Episode 10093 (27th July 2020)

## Plot

Yasmeen wakes up in hospital. Alya explains that she's had a heart attack but assures her that she's going to be fine and the trial has been postponed, giving them time to find Elaine Jones. Mary tells Cathy about the coping strategies she's employed in the lockdown which are causing conflict between her and Sean. Elaine calls into The Kabin where she hears about Yasmeen's heart attack. She questions Cathy about how much support she received from the neighbours and hears that Geoff's son Tim absolutely believes his dad's side of the story. Bernie finds a similar watch on the web and finds out that it would be worth £400 in fine condition. Sarah tells David their move to the Redbank Apartments has been delayed by a week and also about her frustration about Adam's obsession over Gary. The quarantine has set back Shona's recuperation programme. Mary gives an enthusiastic rendition of *Grazie Roma* from the upstairs window of No.11 until Sean yells at her to pack in her Italian balcony singing. Discovering that Ed's car has developed a fault, Abi tells him that Aggie can use Kevin's car to go to work until it's fixed, since the neighbourhood is hugely grateful to her for putting herself on the front line at the hospital. Ed's touched. Sarah hears about the watch and its inscription from Bernie when she tries to sell it. Hearing about the search for Elaine, Ryan's memory is triggered about the woman was who was watching Geoff and Tim. He runs after her before she can enter the tram station. She admits to her identity and he and Alya beg her to help Yasmeen. Bernie tells Brian she found the watch and has sold it for £50. Ed sets up an internet socially-distanced party for his and Aggie's wedding anniversary. Gary buys a bottle of wine as an apology to Brian and blames his PTSD. He hears about the watch. A scared Elaine tells Alya that she was married to Geoff for two years under her real name of Philippa and changed it after the divorce. She is reluctant to meet Imran, saying how impossible it was to see her grown-up son again after so many years. A stunned Alya realises she means Tim, who she had to leave behind to escape the abuse. Apologising profusely, Elaine runs off saying she can't help. Gary questions Bernie about the watch and hears that Sarah was the purchaser. In No.8, Sarah contemplates the meaning of the inscription.
