In the 7000th Episode The police question Tony about Maria running him down suggesting that she may have been trying to kill him but, to Carla's fury and dismay, Tony insists that he didn't see a thing and it was an accident. Later Tony has a surprise for everyone when he brings Jed Stone to the pub – after first making sure he covers the ligature marks on his neck. Maria feels foolish when Tony asks her to come to the pub to meet someone and, unaware of the marks on Jed's neck realizes she has falsely accused him of murder. Carla however is not convinced when Tony tells her he set Jed up in a new home in Wigan after feeling bad about buying his old house and when she later sees Tony frogmarching Jed to his car, and apparently threatening him, her suspicions are aroused even more. Is she about to figure out the turth about Liam's death and the events of Christmas eve and that Maria has been right all along? Blanche and Leanne continue to work alongside each other in the betting shop in Peter's absence with Blanche even conceding that she likes Leanne and thinks she is good for Peter. Norris and Mary are delighted when they jointly win a motor home in a competition. Mary suggests that they get some use out of their prize and enjoy a few days away in Southport.
