Episode 10162 (6th November 2020)

## Plot

Gail tries to protect Nick by saying that she was guessing, and her words don't reflect Nick's true feelings. As Leanne lays into her, Nick cuts in to say that Gail was telling the truth. Dev promises the twins he'll do better in future and at their request, he agrees to set the wheels in motion for moving them back to Weatherfield High, thus solving his financial woes. Dev makes a further gesture by inviting Corey round for dinner. Nick argues that the right thing for Oliver might be to let him go. Leanne sees it as a betrayal and forbids him from seeing Oliver. Sean worries that he has nothing to offer Dylan. Dev warms to Corey when he finds out that his dad is a golfer. No.4 is valued at £145,000. Sally asks Debbie why Geoff is saying she provoked him. She admits she may have exaggerated a bit. Leanne lumps Nick in with the doctors who have given up on Oliver. Nick begs her to admit that deep down, she knows it's over. Corey asks Asha if they can spend more quality time together now that she's on the pill. Michael doesn't tell James that he's seen Grace and asks his brother not to tell their parents that she's been in touch. Simon puts the Dictaphone back for Wendy Caple to find. Gail makes sure Nick and Leanne don't get into trouble by reminding Wendy that her carelessness could have a cost. Sean decides to change his life and become someone that Dylan can look up to. The Metcalfes receive an offer of the full asking price for No.4. Sally's thrilled as the house hasn't even been listed yet. Expecting the offers to come flooding in, she decides to hold out for more, ignoring Debbie's advice to grab the offer while it's going. Faye tells Craig he's the best mate she's ever had and asks him out. He eagerly accepts. Debbie reprimands Ray for pouncing on No.4 too quickly. Leanne thinks Nick doesn't care about Oliver now that he has Sam in his life, noting that he changed the moment he met his son. She questions their future together.
