Coronation Street teen Summer Spellman receives a shock later this month as show newcomers Mike and Esther Hargrave try to strike a second deal with her.
Summer recently deceived the couple by keeping quiet about how she'd tragically suffered a miscarriage – not wanting to return the latest £10,000 payment they'd just given her.
Summer and her boyfriend Aaron Sandford had agreed to hand their child over to Mike and Esther after the birth in exchange for cash. They wanted to use the money to fund a stay in rehab for Aaron's alcoholic father Eric.
In scenes airing later this month, Mike and Esther insist on driving Summer to the hospital for her 12-week scan.

Mike and Esther agree that they'll wait outside the building while the scan takes place. Summer and Aaron reluctantly head inside and play for time, needing to keep up the pretence that Summer is still pregnant.
Their plan backfires when Mike suddenly appears by their side, insisting that he should have a chance to be at the scan after all.
Summer and Aaron are defeated and brace themselves to finally tell Mike the truth.
Later in the week, Summer realises that she needs to do the right thing and raise the £10,000 to pay back Mike and Esther.

Summer calls her three dads together, telling Billy Mayhew, Todd Grimshaw and Paul Foreman that she and Aaron are planning to go travelling for a year and need £10,000.
The trio are sceptical and quiz Summer for further details about her plans.
Events take another twist when Mike and Esther tell Summer and Aaron that they're willing to forget the lost £10,000.
The pair also promise to give Summer even more money if she'll agree to be a surrogate for their baby.

When Billy finds out what's going on, he makes it his mission to ensure that Summer refuses the surrogacy offer.
Billy summons Mike and Esther to speak to him and tries to lay down the law.
Mike stands up to Billy, pointing out that it's Summer's decision to make rather than his.
Billy refuses to back down and threatens to report Mike and Esther to the police over their recent behaviour. How will Summer react?
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
