Episode 10245 (10th February 2021)

## Plot

**Part One:** Kevin asks Abi why she is so stressed and why she is leaving the house so early without him. Knowing that Carla is visiting Johnny later, Jenny implores her to find out how he really is and not to let him fob her off as she's genuinely worried about him. She guesses that he'll be thinking about Aidan after Joe's death. Tyrone and Fiz bicker about Alina leaving when Fiz continues to find her a godsend with the girls. Abi calls in the bistro and suggests to Debbie that they should tell Kevin the truth about Ray as he's clearly suspicious, but Debbie won't hear of it. Having moved back into No.8, but with little furniture to her name, Gail discusses Ted's funeral arrangements with George. Johnny has another hallucination and sees something that startles him. When Kevin and Abi spot Mick Chaney lurking outside the bistro looking for Ray, Kevin tells him to speak to Debbie as she now runs the business. Abi tells him that he's done the wrong thing. Carla visits Johnny and quizzes him about his health. Kevin pushes Abi into telling him why she is so protective of his sister.

**Part Two:** Abi tells Kevin how it was Debbie who called an ambulance and saved her life, but in self-defence ended up killing Ray. David snipes at Gail and Audrey in the street. His mother asks if they can talk matters through, but he refuses. Johnny reluctantly admits that his eyesight has deteriorated to the point where he's hallucinating. Kevin is astounded, warning Abi she could be done for accessory to murder. A downbeat Alina calls at the garage and returns her key to Tyrone. When she explains how she was turned down for a job that morning, Tyrone suggests she should take up beauty therapy again. Alina's not keen and Tyrone wonders if he's said the wrong thing. Gail confesses to Audrey that she would love to have her family living with her again. Johnny admits he thought he saw Aidan and wonders if he's losing his marbles. Carla's deeply concerned. Kevin visits Debbie and tells her that she must go to the police and if she won't, he will.
