Joyce Falconer reprises her role as Rosin McIntyre.
This week in Shieldinch.

An exposed Scarlett attempts to sabotage Stevie's first therapy session when an old foe is assigned to his case.

Maggie takes the first steps to reclaiming her life by returning to work.

Eve isolates herself on the day of Cameron’s hearing.

Bob schemes when he is impressed by a damsel in distress.


Scarlett attempts to sabotage Stevie's first therapy session after discovering his counsellor is her old foe, Roisin McIntyre.

Maggie takes first steps to return to work but quickly falters.

Bob comes to Rebecca’s rescue.

A familiar face arrives on Montego Street, as Roisin McIntyre returns.  She quickly makes an impact on the locals by ruffling Bernie's feathers and turning Sonny's head.  Meanwhile, Stevie is anxious about starting counselling.

Stevie and Scarlett bump into Roisin and the revelation she's the therapist stuns both mother and son.  Far from happy, Scarlett tries to sabotage the session but is quickly put in her place by Roisin, who demands privacy with her patient.

As Stevie tentatively opens up, the session stalls when they realise that Scarlett is eavesdropping.  A heated exchange with Roisin follows, which spills out on to the street. Unimpressed, Stevie storms off.

Elsewhere, after the turmoil of the trial, Maggie receives good news from Caitlin.  Caitlin urges her mother to make the most of her freedom.  However, Maggie's return to work at the Health Centre falters when she suffers a panic attack.

Bob comes across a broken down car and its owner - Rebecca.  Pleased to see her back in town, Bob is further impressed when Rebecca shows her knowledge about cars.  As they chat, Rebecca gets emotional about the mess her life is in.  Realising he could offer her a new start, Bob makes Rebecca a surprising proposal.

Eve struggles in the aftermath of Cameron's court hearing.  Sensing her mother's despair, Lou suggests she takes some time to herself.

The pieces finally fall into place for Nina.  As her recollection of the evening comes to an end Nina cries having remembered her last moments with Sebastian and vows to go to Weatherfield Police to tell them what happened that night.

Alone in his prison cell, Corey remembers the aftermath of the attack, how he ducked into a ginnel to change into fresh clothes from his rucksack, stuffing his blood-stained tracksuit back inside and stashing it in a hiding place before returning for it later and tossing it into the river.

Imran & Kelly prepare to go into battle against Corey & Sabeen.

Nina reconstructs the past.  On the eve of the trial, Nina is unnerved when a piece of music transports her back to the last day of Sebastian's life.  Upon hearing from Roy that fragments of Nina's memory are resurfacing, Abi gets an idea and brings to Roy's Rolls the bag of items found on Sebastian's body.  Among the various bits and bobs, Nina is struck by the sight of a plastic heart ring and remembers Sebastian giving it to her.  Nina decides to retrace her and Sebastian's steps and takes Abi, Summer and Asha with her to the wasteland where they encountered Corey and Kelly.  Across both of tonight’s episodes, in a series of specially shot reconstruction scenes, the audience are taken back to the night of Sebastian's attack and the truth about what happened is revealed to viewers and to a distraught Nina as her memory return.

Kelly & Corey prepare for the trial.

​Imran plays mind games with an over confident Sabeen with both lawyers confident their own client is telling the truth, but which one is?

Fiz finds some home comforts.  As they prepare to leave for Hope's sentencing, Tyrone drops the bombshell on Fiz and Evelyn that he is engaged to Alina.  At the Youth Court, Evelyn pours scorn on Tyrone for getting engaged by accident.  Fiz feels a fool for believing it was over between them and he was putting his family first.  Chesney informs Fiz that he and Gemma have agreed that Hope can’t visit number 5 Coronation Street until they know she is no longer a danger.  Fiz is crushed to realise Chesney views Hope as a danger to his children.  Calling at number 9 Coronation Street, Tyrone emotionally blames himself for wrecking everyone's lives then bursts into tears. Fiz is taken aback by his unhappiness.  Fiz and Tyrone crack open a bottle of prosecco. 

Sally is driving Tim crazy.  Sally pounds the pavement in pursuit of signatures in favour of resident permits for the street.  Maria is too busy to stop, while Tracy and Alya argue the move would be catastrophic for their businesses if customers can’t park nearby so refuse to sign.  Sally is frustrated.  Steve and Tracy point out to Tim that Sally's permit plan would be disastrous for Street Cars. 

Leanne makes her feelings known to Imran.  Toyah finds Imran asleep at his office desk, exhausted from working all hours on Kelly's case by himself.  Toyah insists on taking him for lunch to give him a break.  Over lunch in Viaduct Bistro, Imran bemoans the uphill battle he has defending Kelly solo, while Corey has a huge legal team behind him.  When Leanne tells Imran she’s firmly on Abi's side, not Kelly's, a stressed Imran erupts.  Toyah’s shocked and concerned.  Imran's curt with Toyah, annoyed she didn’t stick up for him with Leanne. 

Daisy's plan is exposed.  Alya is smug to see that Daisy has ditched Ryan and set her sights on Daniel.  In The Rovers, Jenny takes pity on Alya and reveals that Ryan cheating on her didn't happen the way she thinks.  Alya is intrigued. 
 
James is in a foul mood awaiting news of his appealed police complaint.  When James snaps at her, Grace tells Michael they need to start looking for a place of their own.  When Michael admits he’s only with Grace so that Glory can have parents who are together, Ronnie advises that it may not be the smartest option.
