Elswhere, when a glam Amy Barlow reveals that she and Ollie Driscoll are off out on their first proper date, Lauren Bolton bristles. After watching on, as she hands over some drinks, she stumbles and accidentally soaks Amy. How will Ollie react?
It doesn’t seem to have caused too much drama as the following day, Amy’s buzzing after her night out with Ollie. At the Rovers, Ollie reveals that he’s taking Amy for dinner at Speed Daal later, leaving Steve McDonald and Ben Driscoll delighted.
Meanwhile, despite her being against Lauren’s romance with Ollie, Maggie pulls the barmaid to one side and orders her to go home, dress to impress and get down to Speed Daal to show Ollie what he’s missing. At the restaurant, Ollie and Amy are getting on well but when Lauren calls in looking a million dollars, Ollie can’t tear his eyes away.

Later, discovering the truth, Ollie rounds on Maggie for using Lauren to sabotage his date with Amy. But Lauren admits to Ollie that she really likes him and wishes they were still together.
Sticking with Maggie and next week, Steve invites Ben to his dad, Jim McDonald’s, funeral, admitting he could do with some moral support, leaving Tim Metcalfe jealous and he points out that he at least knew Jim, unlike Ben.
And when Ben explains he’s going to Jim’s funeral to lend Steve some moral support, Maggie’s disparaging. Meanwhile, Steve’s nervous as he sets off with neither Liz nor Andy attending, as they washed their hands of Jim a long time ago.
The funeral over, the mourners gather in the Rovers. As Declan and Davey (two of Jim’s army mates) regale Steve with tales of Jim’s past, a sour-faced Maggie reminds Ben that he’s got a hospital appointment in the morning and suggests it’s time they were making tracks.

The next morning, Ben wakes up with a hangover and Eva Price is disapproving and reminds him that he’s due at the hospital for his echocardiogram. Back, having missed his appointment, Maggie’s further agitated and Eva tells Maggie that whilst she realises Jim’s funeral must have stirred up memories of losing Ben’s dad, she mustn’t take it out on the punters.
Also on the cobbles, David the dog cocks his leg on Adam Barlow’s new car, and the lawyer is left furious when Jodie fails to take him seriously. In the café, Tracy Barlow spies the dog behind the counter and threatens to report Jodie to environmental health.
Meanwhile, Adam suggests to Alya Nazir they reward themselves for all their hard work and book a holiday. Alya’s delighted but when she receives a text, she’s clearly thrown.
Later, Adam confronts Jodie with the bag of dog poo. Jodie denies all knowledge but David can sense she’s lying. Adam tells Daniel Osbourne and Alya about the incident. But when Alya’s phone rings with a call from Rich, she quickly rejects it. Meanwhile, Daniel tells Adam that the only way he’s going to solve it is to catch the poo-perpetrator in the act.
As he comes up with a plan, Jodie and David are already attaching another bag of poo to Adam’s car and run off giggling. But later, as David and Jodie giggle about their poo bag escapade, Lily Platt tells them they won’t be laughing when they see the Weatherfield Community page.

A worried Jodie tells David that if her ex boyfriend sees the video, he’ll be able to track her down and so David promises to have a word with Adam. Meanwhile, Alya meets up with her old boss from Fabians. What is she up to?
And, Sam Blakeman arrives at the bus stop and is promptly sick, leaving Leanne Battersby to rushe him home. Leanne voices her concerns about Sam to Nick, saying she knows he’s worried about his exams but can’t help thinking there’s more to it.
Still worried, Leanne confides in Megan Walsh that she’s concerned for Sam and senses something is bothering him. Megan assures her she’s worrying over nothing. Meanwhile, assuming she’s alone, Megan flirts on the phone with Will Driscoll but when Leanne emerges from the bathroom, Megan’s horrified.

The following day, Sam calls at the flat to pick up his books but when Leanne heads out, Megan takes the opportunity to have another dig at him. Meanwhile, Leanne shares her concerns about Sam with Daniel and apologises for interrupting his and Megan’s flirty phone call the night before…
Soon, Leanne, Nick and Toyah Battersby get together to discuss Sam’s work regime and agree that he’s pushing himself too hard. Meanwhile, when Megan cancels her date with Daniel, Leanne’s interest is piqued.
As the week draws to a close, Hope Stape rightly suspects that Sam is being bullied and urges him to stand up to whoever it is because bullies are cowards at heart. But when Megan warns Sam that if he voices his ludicrous theory about her and Will, nobody will believe him, he takes Hope’s advice and Sam asserts that he’s not afraid of her anymore.
