Episode 10392 (2nd August 2021)

## Plot

**Part One:** Emma agrees to move out of the salon flat so that Hope and Ruby can have her room. Tyrone invites their friends out for drinks the Chariot Square Hotel to show Alina that they're well-liked in the street. Todd is sore after a night on the sofa at the funeral parlour. He watches from afar as Summer arrives home from hospital. Hope is cheered up when Tyrone takes her out for the day, even giving him a toy dinosaur for the baby. Alina suffers from stomach pains at work and goes to hospital to check that the baby is okay, at Fiz's recommendation. Hope is furious when Tyrone cancels their plans to go with her.

**Part Two:** To their relief, the sonographer finds a strong heartbeat. DS Mitchell tells James and Michael that, based on the bodycam footage, there's no indication that PC Brody used excessive force in the arrest. They explain that she's missing the point but they're told that the matter won't be taken any further. Izzy hears Kirk mention that he's delivering the Jo Lafoe order during a call with Sarah and is confused as he hasn't been to collect her output yet. Sarah lies that there are two loads in the order. Tyrone and Alina are told that they're probably having a boy. Tyrone is especially excited, after raising two girls. Hope hears them talking about it and gets the idea that Tyrone never wanted girls and will love the child more than her. Eileen refuses to keep Todd updated on Summer, telling her son that he doesn't get to care after what he did. George urges her to cut him some slack. Hope demands that Fiz take her dinosaur back as she doesn't want the baby to have it anymore. When Fiz refuses, Hope takes Alina's flat keys without anyone noticing. James tries to find out what Craig told Mitchell to have the case dropped. Craig reminds him that he didn't witness the arrest but gets flustered when James asks if he reported the fact that he wasn't driving erratically. Hope tells Fiz that she hates Tyrone, Alina and the baby.
