There’s once again more drama to come in Weatherfield next week as Nathan Curtis’ return leaves him in danger. First though in Coronation Street and Dee-Dee Bailey takes a call from the CPS informing her that they have some news regarding missing Lauren Bolton’s phone messages.
Dee-Dee tells Carla Connor and Nina Lucas about the messages which have come to light and following Nathan’s return and her new theory that he must be involved in the teen’s disappearance and suspected murder, Bethany listens, her mind a whirl.
She then inveigles her way into the solicitors and locates Lauren’s file on Dee-Dee’s desk. Later, Bethany quizzes PC Craig Tinker about Nathan’s alibi and when Craig lets slip that Nathan was with his girlfriend and she works at a nail bar in town, Bethany points out that he was running a tanning salon when he groomed her.

Sarah Barlow, meanwhile, confides in Gary Windass that she’s worried about Bethany as she’s become fixated on trying to pin Lauren’s murder on Nathan. As Daniel Osbourne and Bethany head out, they’re shocked to be confronted by Nathan, who rails at Bethany for harassing his girlfriend.
Then, in the Rovers, Sarah, Gary and Platt discuss Nathan and agree that something has to be done before he ruins Bethany’s life all over again. Soon, on the building site, Nathan’s packing up as a hooded figure approaches and strikes him over the head and he collapses unconscious.
Later, as Bethany mulls over who Nathan’s attacker might be, Shona Platt quizzes David about the stain on his jeans and is not convinced by his story. David assures Bethany and Sarah he’s innocent but they’re interrupted by Shona brandishing the tracking app on David’s phone which proves he was at the building site when Nathan was attacked.
David quickly admits he witnessed the attack but wasn’t responsible, leaving Bethany convinced that her boyfriend Daniel is to blame. Will she be proved right?
Elsewhere, Toyah Habeeb finds a forum for ex-members of the Altovalent Institute. She tries to show sister Leanne Battersby a post she’s seen, suggesting that the Institute is not to be trusted, only to discover it’s been taken down for legal reasons.
Leanne’s dismissive but calls Rowan who makes out that his bitter ex wrote it and there’s no truth in her words. When Rowan reveals that he’s been promoted to head of the North-West division and offers her a tour of the Institute, leaving Leanne flattered.
Later, Leanne explains to Simon Barlow that she met a guy called Jared at the Institute who’d be happy to help him set up his food delivery app and Toyah listens in. But when Simon reveals that Jared’s agreed to meet him and he’ll need to borrow some money, Leanne’s delighted, while Toyah reckons it’s another scam.
Soon, Toyah studies Rowan’s page and copies a number into her phone. Toyah meets with Rowan’s ex, Una and explains how her sister has become embroiled in the Institute and she’s worried she might be in danger.
Later, as Leanne leaves for the retreat, Toyah begs her to reconsider, but Leanne refuses. Simon’s hurt to find she’s gone without saying goodbye. Having bunked off work, Simon proceeds to get drunk, before throwing up in Tim Metcalfe’s cab and doing a runner without paying.
Meanwhile, Steve McDonald reads an article about Weatherfield County’s plans to honour Tommy Orpington by commissioning a bust of him. Steve meets with Demi and proceeds to slag off Tommy and when Demi enquires why he hates him so much, Steve spills the beans about Tracy’s affair.

Later, when Tim reveals that Steve’s girlfriend, Demi, is an estate agent in Hale Barns, Sally’s in awe and immediately lifts the friendship ban. She’s then thrilled when Steve invites her and Tim to join them for dinner.
