Next week on Coronation Street, Leanne is drawn in deeper by the cult.
Elsewhere, Toyah confides in Nick about her past, Dee-Dee has a decision to make over Joel, and Todd makes a discovery at the funeral parlour.
Our full guide to 13 big moments follows below.
1. Leanne is told to turn against her family
Leanne makes a video call to Rowan, who’s still out of the country on a trip.
When Leanne mentions that Toyah is still full of negativity over The Institute, Rowan claims that it’s time for her to start keeping a distance from her sceptical sister.
2. Roy’s pet is dognapped
Sam decides to take Roy’s dog Freddie for a walk, but he’s secretly being watched by one of the internet sleuths who are obsessed with Lauren’s disappearance.
The schoolboy is mortified when he returns without Freddie, revealing that Roy’s four-legged friend ran off.
Before long, Nina, Asha and Evelyn are alerted to a video from the amateur detectives, who reveal that they’ve taken Freddie hostage until Roy confesses to Lauren’s murder.
3. Toyah flies into a rage
Toyah gets involved in the search for Freddie and finds three sleuths digging up a rosebed in the park. They reveal that they saw Freddie digging there and believe that it must be where Roy buried Lauren’s body.
Toyah is furious over the group’s actions, so she grabs one of the shovels and smashes up their car window. Nick witnesses Toyah’s outburst and is baffled as she bursts into tears.
4. Toyah tells Nick the truth
Toyah initially covers by telling Nick that she was merely defending Roy when she smashed up the sleuths’ car. However, she later breaks down and shares that she has her own personal connection to the spot where the group were digging.
Toyah tells Nick that she gave birth to a stillborn baby girl when she was 19 and buried the child in the park. The father of the baby was Phil Simmonds, the man who raped Toyah in 2001.
Nick comforts Toyah but they’re interrupted when Simon arrives home and shares the news that police are digging up the park. He repeats some gossip from Bobby, who believes the police have found a body.
5. Asha finds herself in danger
Asha contacts the online troll behind the Freddie video and arranges to meet him in the precinct. Aadi offers to join her, but gets distracted when Amy also needs his help at the last minute.
Asha feels vulnerable when ‘TrueMan67’ turns up alongside his sidekick ‘Banditman’. They bombard Asha with questions, leaving her feeling ambushed and frightened.
6. Roy gets false hope
Roy tells his prison officer that he’s hopeful of being released as new evidence has come to light in the Lauren investigation.
Dee-Dee appears in court to argue Roy’s case, explaining that Bobby supposedly saw a suspicious man leaving Lauren’s flat and he didn’t match Roy’s description. The judge rules that it’s not enough to secure Roy’s release.
Roy remains hopeful when Dee-Dee mentions that the police are planning a reconstruction. However, when Roy summons Carla to the prison to discuss Bobby’s statement, has he realised that lies are being told on his behalf?
7. Rowan returns
Cult leader Rowan returns from his trip and Leanne is delighted to see him. Although Leanne is busy at the Bistro, Rowan insists that she should put herself first by spending time on his “uploading” technique.
Toyah is forced to step in and cover for Leanne when Nick becomes overwhelmed at the Bistro. Meanwhile, Leanne spends her time talking Rowan through everything bad that has happened in her life over the years.
8. Joel tries to kiss Dee-Dee
Joel knows that Michael has doubts over him potentially reuniting with Dee-Dee. He promises Michael that he’ll never lie to Dee-Dee again.
Later, Joel catches up with Dee-Dee and thanks her for joining him and giving moral support when he met his daughter Maeve. Joel leans in for a kiss, but is Dee-Dee ready to forgive him?
9. Todd hatches a sneaky plan
George announces plans to update his will and he asks Eileen to take on power of attorney. This offends Glenda, who feels snubbed and storms out.
Later, Eileen is mortified to find Todd plying George with tea and biscuits at work. It’s clear that he’s only doing it to get in George’s good books at such a crucial time.
10. Todd finds Archie’s secret will
Todd sneaks a look at George’s will and is pleased to find out that he’ll inherit the undertakers’ business. Eileen rebukes Todd for snooping and points out that George would change his mind if he knew.
Todd’s sneaky behaviour continues as he finds an old copy of Archie Shuttleworth’s will, containing the last wishes of George’s late father.
11. The secret will causes problems
Eileen prepares to travel to Thailand to care for Jason, who has broken his back.
Before she goes, Eileen warns George that Todd found a copy of Archie’s will, which states that Glenda was supposed to get 50% of the business. Todd plays down its significance, not wanting to lose his inheritance, but will George do the right thing and tell Glenda?
12. Amy lands a new role
Aadi suggests that Amy should apply for a vacant position as a student radio presenter. He points out that she could use this platform to promote her women’s charity work.
Amy gets the job but finds herself short of a guest for her first live interview. Bernie has an idea when she spots Paul telling funny stories to his PA, Hannah.
13. Tim meddles in Steve’s love life
Steve confides in Tim about his online interactions with Demi, a potential romantic match. However, as they haven’t yet arranged an in-person meet-up, Steve can’t be sure that Demi is really who she says she is.
Tim thinks Steve is wasting too much time dithering, so he grabs his friend’s phone and sends Demi a message to arrange a date.
