Bobby’s face pales as he receives a call summoning him to the station for further questioning.

In the prison, Roy refuses his breakfast and refuses to leave his cell.

DS Swain gives a shaken Bobby a grilling and reminds him that perverting the course of justice is a serious offence and carries a custodial sentence. Bobby returns home and tells Carla how under pressure, he made out to DS Swain that the intruder in Lauren’s flat was wearing a balaclava and a dark coat with a fur-trimmed hood.

Bobby reveals that he has changed his statement as he suddenly remembered seeing a man running out of Lauren’s flat. Cassie, Evelyn and Nina listen with interest.

Cassie tells Evelyn and Nina that not long after Lauren’s disappearance, she remembers seeing a coat in the charity shop fitting the description Bobby gave. Evelyn and Cassie return from the charity shop and tell Nina that the coat has gone but there were some other clothes that came in with it and one of the jumpers has a name tag.

DS Swain calls at the builder’s yard flat and tells Daniel she’d like him to come with her as there’s been a development in the Lauren Bolton case. Has Bobby unknowingly accused Daniel?

Meanwhile, Alya tells Yasmeen that she has decided to accept the job offer from Rich. In the solicitors, Adam and Dee-Dee struggle without Alya to organise them. Rich takes Alya for lunch in the Bistro, congratulates her on such a successful morning and tells her that she’s exactly what Fabian’s needs and she’ll go far.

Adam receives an email from his biggest client informing him that they’re transferring their work to Fabian’s. How will Adam react to Alya poaching their business?

Elsewhere, having borrowed the Underworld van, Kirk helps Sean and Dylan move their stuff out of No.11 and offers to drop Dylan and Liam at school.

In the café, Mary tells Eileen that having called at Sean’s new flat, it’s clear that they’re very short of furniture and the place is desperate for a facelift. As Sean moves the last of his things out of No.11, Mary hands him a house-warming gift in the shape of a candle.

Also today, in The Rovers, Joel opens up to Dee-Dee and reveals that Emily has been in touch and she’d like him to meet Maeve, his daughter.
