Episode 10345 (7th June 2021)

## Plot

**Part One:** Johnny offers Jenny first refusal on the Rovers. She doesn't have the money and refuses to ask Rita to bail her out yet again. Gemma finds Peter in a bad way outside the bistro and helps him inside before ringing Daniel. In court, Abi and Nina look on with disgust as Corey's defence barrister paints her client as a model citizen. They're appalled when he is granted bail. Fiz and Gemma have a virtual catch-up with Izzy. Sarah offers Fiz the machinist position. Fiz is happy to return to the factory. She's taken aback to learn that it was Alina's idea to ask her. Daniel and Adam get Peter to hospital in time. Peter gives his brother and nephew a pep talk in case he doesn't survive the operation. Cerberus continues to favour Bernie over Evelyn. Bernie pretends to leave No.9 and catches Evelyn playing with the greyhound on her bad ankle. Fiz thinks Alina had an ulterior motive in getting her another job. They're arguing about in the salon flat when Fiz spots Hope wearing makeup and false eyelashes. She's furious to discover the eyelashes are glued on. Tyrone defends Alina before turning on her after Fiz leaves with the girls.

**Part Two:** Alina tells Tyrone they shouldn't fight as it's what Fiz wants. After hashing it out, they head off to the bedroom for making up sex. Bernie reveals to Dev that she had dog treats in her pockets to attract Cerberus; she wanted to make Evelyn think he'd switched loyalties. Peter is taken into the operating theatre. The bank refuses to give Jenny a loan to buy the Rovers. She's ready to throw in the towel. Daisy offers her a lifeline by getting Ronnie to propose a business partnership. Jenny thinks Ronnie wants to get into her bed and turns him down. Abi realises that getting justice for Seb isn't going to be easy with Stefan Brent trying to buy his son's freedom. Peter receives his new liver.
