Harry draws the raffle for the signed football. Tommy wins it. Ashley pours his heart out to Fred and tells him of Maxine's one-night stand with Matt Ramsden and how Joshua could be Matt's son.

Karen compliments Gail on her new bracelet, but later Gail is visibly concerned when she overhears Steve telling Karen that the bracelet she's wearing wasn't bought for her by Richard - it had belonged to a potential client and was found on building site at the flats. Gail begins to get a bad feeling, and when Ashley walks into the bar while Richard is making a speech, Gail sees the look of guilt on her husband's face. As the pieces start to fall into place, Gail leaves the party without a word and goes home where she looks through the medicine cupboard for the Diazepam tablets. Richard walks in on her. She asks Richard outright if he murdered Maxine and he confesses that he did.

Richard confesses everything to a stunned Gail. He admits to leaving Duggie for dead, killing Patricia, attempting to kill Audrey and convincing her that she was going mad, attempting to kill Emily for her money, killing Maxine and framing Ade. He explains that he loves her and the kids and only wanted to protect them and give them the best of everything. Richard protests that he loves her and the kids so much that he only wanted to give them the best of everything and was willing to anything he could to protect them.

Gail is devastated. The kids, having not been told of all that is happening, are shocked.

The residents of the street have all heard that Richard has confessed to Maxine's murder before he absconded. The news is broken to Emily, who is upset when she realises that he was intending to kill her but Maxine interrupted him. She admits to Norris that he was right about Richard all along, and Norris proceeds to comfort her. At the same time, the police call on Ashley and Fred to inform them that Richard was the one who killed Maxine and that he also framed Ade for the crime. Ashley is distraught by this revelation and, upon thinking about Richard's speech at Maxine's funeral, decides to confront Gail about her husband.

Peter wants to tell Shelley that it's over between them and that he's marrying someone else but can't bring himself to. He agrees to move into the Rovers. Shelley is delighted.

Ashley goes back to work and Fred looks after Joshua. Shelley's sister Sharon has taken a turn for the worse. Peter persuades Shelley to go and visit her saying that he will look after the Rovers. Jack and Vera report their lost investments to the police. They explain that Richard insisted that they had to write the cheque out to "Richard Hillman" rather than a company. When DC Brett expresses incredulity that they did such a thing, Jack explains that it's because Gail is an old friend and they trusted her. They realise how naive they've been.

Martin tells them it isn't necessary. Peter again tries to find the right moment to tell Shelley that the wedding is off but again fails.

Steve sits in the cab office listening to Karen and Joe making love in the flat above. Tracy has to borrow £150 from Deirdre to pay her hotel bill as Dev has stopped her credit card, but not before she managed to run up £1,000 on it. Kevin gives in and buys Rosie a mobile phone.

Karen is furious with Joe and points out that they could both end up in prison. Shelley tells her mum how much she enjoys having her around and Bev admits that she's enjoyed it too.

Joe starts putting pressure on Karen to get a divorce. Karen feels unnerved by this. Curly tries to persuade Emma that she has to come clean and that she can't risk lying in court. Emma tries to stand up for Mick saying that he's a good policeman.

Mike goes off leaving a relieved Joe in charge. Dev arrives back a day early from his holiday to find Deirdre standing in for Sunita in the corner shop as she has had to go to No.7 to change Ben's clothing.

Emma changes her mind again at the last minute, and lies to the court saying that it was Les who attacked Mick and not the other way round. Mick thanks Emma but she tells him that she was just scared of telling the truth and what it would mean to her relationship with her police colleagues, not because she was supportive of him. Emma hates herself for being a coward. Curly is appalled by what she's done. Les's witness Dave Arden turns up at the last minute and backs up Les's story but under cross-examination admits to having had run-ins with the police himself.

Rosie practices her pop idol routine in her bedroom. Wally calls to see Blanche but she's at the salon having her hair done. Instead he chats up Tracy while he's waiting.

Martin does his best to explain to Tommy and Angela that he loves Katy and that he's not a pervert as Tommy keeps suggesting. Ken and Deirdre are embarrassed and ashamed of Peter. Everyone in the Rovers is shocked at Shelley and Lucy's revelations. Back at No.1, Peter tries to explain to Ken, Deirdre and Tracy how he got himself into this mess. Ken tells him to pack his bags and go. Karen slaps Steve across the face and tells him he'll have to live somewhere else. She does all this just for show to make their impending divorce look more authentic. Eileen assumes that Steve has been unfaithful again and she slaps him too! Martin admits to Tommy that he's slept with Katy.

Katy is beside herself when Tommy and Angela ban her from going to school and keep her locked up in the house with Tommy "babysitting". Jack appears in court over the drugs offence - growing cannabis. He gets off with a £200 fine which Tyrone says he'll pay, and a slap on the wrist. Both Deirdre and Nick independently decide to apply for the trainee assistant manager's job at Underworld. Harry tells Mike he wants to remain a cleaner. Mike is relieved.

Tommy stamps on her phone breaking it.

Audrey is appalled to hear that Martin is seeing Katy, while Nick doesn't think the age difference matters. It's Katy's seventeenth birthday but she refuses to accept a present from Tommy and Angela. Secretly Katy starts eating sugar, biscuits and cake knowing that if she slips into a diabetic coma they will have to let her out to go to hospital. Steve is sick of all the flak he's getting from people who think he's done the dirty on Karen. Lucy is still hell-bent on revenge. Shelley isn't so keen. Between them they plaster the bookies in posters saying Peter is a fraud and can't be trusted and have put an advert in the paper to the same affect. Peter turns up and gets Sally to close the shop. He is distraught. Shelley feels guilty. Martin tries to see Katy but is warned off by Tommy. Audrey then lays into him, accusing him of taking advantage.

Tommy, Angela and Craig are relieved when the doctor tells them that Katy will make a full recovery. The doctor questions them as she's suspicious that this was a cry for help. Tommy and Angela refuse to discuss it. Peter turns up at Lucy's Florist's drunk. He demands to see Simon but Lucy refuses him access and throws him out. Katy comes round from her coma to find Martin at her bedside. They declare their love for each other. Deirdre is disappointed to find out from Mike that she didn't get the job. Nick on the other hand is delighted to hear that he's been successful. Eileen sets up Karen and Steve on a "blind date" in the Rovers hoping to bring them back together. They continue with their "pretend falling-out" and Karen throws a drink all over Steve.

Karen doesn't want Steve eyeing up other girls, even if it is just for show. He tells her he only has eyes for her. David and Sarah are offhand with Martin over his relationship with Katy and Ashley tells Martin that he thinks he should finish with Katy. Mike introduces Nick to the factory girls as the trainee assistant manager. Todd asks Eileen if she'll babysit for Bethany that evening so that he and Sarah can go to the pictures unaware that Sarah has asked Brenda Fearns. Katy is let out of hospital and tries to get in the flat, buzzing on the intercom. Although he's up there and listening, Martin doesn't answer. Sally tries to find out from Ken and Deirdre where Peter is. Angela appeals to Martin to finish his relationship with Katy. Deirdre tells Shelley and Lucy that Peter has left the area to go and stay with a friend from the navy.

Karen and Steve make up and apologise to each other. Tommy, against Angela's wishes, tells Craig that Katy is no longer a part of their family and that he's to snub her. Karen admits that all she wants is to be married to Steve but it's too late to go back on the divorce proceedings. Later, Karen rushes to the court in an effort to stop the divorce proceedings. Norris finds out that Katy is living with Martin. "That's the world told", says Martin. Fred tells Bev about a trip to Scotland with the Weatherfield Butchers Guild, but he can't go and leave Shelley in charge as it wouldn't be fair. Bev agrees to help out so that Fred can go. Sarah tells Gail that Brenda Fearns babysat for her as she's so kind and supportive. At the court, Karen learns that the decree absolute has been already stamped and she's now no longer legally married. Karen goes back to the street and blames Steve. David snubs Martin when he tries to talk to him.

The next morning, a blissful Karen plans an engagement party for that night. Dev tries to contact Maya Sharma, his solicitor, as he fancies her. Ciaran arranges a night out with Sunita. Steve and Karen book the Rovers for their party but Janice lets slip that their divorce was a scam. Fred receives a visit from Petula Peach, a local abattoir owner and Fred-admirer, who is organising the trip to Scotland. Scared of her, he decides he'll have to cancel his trip. Karen invites the Underworld girls to her party but they are not pleased at the trick played on them. Bev persuades Ciaran to forego his night out with Sunita as they'll be busy tonight with the party. When Sunita finds out they row and Ciaran tells her to go back to Dev. Only Norris and Kirk turn up for the party as everyone else is annoyed at Steve and Karen's actions.

Karen is still very upset about their engagement party. Nick has spent the night at Todd and Sarah's flat. Sarah is delighted that her brother and boyfriend get on so well. Bev feels embarrassed and Ciaran feels guilty about their night of passion. Sunita, oblivious to what's gone on, apologises to Ciaran for rowing with him. Todd starts to question whether or not he really loves Sarah. Sarah can sense there's something wrong but he pretends it's just work-related. Ashley and Claire see Fred off on his coach trip to Scotland. Shelley gives Steve his bill for the engagement party. Steve is horrified. Karen tells Steve that she wants the biggest most impressive wedding ever. Gail invites Angela round for a drink.

Todd worries about the previous night's events. He tries to talk to Nick, but Nick angrily accuses him of being gay and warns Todd to stay away from him. Angela is unhappy when Craig asks if he can have Katy's old room. Tommy ignores Katy in the street, and she receives an equally frosty reception from Sarah at the cafe. Todd attempts to explain to Nick his mixed emotions about the kiss. Nick thinks Sarah has the right to know that her boyfriend is gay or, at the least, bisexual and orders Todd to tell her everything. Katy refuses when Angela asks her to come home. Angela tells her that she's on Tommy's side on this issue and hopes Katy comes to her senses. Dev has been researching other cab firms and informs Steve that the way forward is satellite navigation and women drivers.

Bev is suspicious of Lucy's motives as she arrives at the Rovers to ask Shelley to join her for a drink. After Nick's angry assertions that Todd is gay, Sarah asks for time alone with Todd for his version of events. A confused Todd questions his sexuality as he tells Sarah that although he loves her, kissing Nick felt right at the time. Nick asks Ashley if he ever gave him the impression that he was gay. Karen orders Steve to stand up to Dev over his plans for Street Cars, so Steve gives Les his job back to show Dev who's boss. Sarah is devastated at what she sees as Todd's betrayal of their relationship. Angela is furious with Tommy for allowing Craig to move into Katy's room - she accuses him of trying to erase Katy from their lives.

Sarah and Bethany have spent the night at Brenda Fearns's house, where Brenda takes care of them. Todd accuses Nick of trying to ruin his and Sarah's lives. Nick asserts that his sister was entitled to know the truth. Kevin gives Sally a hard time about how much time she's spending at work. Ken and Deirdre think that Tracy is suffering with a hangover when she's nauseous in the morning. Dev is less than pleased to see Les at Street Cars and fires him immediately. Bev and Ciaran warn Shelley against getting pally with Lucy. Eileen is delighted when Jason returns from Slough, flush with cash. Steve gives Les his job back, and to prove even more of a point to Dev, offers Tracy a job too. Sally hands over the keys to the bookies to Shelley, fed up with being taken for a mug. Brenda talks to Sarah about forgiveness and convinces her to talk to Todd.

Sarah is uncomfortable with Todd's physical advances towards her. She wants reassurance that he still fancies her. Emily presses Tracy to tell Ken and Deirdre about the baby. Todd assures Gail that all is fine between Sarah and himself. Dev is scornful when Steve sends Tracy out on a trial run in one of the cabs. Roy and Hayley ponder Ken's future relationship with Tracy's baby when Ken expresses sadness about his lack of contact with Peter's son, Simon. Lucy argues that Peter owes her and Shelley for all the suffering he's put them through. She persuades Shelley to reopen the bookies with her and to pocket the profits between them. They'll pay Sally to run the place for them. Karen is furious with Steve for hiring Tracy, but later revels in the fact that an extremely flustered Tracy makes a complete hash of her trial run. Ciaran takes an hour off from the Rovers, and later surreptitiously presents Ken with a birthday card from Peter.

Bev is dubious about Shelley's part in running the bookies and points out that Shelley has no legal claim over Peter's property. Hayley thinks that if Deirdre knew that Tracy were pregnant, she'd be able to stop her driving a cab. Shelley sees a "For Sale" sign outside the bookies. She and Lucy are convinced that Peter is trying to sell his assets before they can make a claim against him. Maria offends Nick by teasing him about his close friendship with Todd. Candice takes advantage and asks Nick out on a date. Roy and Hayley find Tracy drinking lager in the Rovers. Tracy insults Roy when he tells her that it's time she told Ken and Deirdre about the baby. Emily warns Tracy that she won't be able to keep her secret for much longer, as her bump will start to show.

Bev is curious as Shelley nervously surveys the wad of cash from the bookies. Tracy receives a letter telling her that her divorce from Robert is final. Ken worries that it will affect her more than she's willing to admit. Craig and his friend Bradley Diggins annoy Norris and Rita by kicking a ball against their garage door. Norris eventually keeps the ball, and Bradley declares war. Roy and Hayley deliver an ultimatum to Tracy to tell Ken and Deirdre about the baby that afternoon, or she'll be sorry. Lucy persuades Shelley that they've done the right thing in keeping the money, and they make plans to go shopping to spend it. Brenda Fearns asks to take Bethany out. Sarah agrees, but insists on accompanying them.

Ken and Deirdre are left reeling at the news of Tracy's pregnancy. The Norris - Gang war continues. Norris is driven to puncturing Craig's football with a pair of scissors. Dev asks Maya out on a date. She heightens his interest by playing hard to get. Maria is extremely put out at Candice seeing Nick. Deirdre is choked at the misery Tracy has brought them - after Tracy's transplant, a baby should have been such happy news. She accuses Tracy of not being deserving of the kidney that Samir had donated. Tracy finally breaks down when Deirdre tells her how hard it is to love her, and be proud of her. Deirdre's mothering instinct prevails and she comforts Tracy. Roy and Hayley feel guilty at the misery they've brought on Ken and Deirdre. Roy confirms to Ken that his suicide attempt had been as a result of Tracy threatening abortion.

Deirdre tries to persuade Tracy into keeping the baby herself. Ken meanwhile wonders if the baby is really Roy's, as they only have Tracy's word that it is. Tracy tells Roy and Hayley that the deal is still on, as all she wants is the money. Maria is disappointed when Audrey approves of Nick and Candice's relationship. Tracy furiously denies Ken's accusation that Wally Bannister fathered her baby. Maya comes to the corner shop and Dev is delighted to finally set up a date with her. Deirdre is initially cold with Emily for not telling her about Tracy. Mike is impressed when Nick stands up to the factory girls and gets them working. Roy and Hayley are devastated when Ken voices his suspicions about Wally. Roy goes to see Wally to hear the truth. He is relieved to hear that mumps as a fifteen-year old had rendered him sterile, so Wally couldn't possibly be the father.

Hayley explains to Roy that he is free to marry Tracy, as their own marriage isn't recognised. He would divorce Tracy immediately, but his rights over the baby would be guaranteed with a marriage licence, and his name on the baby's birth certificate. Martin gets Angela thinking when he tells her that Katy would love to talk to her. Jack tells Les that Barlow's Bookies have given odds of 11/1 on a dead-cert horse instead of 11/10. Les rushes off to place his bet, with an extra £50 that Ciaran has liberated from the till. Angela begins to talk to Katy, and is furious when Tommy shouts at her across the street and orders her home. She thinks it's time he thought of her feelings that she's missing Katy.

Roy and Hayley resolve to stand firm. Deirdre offers to help bring up the baby when Tracy tells her and Ken that the Croppers have changed their mind. Angela persuades Tommy to be civil to Katy and later asks Katy to meet her and Tommy at the Rovers. Ken argues with Deirdre that he's too old to look after a baby. She counters that he's never been hot on parenthood and only cares about his children at a distance. Sarah admits that she's jealous of the attention that Gail is showing Candice. Ken and Deirdre apologise to each other and agree to give Tracy all their help. Lucy takes down the "For Sale" sign outside the bookies, watched by Peter at a distance. Peter tells Ciaran that he's back to sort things out. Lucy gives Peter a hostile reception but Shelley thinks he's being fair by offering to split the proceeds of the bookies three ways when he sells it.

Angela has slept in the spare room, and is still seething over Tommy's behaviour. Katy resolves to have nothing more to do with him. Peter is incredulous to learn about Tracy's pregnancy, although he thinks that she's made the right decision to bring up the baby together with Ken and Deirdre. Roy and Hayley are upset to hear that the Barlows are going to bring up the baby and they plan a holiday to take their minds off things. Les visits the Weatherfield Arms, where he meets Lulu, a barmaid with ambitions of becoming a singer. He tells a very impressed Lulu that his name is Clint and that he's a talent scout for a record company. They arrange a date for early that evening however Les has to be home before his curfew, although he obviously doesn't mention this. Peter tells Lucy that she doesn't own the licence for the bookies, and could be shut down. She retorts that he'll be behind bars soon anyway.

Les cajoles Tyrone into coming on his date, as Lulu is bringing a friend, Gaynor Slack. Norris wonders what's going on with Ashley and Claire. The police tell Shelley that she's wasting their time as she offers no new evidence. Shelley is reluctant to embellish the facts, or to portray Peter as a monster, and tells the police that she's changed her mind and has nothing further to add. Katy and Angela reconcile, but behind Tommy's back for the time being. Roy tells Tracy off for drinking, she retorts that he shouldn't care any more. Tyrone loses his nerve when he sees the look of the two women who he and Les are supposed to be seeing and legs it. Les impresses Lulu with more name-dropping and they end up leaving together for a "private audition". Shelley keeps the truth about her change of heart from Bev and Lucy.

After spotting Claire in a dressing gown, Norris excitedly tells Rita that Claire has obviously spent the night with Ashley at No.4. Peter has spent a restless night and a supportive Ken agrees to accompany him to the police station to hear the CPS's verdict. Shelley agrees with Sunita and Bev that she wants Peter punished, but says she doesn't feel as strongly as Lucy does. Ciaran notes her discomfort. Tracy comes on to a disinterested Steve. Fred returns from Scotland and is quickly filled in on the gossip by Norris. He's pleased at the thought of Ashley and Claire together, but later realises that nothing has gone on. Maya is proving elusive and is giving Dev the runaround. Les and Lulu arrange another early evening rendezvous. In a panic to get back before his 7.00pm curfew, and unable to explain his hurry to Lulu, he leaves a trainer behind. His feet are ruined after running home in his socks, but he's officially in love.

Peter tells his family that he plans to move away. Shelley looks after Simon whilst Lucy visits her solicitor. Martin breaks the ice with Kevin when he asks him to repair his car. Tracy flirts with Steve, but he refuses to drive round with her to brush up on her "knowledge". Peter shows up at the Rovers, and finds Simon there. In the face of Peter's obvious devotion, Shelley can't refuse his request to be allowed to feed Simon. Lucy flips when she returns to find a scene of apparent domestic bliss. Lulu is desperate to track "Clint" down. Claude Beasley, a regular in the Weatherfield Arms informs her that her Clint is actually Les Battersby and tells her where to find him. In the face of Lucy's fury, Peter is determined to stay in Weatherfield to fight to play a part in Simon's life.

Lucy accuses Shelley of trying to get back with Peter behind her back. Les is ecstatic to receive a phone call from Lulu, who tells him that she understands why he hadn't told her about prison, and asks if they can try again. Lucy invites Peter to come round to the flat to talk about Simon. Roy and Hayley ponder that they can't trust Tracy, but they can rely on her desire for money. They plan to ask her to go back to the original agreement. On Peter's arrival at Lucy's flat, she accuses him of getting back with Shelley. Lucy calls Shelley on her mobile to tell her that Peter is there pleading to give their marriage another try. Ashley and Claire have a confused debate about what to do next after their kiss, until they finally decide that Claire should stay as nanny. Kirk, Tyrone and Fiz decide to go to the Weatherfield Arms to check out Lulu.

Lucy begins to write a poison pen letter to Peter. Tracy receives a bill for £400 from her divorce solicitor. Claire arrives for work dressed entirely in black. The atmosphere is awkward. Fiz tells Les that Cilla is only using him and tries to persuade him to finish with her. Steve and Karen have both found wedding venues - Karen at Walcot Manor, Higher Wincham and Steve at Mawdley's Guest House, Whalley Range. Shelley serves Peter at the Rovers, despite Bev's misgivings. She hopes that Lucy is now out of their lives for good. Roy offers Tracy an extra £5,000 to marry him. She wants an extra £10,000 and gives them until that evening to give her their answer. Les takes Cilla to the Rovers, where he makes a great play of being the most popular man in there. Fiz insults her mother and storms out.

Tracy stuns Peter that Steve is the father of her baby. Ken asks Lucy to consider letting Peter see Simon. Tracy confides in Peter how much she has always liked Steve. Peter is appalled when Tracy relates the story of drugging Roy. She and Roy didn't have sex, but she did sleep with Wally Bannister. When Roy and Hayley attacked her, she lost her temper and told them that Roy was the father. Things got out of hand and there was no going back. Shelley has a word with Cilla and Les for getting over amorous in the Rovers. Peter tries to persuade Tracy to keep the baby, until she is forced to admit that she is selling it to the Croppers. He asks her what sort of woman she's become. She breaks down, overcome by shame and guilt. Roy and Hayley's bank manager, Matthew Dowley, agrees to lend them £5,000. Peter tells Tracy to go and tell Steve the truth.

Hayley confides in Roy that she feels left out of things with him and Tracy. Peter is furious with Ken for going to see Lucy. Ashley warns Fred not to interfere between him and Claire. Sally is telling anyone who'll listen to tell them about Rosie's starring role in Grease. Lucy accepts that Peter has been a good dad so far, and agrees that he can see Simon for two afternoons a week. Hayley is thrilled when Fiz tells her that she would make a good mum, and can't resist telling the gobsmacked factory girls about the deal with Tracy. Kirk's love life is suffering since Cilla and Les got together. Fiz agrees to a night of passion, but she storms out of No.5 when she sees Cilla there again.

Tracy and the Croppers go to the register office to arrange their marriage. Roy is wretched when he has to declare himself single. It's Halloween at the Rovers and the regulars are in fancy dress. Steve is disgusted to find out that his werewolf facial hair is made of cuttings from the salon floor. Fred asks Terri Metcalfe, the tarot card reader, if she'll pass Ashley a message from Maxine to start living his life again. Roy and Tracy's wedding date is set for 17th November. Fred asks Ciaran to remove the axe from his head, as it's disturbing Ashley. Terri tells Karen that she'll be married for a long time, but her husband will spend time in prison. Shelley is told she will only have one true love, just as Peter walks in. Les asks Cilla to move in with him. Terri tells Bev she'll marry a man connected with the Rovers.

Shelley is quietly convinced that Terri Metcalfe's tarot reading may be true. Ashley is dismissive of Maxine's "message" and tells Fred not to mention it again. Fiz plans to move into No.5 in an attempt to drive out Cilla, but Les chooses Cilla over Fiz. Lucy allows Peter to look after Simon for a few hours. He bumps into Shelley on the way to the park with Simon. He tells Shelley that he still loves her, but after all his lies, she wants to take things slowly. Lucy watches from her van. She's livid with Peter, but hides her feelings later. Peter reiterates his warning that he'll tell Steve about the baby if Tracy doesn't. Steve is annoyed at how much the wedding will cost him and informs Karen that they can't have a big wedding.

Sally is concerned about her job if Peter sells the bookies. Jack is worried that there won't be a bookies! Steve and Karen make up and she says she's willing to scale down her wedding plans. Steve is relieved. Norris is appalled by the "Dracula Pie" promotion at Elliott & Son, accusing Fred of encouraging cannibalism. Later waxing lyrical in the corner shop about "jobsworths", he gets short shrift from Dev. Peter begs Shelley to consider taking him back and she later considers the proposition. Dev is put out when Maya cancels their date at the opera. Peter again leans on Tracy to tell Steve the truth about the baby. Tracy turns up for her first day as a cab driver at Street Cars and is upset when they tell her that she's on the night shift.

Peter is torn; he wants to be with Shelley but he also wants to be a part of his son's life. Dev gives a delighted Norris and Emily his opera tickets by way of an apology for being rude to Norris. Norris arranges to borrow Rita's car but have a flat tyre on the way there. Tracy embarks on her first night of taxi driving. Eileen and Patrick are put out by the preferential treatment which Steve is giving her. Maya tells Dev she wants to treat him to lunch tomorrow. Dev is delighted. A jealous Sunita feels increasingly annoyed at her relationship with Ciaran as they spend so little time together. Shelley confides in Sunita that she wants to give her relationship with Peter another go. Bev is appalled when Shelley tells her the same thing. Shelley explains that despite everything she still loves him and can't bear life without him. Tracy arrives back at Street Cars having been cheated out of her fare by a plastic dummy.

Peter tells Ken that he's going to live in Spain. Ken is sad but approves. Les and Kirk are suffering from food poisoning and blame Fred's pies. Mike receives a large cheque from Preston King for his order but it is unsigned. He sends Nick to go and get the signature. Tracy thanks Steve for being so kind to her and kisses him on the cheek. Nick tells a shocked Mike that Preston has died after suffering another heart attack. Mike vows to get Preston's wife to sign the cheque instead. Lucy insists that before she and Peter depart he must tell Shelley what he's decided to do. Peter is filled with dread but realises he has no choice.

Fred tries to bribe them with cans of beer. Dev goes for dinner at Maya's flat. He is completely smitten with her but just as he's hoping to lure her into bed, Maya says she's too drunk and asks him to leave. Sunita consoles Shelley who hates herself for being taken in twice by Peter. Peter and Ken set off for the airport hoping to stop Lucy from leaving with Simon. They find Lucy and Peter is shocked when he notices that her tickets are for Sydney, Australia and not for Spain at all. Lucy admits that she and Simon are leaving for Australia where she has family and that there's nothing either Peter or Ken can do to stop her.

Dev calls Maya to try and arrange another date but she says she's busy. Fred launches his new meat pies at the butchers with the Gazette covering the story. It all turns sour when Les and Kirk turn up and tell the Gazette how Fred's pies gave them food poisoning. Ciaran explains to Peter that he can't be seen to be friendly towards him as he values his job at the Rovers. Peter realises that he has no friends left. Steve sends Dev out in a taxi with satnav and Les out with a road atlas. Les arrives back first. Dev realises that he's been set up and agrees to drop the satnav idea for now. Fred tries to use Joshua as a guinea pig on his pies and is shocked when Claire refuses to let him. Ashley backs Claire up.

Fiz arrives at her mum's flat to find that Cilla has gone out and that it was simply a ruse to get Fiz to look after her little brother Chesney. Cilla turns up in the Rovers. Les is delighted to see her and takes her back to No.5 knowing his luck is in. Ciaran tells Maya how Dev proposed to Sunita and still loves her. Maya gives Dev an ultimatum - if he wants a relationship with her then he has to sack Sunita. Fiz decides to take Chesney back to the salon flat with her. Katy is furious with Martin when he turns up late having been in the pub. She'd cooked a special meal for him. Sunita goes out early with the girls but comes back early as she's missing Ciaran.
