Fiz and Tyrone can't abandon all hope.  Fiz and Tyrone take Hope to the police station.  Evelyn acts as Hope's appropriate adult as DS Abney gently questions her about the difference between right and wrong.  Hope explains how she used the nail polish remover and the candle to set light to the cot but she never meant to harm anyone.  Hope's solicitor reveals she will be charged after admitting to starting the fire.  Fiz and Tyrone reel to hear that she could face a trial.

Daisy goes after what she wants.  Daisy collars Daniel and, in a bid to justify her Byron faux pas, pretends she's always wanted to be an English teacher.  Daniel drops off some teaching books for Daisy with Ryan in The Rovers.  Ryan wonders why Daisy never mentioned to him her dream of being a teacher but told Daniel.  Accusing him of jealousy, Daisy flounces out.  As Adam changes a battery in Bertie's toy, Daniel arrives to collect him.  Sarah notices the old battery has vanished and, fearing Bertie swallowed it, Daniel scoops him up to take him to a local medical facility to be evaluated.  In the street, a passing Daisy offers to administer first aid, but Daniel barks at her to get out of the way and rushes off.

Nick struggles to keep the peace.  Nick admits to Leanne he is concerned that she and Debbie will clash working together at Viaduct Bistro.  Affronted by his implied sexism, Leanne insists women can be professional.  But will Nick be proved right? 

Meanwhile, Adam and Sarah mind Bertie for Daniel and take him for lunch in Viaduct Bistro.  Watching Adam effortlessly entertaining his cousin prompts Sarah to declare she's willing to consider having a baby.  Adam is surprised and delighted. 

​Elsewhere, Aggie offers to help Sally with her parking campaign, but soon regrets it when Sally plonks a hefty pile of paperwork in front of her.
