As Robert waits in his cell to set off for court, he's puzzled to learn from Paula there has been a delay as new information has come to light.

Meanwhile, Derek offers to delay the factory sale for Nick and Sarah until they raise the cash, if they can lay down £10,000 right now. Nick and Sarah ask the factory workers to raise the £10,000.

Derek explains to Izzy that he needs money to take his kids on a promised holiday to Florida or he'll lose them forever, so Izzy approaches Gary for a loan to fund her share of the £10,000. Gary's seething that Derek is trying to sell a building that actually belongs to him.

Gary corners Derek in the Rovers yard. Feigning confidence, Derek points out his company is named on the factory deeds so Gary can't stop him selling. A menacing Gary insists otherwise.
