Episode 10134 (5th October 2020)

## Plot

Determined to fight their corner, Leanne contacts Imran. Faye is in tears fearing that she's ruined the wedding plans now that Geoff knows about them. Tim and Sally have to placate her. Nick tells Tracy of the developments with Oliver. Tracy voices her private opinion to him that they should just accept they have reached the end of the line. Jayden Powell visits the Baileys, asking that they have no further contact with Tianna so as not to confuse the little girl. Michael reluctantly agrees. Nick and Tracy hear with concern that Imran has found a specialist barrister who will cost them thousands to pursue Oliver's case. Paul returns from his training, saying he found the roleplay exercises mirrored his own experiences with Kel and he's unsure about continuing. Billy, having changed his own mind, encourages him to continue. Tracy intercepts a call for Steve from agent Roxy Hackland for an update on the sale of Street Cars and Preston's Petals. She tells her things have changed and they're pulling out of the deal but doesn't advise Steve of her actions. Tim refuses to reschedule the wedding and decides to ask his dad to stay away. Returning home, Steve sees that Tracy hasn't posted off the contracts. A determined Eileen summons Billy and Sean to No.11, demanding to know what's going on with Todd. Billy tells her how they hired a private detective who found out that Todd and his friend Safia ripped off a local gangster and now Todd has gone to ground. Tracy tells Steve of her concerns and says he and Leanne are not being realistic about their chances. She puts her foot down and refuses to sell the florists. At the hospital, Nick gives Leanne his full support. Their words getting acrimonious, Steve suggests Tracy pulls the plug on Oliver herself, just to satisfy her own financial needs, but she stands her ground, saying that he is ruining all their futures on a court case he cannot win. Nick rings Sam to say he will meet him on Saddleworth Moor. Geoff turns up at Speed Daal, swapping insults with Ryan and Alya. He is unaware that Tim has followed him into the premises and is shocked to overhear what he has said to the couple. He asks his father to stay away from his nuptials and Geoff almost provokes him into fighting him. Steve returns to Oliver's bedside, not telling Leanne what has happened. He sadly reads his unconscious son a bedtime story.
