David went mental and cracked, punching Nick. He admitted it all, all his tricks. But it was an awful betrayal, one brother sleeping the other's wife. David is still determined not to tell Kylie that he knows but Nick wants it in the open. Some remarkable scenes there. Tragedy then strikes a deadly blow thanks to David grabbing the wheel. They got out of that one safely but were run into by a very large truck (lorry). It all seemed to happen in slow motion, didn't it?
And it seemed to take a very long time for help to be called. That Driver would have been out of that vehicle in an instant yet it seemed to be a long longer. OH gosh then Nick's heart stopped en route! What about David? Stressed to the max and he's not having a seizure? Never mind. And there's no need of everyone telling Nick to wake up, because he's in a medically induced coma.
Remember, Nick out and out lied to Leanne when she confronted him even though she said she could take the truth. Now he's in a coma. How much do you want to bet if and when he comes out of it, he forgets everything. Of course David feels guilty and now he realizes he loves his brother. So he should, and all! Everone's on a vigil and Leanne's barely holding it together especially thinking one of her multiple phone calls could have distracted Nick.
Tina wasted no time grilling David and and she's realized that Nick is the one Kylie slept with. It all makes sense now, doesn't it? She thinks David wanted Nick dead. He didn't but obviously it was a result of the argument with David. Now he knows Tina was the one that clued Nick in, he can focus his anger at her, I suppose. In his mind, it will absolve what he did because he can blame her. Meanwhile the police have found more witnesses to the accident and David's face showed contained panic. Will anyone have seen them struggle? Will David come out of it smelling of roses as usual?
Leanne's getting nowhere with the cops and now she finds out that it's possible if Nick recovers he'll never be the same. They don't know what kind of damage there might be, brain damage, that is. Memory, concentration, speech, or maybe physical issues like coordination. Then there could be depression, mood swings. They just don't know at this point. Leanne isn't taking it well. "Wait and See" is going to be difficult.
Stella has managed to get home and has stuck her two cents into the hospital room which looks more like a can of sardines for the amount of people squashed into it.
Izzy reckons she'll just go back full time and let Gary stay home full time. That turned Owen's mind around quick enough. Looks like Gary has settled down with the baby at least. Relaxed a bit more and gained a little confidence. And talking about a party for the baby's homecoming in front of Tina? How insensitive is that? And Gary continues to be a nob. Gloria is jumping on the insensitive wagon too, offering the pub for the party instead of the Bistro. Really, though, all Tina has to do is ask for that night off but you know she won't because there's no potential drama in that. Surprisingly, though, Tommy got Gloria to see sense and offer Tina that night off.
The welcome home baby Jake party was awful for her! I thought Gloria said she could have the night off but she says she's going to be there and she's in the pub while they're decorating. Yes, that helps her mood. She seems to be coping with the party underfoot though has to be nearly forced to get into the group photo. She's distracted but doing her best. Her best, that is, until Tracy comes in and tries to barge into the party to take advantage of the free wine and injects typical sarcastic remarks about Tina liable to walk off with the baby. Even Deirdre thinks that was out of order. Matters aren't helped by a public speech from Granddad Owen. You can see Tina's nerves being shredded little by little, especially when Owen heaps praise on Tina herself. Izzy also thanks her father for bankrolling it.
Everyone's smiling except Rita, Tommy and Dennis who know how Tina's feeling. Tommy tries to fuss over her which makes her even moodier and she snaps his head off. Tracy starts in again, bringing up the money aspect though, to her credit, Deirdre points out Tracy tried to sell her child. Doesn't faze Tracy one bit and she pokes a bigger stick at Tina for not having any child at all to show for it. Everyone else has a go at Tracy but Tina finally snaps. She shouts at everyone for fussing and treating her like a fragile thing and at Owen for his gratitude and she tosses a drink on Tracy. She grabs a bottle of vodka from the bar and runs out and nobody can stop her.
Oh i laughed at Kirk, when he found the paper boy in the closet and was freaked out when it was found staring back out of the wardrobe at him. Craig is not going to prove to be a stellar paperboy replacement for the one Norris took a strop against. And judging from the weight of that paper bag, it must be illegal to make children something that heavy! It would be pretty heavy for an adult! He's about as interested in it as you would expect. The papers never got delivered and i had guessed he'd just left the bag somewhere and didn't bother. Beth is worried about her "delicate" Craig, who hasn't been himself the last few months. Kirk thinks it's his presence in the lad's life, bless 'im.
Julie's back and she's very glad of it too. She's got a lot of gossip to catch up on. Julie suggests Craig's problem could be drugs and Sally thinks he could be struggling with his sexuality. Neither helps Beth's mood. She confronts Craig and searches him. All she finds is a bag of humbugs. He won't say what's bothering him and runs off. In the pub later, Deirdre blames kids turning out bad on their fathers, because they're men, aren't they? Sean offers advice but Beth still feels like a rubbish mother. Kirk is brilliant cheering her up a bit but she's intent on searching his room next.
Mandy's turning into a bitter and petulant character and she's taking it out on Lloyd. It's non stop sour bickering with her. I bet he's wondering how she managed to change so much over 30 years. Nothing Lloyd suggests seems to make her happy. Now he's heard her say he has no ambition. It's really hurt Lloyd too and he's coming to the inevitable realization that he and Mandy aren't really suited after all. And Mandy knows it too and she's leaving him and Weatherfield. Aw, I liked her but they never really knew what to do with her.
I love that they're doing all these little scenes about nothing between Steve, Eileen and Lloyd in the cab office that they're giving us again.
Sally's dating another fella from an online site but she fancies the pants off Tim. Faye doesn't seem to be speaking to Tim. I thought he was leaving? Why is he still here? To go have coffee with Sally, it seems. I guess he's still planning to go to Newcastle but it looks very much like he fancies Sally, too.
Peter for some reason, is worried Rob's going to use Tracy and hurt her so he's pushing Tracy into pushing Rob into a committment, figuring Rob will run the other way. He certainly hedged his bets and didn't really let her down that gently. It makes Peter's suggestion that Rob is using her look bang on. We know it's true but now Tracy suspects it, too and Rob tore a strip off Peter for "interfering". Carla's still in the middle. He's still her brother and though she's had him up to there, there is still sibling stuff there. Carla is willing to let Rob and Tracy implode, both in business and in relationship.
Peter worries about Amy, fair enough, but he worries who's going to help Tracy put her life back together? He never really seemed to care about that before. Rob put a good spin on it, though, wait for them to be stronger, he's nervous of interacting with a child, she might agree for now but the seed has been planted. She isn't about to give up though.
It didn't take too long for Norris to get his nose into the new shop for an insult or two. Steve added a few to the mix too before Tracy tried to soften him up to spend more time with Amy. If she can farm Amy off more, she'll be able to move in with Rob. 4 with Steve and 3 with Deirdre, sorted. Except Rob still isn't having her in there full time. A shag is ok, but don't get your mail delivered there.
