As Aaron Sandford’s abusive father arrives in Weatherfield, Alya Nazir hatches a scheme to aid Stu Carpenter, and James Bailey relocates to London, Corrie viewers can anticipate plenty of drama next week.
Next week’s dramatic scenes feature young Aaron Sandford (James Craven) being threatened by his abusive father Eric Sandford (Craig Cheetham).
Aaron tells his girlfriend Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) that he has found a bag of marijuana in his father’s wallet, which he had taken from him in order to prevent him from buying alcohol.
Daniel Brocklebank’s Billy Mayhew and Gareth Pierce’s Todd Grimshaw discover a happy Aaron and Summer in the apartment, off their faces on freshly baked weed brownies.
Billy is horrified and tells them to go hide in the bedroom because the bishop will be there any second.
Todd yells at the bishop to stop as he is about to try one of the brownies, but is it too late?
Billy continues to warn Aaron about the risks of drugs until Summer yells that she’s had enough of being told what to do.
Later on in the week, Aaron’s father, who is obviously intoxicated and agitated, shows up at the garage and threatens his son over the taken money and marijuana.
However, Kevin Webster dispatches him without delay (Michael Le Vell).
Summer is shocked to learn when Aaron meets up with her that his father was waiting for him and attacked him when he got home.
Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) calls at the flower shop apartment after learning from Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) that Aaron stole marijuana from his father and scolds Aaron for misdirecting Summer.
Aaron winces in pain and lashes out, punching Paul in the face when he reaches for his battered arm. Summer looks on in disbelief.
The Weatherfield vicar is sympathetic and rushes off to prevent Paul from reporting Aaron to the police after Aaron tells Billy that his father regularly beats him. Paul then informs Billy that he is going to report Aaron to the police. Will he arrive in time?
In another scene, Stu Carpenter (Bill Fellows), who is anxious, gets ready to meet his granddaughter Eliza at Speed Daal and is thrilled when it goes well. But when Lucy Woodrow’s ex shows up and demands that Bridget and Eliza leave the restaurant right away, the atmosphere changes (Lynda Rooke).
Stu’s DNA was not found on Charlie’s bag, but Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) informs Alya Nazir (Sair Khan) that re-testing the evidence would be costly.
Alya chases after the women as they leave the restaurant and accuses a frazzled Lucy of withholding crucial information regarding Stu’s case.
Alya is determined to come up with the money for the DNA test because she thinks Lucy may know more than she is letting on.
Stu explains to Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King) and Alya that he is giving up on his case and just wants to put the past behind him.
In order to get in touch with his daughter and granddaughter, he is still adamant about dropping the case.
Alya keeps Stu’s wishes a secret and informs Dee-Dee that everything must go through her when Dee-Dee informs her that she has secured funding for the test.
Eliza shows up at Speed Daal, and Stu won’t let up until he calls Bridget. When Lucy and Bridget arrive to pick up Eliza, Alya sees an opening.
Alya cufflinks Dee-Dee and insists they conduct a DNA test on a mug that Lucy previously drank from so they can determine for sure if she is the real killer of Charlie.
Dee-Dee admits to Alya that she has made the decision to leave her job in Los Angeles but hasn’t yet informed her family.
Zeedan Nazir (Qasim Akhtar) realizes Dee-Dee hasn’t actually dropped Stu’s case when she calls Speed Daal with paperwork for Alya to sign.
Dee-Dee is incensed by Alya’s deceit, but after hearing her explanation, she agrees to send the cup, saying that if Stu changes his mind, they will have the results for him.
James Bailey (Nathan Graham), the nephew of Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan), is also informed that a youth center in the Lewisham area is seeking a football coach.
James promises to call them as soon as he realizes Danny Tomlinson (Dylan Brady) lives nearby.
James informs Ronnie with excitement that he will begin working at the youth center on Monday.
James informs the family he has a fantastic new job, but it requires moving to London, in the Bistro.
As James exits the street, Ed (Trevor Michael Gerorges), Aggie (Lorna Laidlaw), Michael (Ryan Russell), and Dee-Dee say goodbye to him in an emotional way.
