Monday 5th January (30 minute episode at 7.30pm)
As Debbie and Ronnie's wedding comes to a close, the majority of guests are preparing to make their way back to Weatherfield.
Armed with his cash – which is mostly fake – Carl is planning to escape the area, but hasn't bargained on sister Debbie jumping into the passenger seat. She's determined to stop him, but he spurts drunken abuse at her about his mum Elaine's death and speeds off into the night. Kevin and Abi clock the interaction and chase after them.
Meanwhile, Kit tracks down Carla and, having received a tip off about where Becky is, the two dart off in the direction of Hull. She's planning to take Lisa and Betsy to Rotterdam, but takes her eye off the road when Carla calls... and devastating consequences follow.
Elsewhere, Todd begs Billy to take him home to pack his cases before Theo returns, but it's too late when he boards the minibus back to Manchester. Shona and David are in disbelief to find Cassie locked in the bridal suite bathroom – supposedly Tracy's doing.
