Carla calls a meeting with Sarah and Stephen and explains that Sarah is now Head of Design, whilst Stephen will be Office Manager.
Determined to have his revenge on Carla, Stephen slips into the Underworld office with the vial of LSD from Rufus' briefcase and slips the LSD into Carla's coffee. Carla heads onto the factory floor, clearly discombobulated and woozy.
In The Rovers, Stephen spikes Carla's red wine with another vial of LSD. Peter calls at the pub and immediately realises Carla isn't well. Carla stares at the factory girls, with her paranoia growing by the second. She is helped out of the pub by Peter, who is worried sick that her psychosis is returning.
Stephen sneaks into Carla's office, deletes a meeting with Dick Haversham from her diary and muddles up her paperwork.
Later, Adam assures Sarah that he understands her need for a career and they can talk again about babies in six months' time.
Meanwhile, Marrium calls on Zeedan and tells him she can't believe that he and Alya watched her dad die in front of them. Zeedan begs her not to go to the police.
Alya finds Marrium in the café. Alya tells Marrium that she's as much to blame for her dad's death as Zeedan. Alya realises that Zeedan is sacrificing his relationship for her sake.
Alya tells Zeedan that she doesn't need protecting and returns to work in the restaurant. At No.6, Zeedan tells Alya that whether she likes it or not, he's sticking around as family must always come first.
Elsewhere, Dee-Dee tells Paul they're having a night out on the town later. Summer reveals that she's had a conditional offer from Manchester University. Billy suggests to Paul they meet for a drink later. Paul agrees, despite his promise to Dee-Dee.
Paul suggests to Dee-Dee they meet in The Rovers rather than going into town. In The Rovers, Dee-Dee witters on at Paul about her love life, but when Billy arrives, Paul's face lights up. When Billy confides in Paul how appalled he was with Todd's show of violence towards Mike, Paul masks his guilt.
Also today, David confides in Gail how worried he is about Max's sentencing tomorrow. Gary has a go at Maria for defending David. Maria insists that it's not his fault.
Finally, Brian moves into the flat and does his best to bond with Amy's uni mates and offers to do his Vernon Kay impression. Amy tells Summer that Brian is driving her up the wall.
