Episode 10094 (29th July 2020)

## Plot

It's the Baileys' thirtieth wedding anniversary and Ed's disappointed to miss out on breakfast with Aggie who's already set off early for work. Michael warns Ed that a surprise online party might not be such a good idea after his mum's hard day at work, but Ed won't be deterred. David tries to find out from Adam why he's risking his relationship with Sarah over Gary. Gary bungs Bernie a wad of cash and makes out he wants the watch back for his dad's birthday, employing her to do her best to buy it back from Sarah. Yasmeen recovers slowly. Elaine rings up Alya for an update, feeling guilty if she dies. Elaine confirms that she's prepared to give evidence against Geoff and do everything she can to help Yasmeen. Alya's overcome with gratitude. Ed buys drinks and orders a buffet from the Rovers for the party. Bernie does her best to cajole Sarah into selling the watch and offers her double what she paid for it. Sarah refuses when she realises it is Gary who wants it. Elaine calls into Street Cars where Tim is on the switch. She stutters out who she is to her disbelieving son. He throws her out of the office and Alya and Ryan stood nearby, realise what's just happened. Alya begs Tim to listen to Elaine but he refuses. Elaine loses her nerve and runs off, scared of what will happen when Geoff finds out that she's returned. Jenny brings the buffet round to No.3. Aggie phones from the hospital to explain that, due to a colleague displaying Covid symptoms, she has to isolate at a hotel for a while. Ed's gutted. Sarah confronts Gary about the watch, asking about Rick, asking if he killed him and if he is buried in Beacon Woods. She sees spades in the back of his van and realises that he has been back to the scene of the crime. He tells her that he did everything he did to protect her from Rick. Tim asks a shocked Geoff who Elaine is. A scared Sarah tells Gary his whole life is a series of lies. She starts to dial 999 and runs off. Gary chases after her as she runs away into the path of a car. Gary pushes her out of the way and is hit by the car.
