Leanne is in denial.  The medical consultant reveals to Steve and Leanne that Oliver has an incurable form of Mitochondrial Disease.  Steve and Leanne do their best to compute the terrible news.  Clearly in a state of shock, Leanne demands a second opinion, determined that there must be something they can do for Oliver.  Back at home the family reel with shock at the news.

Toyah's plans are put on hold.  A thrilled Toyah and Imran are told by the social workers that they have a good chance of being accepted as Foster parents and they excitedly plan for the panel hearing.  But as news of Oliver's diagnosis reches Toyah she has to break the news to Imran that they will have to put their own plans on hold.

Meanwhile, Fiz is aghast to find Tyrone asleep in front of the TV in his vest.  As she nags him to tidy up, Fiz realises with horror that they are turning into Jack and Vera.  Amused, Tyrone suggests a romantic dinner tomorrow night.

Elsewhere, Sebastian is caught between two women.  With Alina's assistance, Emma finally manages to free her hand from the glass vase.  Emma is desperately upset about the news regarding Oliver's diagnosis and Alina does her best to comfort her.  Alina phones Sebastian to cancel their drink, insisting she's not happy sneaking about behind Emma's back and would appreciate it if he didn't ask her out again.

David and Shona start again.  David decides to ask Shona out for something to eat but she panics in The Bistro and says she would much rather go to the chippie.  David is amused when she steals Ray's wallet and explains that is how they met. 

Old McDonalds go to a farm.  Leanne, Nick, Steve, Tracy, Simon, Emma and Amy take Oliver to the petting zoo.  Leanne does her best to relax but she can't take her eyes off her son.  When Oliver spots some cows, he makes a mooing noise and starts laughing, Leanne is utterly thrilled to see a flash of the old Oliver.

Carla quizzes Peter.  Carla shows Peter a copy of The Weatherfield Gazette headline and accuses him of beating up Jordan and Chelsey.  Peter is offended and vehemently denies any involvement.  This leaves Carla perplexed.  In The Rovers, Ken raises a toast in commemoration of V.E Day.  Having calmed down, Peter assures Carla that he was at an alcoholics’ meeting at the time of the assault so it had nothing to do with him.  Who did attack them? 

Meanwhile, Sebastian and Alina admit they still have feelings for each other but Alina insists they can only be friends so as not to upset Emma.

Elsewhere, Daniel finds a release.  Clearly on edge, Daniel tells Nicky that it was a mistake and he shouldn’t have called her.  Daniel opens up to Nicky and tells her all about Sinead, how much he loved her, how much he misses her and how lonely his life has become.

Introducing Scot Williams as Aaron Faraday
Aaron Faraday will be Shona Platt's new Support Worker.
Shona makes a move on the wrong man.  Shona’s care worker, Aaron, brings her to Roy's flat where she meets Nina.  Aaron explains to Roy that Shona will need routine.  David soon arrives with some magazines. 

Leanne learns to let go of the reins.  Steve and Tracy visit Leanne & Nick's to see how Oliver is.  Tracy persuades a reluctant Leanne that they should have a family day out at the petting zoo as it would do Oliver good.

Carla makes a shocking discovery.  Carla sets about decorating The Rovers for V.E. Day and thanks Scott for coming to her rescue by chucking Jordan and Chelsey out of the pub.  Scott reckons it’s Abi she should really be giving appreciation to.  Carla calls at the garage with a bottle of wine for Abi and thanks her for fighting her corner.  Abi reveals that she too has a past she’d rather forget and she’s glad she could help.  As Carla heads out she spots the headline on the Weatherfield Gazette about the assault on the Brightwell Estate.  She wonders if the victims were Jordan and Chelsey.

Meanwhile, Daniel seeks comfort with a stranger.  Daniel is feeling guilty about his night with Nicky and lies to Adam that they went their separate ways.  Adam is concerned when he hears Daniel was buying lager which has a strong alcohol level in the corner shop.  Daniel heads to a hotel where he meets Nicky.

Elsewhere, Sebastian plucks up the courage to tell Alina that he still has feelings for her but the moment is broken by the arrival of Emma.

Carla is reminded of a grim time in her past.  Carla finds Chelsey lurking in the back of The Rovers and offers to buy her breakfast in Roy's Rolls.  But later Chesley returns to the pub with a guy named Jordan who reminds Carls that he ran the squat and she had better pay up for the drugs she destroyed.  Peter finds an upset Carla in the back room with Jordan and demands to know what is going on.

Adam and Peter clean up Daniel's act.  Adam decides it is time for Daniel to get out and about and insists he goes with him to a swanky lawyers’ drinks reception in town.  Daniel reluctantly goes and feels out of his depth but is intrigued by a female guest called Nicky who tries to put him at ease.

Meanwhile, David dares to dream when he's getting Shona back.  When Roy reveals that Shona has been assigned a new support worker and should be discharged from the rehabilitation centre very soon, David is filled with optimism.  Roy returns from a meeting with Shona’s key worker and confirms that Shona will be moving in tomorrow.  David is thrilled whilst Roy is concerned that he’s getting his hopes up.

Elsewhere, when Geoff lets slip that Sally wanted him out of the house because she's chosen to take Yasmeen’s side, Faye is incredulous and vows to have it out with her Dad.  Later, an angry Faye confronts Tim and Sally on the street over their decision to throw Geoff out.
