## Plot

**Part One:** Sam gives Sharon the lowdown on Leanne's work as a police mole, explaining that she, Nick and Simon are in hiding. A loved-up Peter and Carla find Steve's embarrassment amusing. Sharon offers to set up a secret meeting for Sam with Nick. As Mary and then Kelly call at the flat, Corey grows weary of Asha's guests. Sarah is stood up at the Red Rec. Adam tells her she shouldn't have gone as it might not have been Nick who texted her. Sarah worries that something's happened to him. Carla reveals to Peter that she's taken out the lease on the Street Cars flat. Natasha is held up in London so Sam stays overnight at No.8. Peter gets a call from the transplant centre informing him that they've found a liver for him and the operation is tomorrow.

**Part Two:** Having sent the message from "Nick", Sharon listens keenly to a voicemail from a panicked Sarah sent in reply. Asha thanks Corey for a lovely day and admits she has never been happier. Kevin apologises to Tyrone for dismissing his ideas out of hand and offers to meet him halfway, starting off at the Rovers and going to the ice bar later. Tyrone is mollified. Sarah thinks Sharon must be lonely to be hanging about with Sam all day. Sam tells Sharon that Nick refused to return as it's too dangerous. George has to offer to do the funeral for free to placate Martin. Todd thinks he was always after a freebie but George tells him he's fired as his conduct is unethical. Tyrone asks Abi to invite Alina to the hen do. She and Kevin are annoyed as he takes it for granted that Alina is invited to the wedding. Sharon reports back to Harvey, saying she's close to luring Nick back to Weatherfield. She tells him that whatever happens, Sam is not to be hurt, but he kills the call.
