Aaron focuses on his dad

The police turn up at the flat and inform Aaron that his dad is in hospital following a house fire. At the hospital, Aaron's heartbroken and blames himself when his dad says he wishes he hadn't survived.

Summer's crushed when Aaron refuses to let her get involved, insisting that his focus needs to be on his dad. Later, she finds Billy entertaining a couple, Esther and Mike, who are running a charity event - and Billy volunteers her to help them out.

Max lashes out at Maria?

Max is devastated when he learns that he won't be allowed back to Weatherfield High as there's no room - and accuses his new Iraqi refugee friend, Daryan, of stealing his place.

When Maria is trolled in the comments section of an article about her rehoming refugees, a suspicious David confronts Max and accuses him of being the culprit.

Stu learns the truth

As they enjoy brunch, Eliza asks Stu about life in prison, prompting a distraught Bridget to run out into the garden. When Stu comes out to comfort her and talks more about his time inside, he's left stunned when she reveals a big secret. Meanwhile, Alya learns from Dee-Dee that the DNA results will be back tomorrow.

Also next week...

Dee-Dee admits to Ed and Aggie that she's been feeling lonely in Los Angeles and doesn't want to go back. They're pleased when she calls her boss and quits her job.

Mary's miffed when Ken ditches her after getting an invite from Wendy to attend a book launch at the Bistro. But when Tracy shows up at the launch, she's fuming when she sees them together - and makes her feelings clear.

After having sex for the first time in months, Sally and Tim head to the Bistro, where Ed invites them to join him and Aggie at the table. Tim notices that Aggie's puzzled to see him and Sally acting so intimately, so he sends her a text... before realising that he's sent it to Sally instead.

When Fern pops round to number 5, Bernie heads out for a takeaway - and Fern seizes the opportunity to swipe a bank statement and one of Bernie's tops before doing a runner.

Leanne's shocked when Nick reveals that they've both received prison visiting orders from Harvey. They decide to rip them up, but before too long Leanne has a change of heart and tells Nick that she won't be able to settle until she knows what he wants from them.
