After finding the skeleton hand, Tim runs to get it back to his car in shock at what he finds and quickly calls the police.
But while his car remains unlocked, a clever Stephen appears in the back seat of Tim’s taxi and says: “I want to see you here.”
Tim calmly drives Stephen in his car back to the Cobbles, trying to take a side track to the police station.
But Stephen quickly realized where Tim was going and angrily removed his tie and continued to strangle Tim until he luckily escaped from the car.
Despite escaping, Stephen quickly caught up to Tim and was hit in the head by the mental pool, before falling to the floor and throwing himself into the boot of the car.
As the hour-long episode continued, Steven doused the car in gasoline while Tim stayed to the side and went to set fire to the taxi to get rid of the evidence.
But he stops short when he hears a helicopter fly overhead and Steven runs after it back to Weatherfield.
Will Stephen’s murders ever be caught and will Tim’s body be found?

Steven had already started planning his escape from the cobblestones and the trail of dead bodies.
However, he is unaware that the residents of Coronation Street are putting together the pieces of a rather shocking puzzle, one that could leave him spending his days behind bars rather than running on the beach.
Later, a seemingly calm and composed Stephen returns to the cobblestones smoothly bypassing Jenny and heads straight for the shower to wash away all traces of blood and fuel before calling the airline to confirm his flight for tomorrow.
Meanwhile the police lift the roof box from the murky waters of the canal, Craig and Swain shudder to see that it contains human remains.
