Episode 10130 (30th September 2020)

## Plot

Michael has a go at who he assumes is Grace's new boyfriend outside the police station, but his words only elicit a confused stare. Sarah arrives at the solicitors' office ready to talk and interrupts a lovemaking session between Adam and an ex, Naomi. Carla offers Nina a temporary job at the factory. Nina eagerly accepts. Michael tells the police that he was only trying to stop Grace from taking his daughter away. He's left puzzled when the detective suspends the interview and has a doctor perform a mental health assessment on him. Steve organises a quick cash sale of Street Cars and Preston's Petals. Tracy masks her discomfort over how much they're sacrificing for Oliver. Sarah is glad she caught Adam at it as it's showed her that she's better off without him, while Carla's furious on her friend's behalf. The police inform Michael that Grace isn't Tianna's mother, but her nanny. He also learns that Tianna's real father, Jayden Powell, was the man from earlier and that he and his wife have dropped the abduction charge now that they have their daughter back. A shell-shocked Michael is released, catching sight of Tianna with her true parents on the way out. Carla tells Adam he's vile and weak and doesn't deserve Sarah. Adam insists he loves his wife and accuses Carla of projecting her guilt for giving Sarah false hope onto him. When he advises her to sort out her own barren relationship before meddling with other people's, she throws a stapler at him. Daniel is forced to face Geoff to ask for his bank details to transfer the £5,000. Geoff enjoys hearing the lad apologise for the theft. Grace can't be found. The Baileys wonder why she pretended that Tianna was hers and Michael's. Daniel picks the wrong moment to complain about Geoff to Adam and is told to grow up by his bad-tempered nephew. Carla returns home to flowers and an apology from Peter. She leads him up to the bedroom. Michael wants to know what happened to the child Grace was pregnant with before they split up. Not allowed to have contact with Tianna, he feels like he's in mourning.
