Nina and Asha fail to get it in the bag. Sean offers to help Asha and Nina find Stu by introducing them to his homeless friend Dudley. He suggests that they go and speak to some of the hopeless people by the riverbank but is furious when she sees them going through Stu's belongings. Corey reluctantly agrees to get him the money. As Asha and Nina head home, they spot Stu, then Nina bites the bullet and tells Stu they need his help.

Tez is gunning for Abi. Abi hands Roy wedding invitations for he and Nina and asserts that her wedding is a new beginning and a chance to put the past to bed. Roy is pleased to see her so positive. Tez visits number 13 Coronation Street and tells Abi he needs the gun back. When Abi reveals that the gun has gone missing, Tez is furious.

Zeedan feels the pressure. With Alya out of the way, Zeedan takes the opportunity to launder some of Hashim's cash through the Speed Daal cash register. Hashim meets up with Zeedan in the ginnel and, handing him another bag of cash, tells him he's got a month to push it through the books. Zeedan's heart sinks.

Curtis needs cash for answers. In the salon flat, Curtis runs his hand through his hair and a clump falls out. When Curtis reveals that it is another side effect of his illness, Emma is heartbroken for him. Emma confides in Steve how worried she is about Curtis' condition and wonders if he would lend her the money from Oliver's fund to allow him to see a private consultant.

Asha and Nina bag up the evidence. Nina explains to Stu how Corey's backpack could prove he killed Sebastian. But Stu is adamant he doesn't want to get involved and hurries away leaving the girls bitterly disappointed.

Nina takes Asha's hand and tells her she is ready to give their relationship another go if she is willing to have her back. Asha is thrilled.

Abi's problems keep popping back up. Tez orders Abi to find the gun or she'll regret it. As Tez makes to leave, Kevin returns home and wants to know what’s going on. Abi elies that Tez blames her poor parenting for Sebastian's death. Kevin is incensed on Abi's behalf. Meanwhile, Abi is unaware that Jack found the letter she wrote for Kevin.

Ryan is suspicious of Zeedan. His equipment all wrecked from the night of the storm, a morose Ryan reckons his DJ career is over. When Alya offers him some shifts at Speed Daal, Ryan is grateful. As Zeedan launders Hashim's dodgy cash through the Speed Daal till, Alya remains oblivious. As Ryan heads to Speed Daal, he notices Zeedan involved in a heated exchange with Hashim. When Ryan questions him, Zeedan refuses to be drawn, leaving Ryan suspicious.

Steve gently explains that he can't release Oliver's funds for Curtis as people handed over their money in good faith and it would be illegal. Emma's deflated.
