This moving episode begins with despondent Katy holed up inside the Harris household.

She has clearly come back with suicidal thoughts, as she can’t handle the horrendous guilt she is harbouring after killing her dad. She smashes her insulin cartridges and gets out a bag of sugar, knowing that this lethal combination could kill her. But will she go through with suicide, or will she be found before it is too late?

Over at the Platts’, Gail tries to boost Martin’s spirits by suggesting that it would be good for him to wake up in a house full of people, instead of his lonely flat. He agrees and feels much better the following day when he wakes up to the sound of his children. Later on, he explains to Sarah and Scooter that he was feeling very low which is why he stayed over. But they are disturbed by loud music belting out from next door. They all race round to the Harrises’ house as they know that the house should be empty. Will they find an unconscious Katy?

Things don’t look good for poor Katy as she is whisked straight to intensive care, and a nurse warns Martin that she may have brain damage. He informs the nurse where Katy’s mum is and as soon as Angela is told by the prison governor, she is hysterical with worry and demands to see her daughter. Martin, devastated at what his ex-lover has done, tries to be optimistic and to be respectful to her, and decides not to open the suicide letter until she recovers.

In the Rovers, Jamie, Warren, Leanne and Candice settle down for a drink. Warren excitedly tells them all that his manager has spotted two premiership football scouts watching him train. Leanne ridicules this, and slates Candice by suggesting that if he ever does make it big time he won’t want her tagging along!

Angela is horrified and Martin demands some answers. But there is more worry when Craig arrives at number six desperately banging on the door and shouting for his sister. Gail and Audrey rush outside to see the traumatised teenager, and gently tell him that his sister is seriously ill in hospital.

And at the Barlows’, Tracy is having problems assembling Ray’s flat-packed coffin. Blanche and Liz agree that it looks a bit ghoulish but Tracy insists that it is what her father wanted as it is cost effective. Later on, Tracy goes to the Kabin in search of plasters and finds Steve. He isn’t too keen on helping her with the coffin but suggests Charlie could help.

Ashley is scathing about Fred’s chances of success and thinks his water bottling venture has more to do with getting closer to Audrey. But Fred insists the water is pure and drinks some to prove it!
