Episode 7341 (17th May 2010)

Plot
Steve's shocked to receive a visiting order from Tracy that's addressed to Becky. Presuming that she wants to talk about Amy, Becky agrees to go along. Before she leaves, though, Steve warns her that Tracy's a manipulative liar. Becky, however, is convinced that she can handle her.

At the prison, Tracy calmly makes Becky an offer - she'll give the adoption agency a good reference so long as Amy remains a Barlow and Steve writes to her governor insisting that Amy needs to see more of her. When Becky questions her commitment to Amy, insults begin to fly. Losing her temper, Becky lunges over the table and grabs Tracy by her hair. As the guard drags Becky away, she shouts that Tracy can forget seeing Amy from now on. With that, Tracy promptly retorts that she and Steve can kiss goodbye to their chances of adopting.

Back on the Street, David has his eye fixed on the trial date. However, when David sees Gail's job being advertised at the surgery and hears Nick discussing financing the house, he worries that everyone presumes his mother will be sent down.

Meanwhile, when Liz admits that she had a hand in Teresa's departure, Lloyd presumes that she wants to rekindle their romance. But as he begins to let her down gently, Liz assures him that he has the wrong end of the stick and wishes him luck with Cheryl.

Elsewhere, Roy apologises to Hayley but still doesn't understand why she's so upset about his unromantic proposal; and Lloyd's delighted when he wins the taxi contract for Cheryl's strip club Secrets.
