Episode 10164 (9th November 2020)

## Plot

Leanne regrets the words as soon as she's said them. Steve ignores the come-on, putting it down to the pressure Leanne is under. Leanne's mortified and insists it's to be just her and Oliver at the hospital tonight. Sarah, Paul, Todd, Kirk, and Alina decamp to Speed Daal for the team building evening. Adam is there, encountering Todd for the first time since he returned. Sean tests his new beauty products on George. Eileen feels uneasy when George compliments her. The factory crew pair up for a film quiz organised by Kirk, with Adam chiming in. Tracy smells a rat when Steve puts her off calling Leanne to see how she is. Sean charges premium rates for the beauty products. Eileen thinks he'll have a job offloading them. Todd and Alina win the film quiz after Todd answers most of the questions himself. Paul doesn't want to be there and gets drunk. Tracy finds out from Toyah that Leanne doesn't want to see anyone. Tracy thinks something must have happened. Bishop Greg Townsend informs Billy that his interview was a success. Paul arrives at the flat whilst the bishop is in the toilet and crashes out on the sofa. Steve admits that Leanne came onto him when Tracy asks him what's wrong, explaining that Leanne wasn't in her right mind. Paul doesn't believe the bishop is there and starts stripping. Emerging from the toilet, the bishop sees a half-naked Paul and beats a hasty retreat, leaving Billy wondering where he stands. Todd apologises to Adam for leaving him in the lurch three years ago. Adam says it's water under the bridge. Alina agrees to consider going out with Adam. Eileen tells Mary that George was flirting with her. Mary decides to finish with him. Tracy marches over to the hospital to see Leanne. There, she surprises Leanne by being compassionate and comforting her. She tells Leanne she's incredible for staying so strong for Oliver. Leanne admits that she's not expecting the judge to rule in their favour.
