Episode 10174 (20th November 2020)

## Plot

Carla lies that there were three men in the hotel bar she was chatting with but is vague about their details. She tells Peter that the hotel must have called her because the bar bill was in her name. Peter says he believes her. Todd follows Paul and Summer to the flat, trying to argue his case with the livid girl over his behaviour for leaving her. She refuses to listen to him. Paul promises to mediate. Adam realises his wallet is missing. Johnny is worried when he sees how fractured Carla seems. Peter misinterprets Carla's manner and apologises for causing her mood with his harsh words. He says he's willing to let her go if she wants that. Emma suggests the memory box idea to Steve. He initially doesn't think Leanne could cope with getting one together but then warms to the idea. Paul persuades Summer to cut Todd some slack. Suspicious, but saying that honesty is a good thing, Peter pushes Carla into admitting she slept with someone at the hotel but she won't name the man. He abruptly changes his stance and starts to harangue her for cheating on him. Unable to take in the revelation, he walks out. Paul takes Summer into Underworld to make up with Todd who puts on a show of gratitude for his intercession. Sarah assures a guilty Carla that she would never say anything about her having another man. Adam and Daniel are horrified to find Peter in Victoria Gardens clutching an unopened bottle of whisky. Adam is uncomfortable as he tells them that Carla has been unfaithful to him. Peter returns to the Rovers and assures a relieved Carla that he hasn't been drinking. They apologise to each other for their rash actions. She cries as she promises to help him get back on track and agrees to attend his forthcoming addiction meeting with him. Billy is delighted that everything seems fine between him, Paul, Todd and Summer. Amy loves the memory box idea. Carla and Adam throw their anger at each other for putting their relationships at risk. Adam is sure that Peter will keep digging to find who the other man was. Back at the Rovers, Peter rings the hotel unsuccessfully trying to find who the owner of the wallet was.
