Episode 10249 (15th February 2021)

## Plot

**Part One:** Kevin and Debbie are still alive after a night in the fridge. Remembering a tip from Robert when he and Michelle were trapped there, Kevin uses Debbie's eyebrow pencil to sabotage the fan. Leanne calls into Crystal Webber's show again but doesn't tell Simon. Craig informs the Metcalfes and Abi that Ray has been arrested. Billy tries to work out a new seating plan for St. Mary's to improve disabled access but is restricted by the church pews. Abi looks for Debbie to ask her why she lied about killing Ray.

**Part Two:** Fiz visits Gary to inform him about the furniture being stolen. Kevin hears Abi knocking on the bistro's front door and cries for help, to no avail. Still optimistic that they'll be rescued, he exercises to stop hypothermia from setting in and makes Debbie do the same, though she's far more pessimistic. Simon comes home and finds Leanne asleep on the sofa with Crystal's show playing on the TV. Fiz tells Tyrone that Gary didn't sack her but they have to pay back every penny he lost them, which comes to £600. The psychiatrist tells Johnny he has Charles Bonnet syndrome. He's assured that his problem is physical, not mental, and the hallucinations will stop if his eye medication works. Todd advises Billy to sell the pews and use folding chairs instead, as the pews are valuable. As Fiz and Evelyn row over the furniture, Tyrone suddenly keels over in pain. In the fridge, Kevin and Debbie have a heart-to-heart but they're quickly arguing again with Kevin telling his sister that their mother would be ashamed of what she's become. Abi is stunned to receive a call from Chesney letting her know that Kevin never turned up at Jack's camp.

## Notes

* Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, this episode was made with social distancing rules being observed by both cast and production crew, even when they were playing family members or people who shared residences. For scenes in which Kevin and Debbie Webster huddle together inside the Viaduct Bistro fridge, actors Michael Le Vell and Sue Devaney were required to form a bubble prior to filming to allow closer contact [1].
* Kevin Webster speaks of the time Robert Preston and Michelle Connor were trapped in the bistro fridge, referencing events in Episode 9499 (4th July 2018).
* *TV Times* synopsis: Abi remains oblivious to Kevin's fate; Tyrone's recent blunder causes heartache; and Johnny receives a diagnosis.
