In the bistro Theo invites Gary and Maria to join him for his birthday lunch as Todd is running late at work. As he rushes in, Theo shoots him daggers. With lunch over, Theo hands Todd the bill and insists they treat Gary and Maria. Todd sheepishly tells Nick that he’s only got £80. Back at home, Theo accuses Todd of ruining his birthday and orders him to get a bottle of wine. When Todd suggests coffee instead, Theo loses it.
As Todd tidies up the broken crockery from last night’s fight, he tells George he won’t be coming into work, while Gary clocks Theo waking up in his van. Theo makes out that Todd’s worried about money and they had an argument. Todd makes some soup but when he can’t get the blender to work, he loses his temper and throws it. Gary arrives to pick up some clothes for Theo and surveys the mess. Upset, Todd tells Gary that he wants to patch things up. Having been summoned by Gary, Theo calls at the flat to talk.
Alone in the flat, Todd worries that Theo could return at any time. At the undertakers, an agitated George receives another funeral cancellation. In the Rovers, George, Christina, Sarah and James rally round Todd in a bid to cheer him up, but when Todd spots Theo, he’s overcome with emotion and leaves. Theo follows and suggests they need to talk. As James guides a drunken Todd home, Theo watches from the shadows.
Theo overhears Summer telling George how James stayed the night on the sofa. In Speed Daal Theo clocks Adam with a client, when Gary reveals it’s Annie, the woman accusing George of fraud, Theo sidles over.
A gloomy George listens as Todd and Christina read out fake news articles destroying his reputation. In the Rovers, Maggie reads the same and worries that the pub will be tainted by association. Spotting George in the bar, Maggie labels him the local conman and tells him he’s no longer welcome. When Todd and Christina leap to his defence, Maggie bars them too.
Theo tracks Todd on his app.
