Anonymous phone calls and a bouquet of flowers frighten the Barlows.

Amy's birthday is derailed by an intruder at Number 1 Coronation Street.

Kelly's behaviour gives Gary cause for concern.

Adam's harasser targets Sarah. Adam covers when he receives another anonymous phone call and assures Sarah they have heard the last of Jeremy. Adam confides in Imran about the calls but ignores his advice to report them. Sarah and Gail are taken aback to find a large bouquet of flowers in a vase. Sarah is thrilled by Adam’s gesture but later Adam is baffled when Sarah thanks him for the flowers. Fishing out the card, they are aghast to read the threat "next bouquet will be for your funeral". Sarah and Adam deduce that, because the flat door was deadlocked, whoever left the flowers could still be there.

Amy's mystery man is unmasked. Amy reaches her eighteenth birthday and Steve, Tracy, Emma and Carla set up Viaduct Bistro for Amy's surprise party. Steve and Tracy nip home to number 1 Coronation Street for a candle for the cake. Finding the chain on the front door, they spot someone inside through the letterbox. Steve races round the corner and, intercepting the intruder's escape, tackles him to the ground in Rosamund Street. Steve and Tracy are shocked when his hood drops to reveal Jacob.

Gary and Maria fear for Kelly. Kelly feigns illness in front of Gary and Maria in order to skip school. Kirk reveals to Gary that he saw Kelly out and about late last night and recalling Kelly felt rough earlier, Gary and Maria fear Kelly is back on drugs.
