In the 7000th Episode The police question Tony about Maria running him down suggesting that she may have been trying to kill him but, to Carla's fury and dismay, Tony insists that he didn't see a thing and it was an accident. Later Tony has a surprise for everyone when he brings Jed Stone to the pub – after first making sure he covers the ligature marks on his neck. Maria feels foolish when Tony asks her to come to the pub to meet someone and, unaware of the marks on Jed's neck realizes she has falsely accused him of murder.
