes seeing Aidan but Jenny insists that he focuses on getting better. In the fridge, Kevin and Debbie huddle together for warmth. Debbie admits she was wrong about Abi and advises Kevin never to let her go. Their bonding session gives Kevin a second wind and he bangs the door with a pole, just as Abi's in the office trying to log into the office computer. Abi hears the noise but dismisses it, leaving with the signed contract she finds on the kitchen floor. Leanne convinces herself that Crystal is genuine as she knew things about Oliver but Simon remains sceptical. Johnny secretly washes away his medication, wanting the hallucinations to continue. Losing hope, Kevin and Debbie spend a second night in the fridge.
