George (Tony Maudsley) and Eileen (Sue Cleaver) have been struggling to develop their love/hate relationship with both of them fighting against great timing.
On their previous date, Eileen let slip through her lips that she doesn’t like George’s living for making money from the dead. How will she react if she finds out that George is involved in keeping Corrie’s mass killer Pat Phelan’s (played by Connor McIntyre) ashes all this time?
It’s obvious that the undertaker George would like to take his chance on Eileen, but he has to come clean to her first for hiding a secret she would surely hate.

Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) literally takes the matter into his hands by stealing Phelan’s urn to dispose of it himself, as he doesn’t trust George to keep his promise. It was last week when Todd discovered George’s secret and the undertaker vowed to get rid of it properly, explaining that he’s just been waiting for the perfect timing to tell Eileen.
Time is the ultimate truth teller indeed, for Eileen enters the room the moment Phelan’s ashes are flying over the room. It is after George gives chase after catching Todd red-handed for trying to run away with the urn. Can she still trust them?
