Todd
has spent the past few weeks stringing his mum Eileen along by
pretending to be an internet admirer called Jeff, which is about to have
devastating consequences as her other love interest Adrian Mortimer
discovers the truth.
The trouble begins when 'Jeff' sends Eileen
an email revealing that he is flying into Manchester and
wants them to meet up.
Eileen already has plans with Adrian, but Todd plays puppetmaster by offering to tell him that she
is unwell so she can secretly meet Jeff instead.
Later, Eileen
arrives at the Bistro expecting to find Jeff, but is stunned when she
comes face-to-face with Adrian instead, all thanks to Todd's careful
plans.

Eileen is clearly unsettled by her predicament as she is expecting
Jeff to arrive at any moment, but just when it seems that she is about
to save herself, Todd goes a step further as he is determined to cause
as much trouble as possible.
Todd takes great pleasure in
informing Adrian about his wealthy love rival, leaving him crushed to
hear that Eileen has been two-timing him.
Once Eileen figures out
that Todd was 'Jeff' all along, he explains himself by bitterly
insisting that it's payback for the time he was attacked after being
stood up by his family at the Bistro.
Todd also confesses that he
was responsible for his brother Jason's split from Eva Price too, but
as his family turn on him in response, is there any place left for him
in Weatherfield?
