Episode 7933 (16th August 2012)

Plot
Gary and Izzy attend an adoption information session. Michelle is annoyed when Deirdre tells her she had to tell Tracy about her and Steve as Steve wouldn't. Mary is upset when Norris doesn't try to stop her leaving. As Karl starts at the factory, Eva doesn't like the fact that Rob gave him a job, reminding him of what he did to Stella. Hayley persuades Mary to stay in Weatherfield, telling her that Roy genuinely cares for her. Mary says she liked Roy as he treats her like a normal human being but she got carried away. Gary and Izzy are disappointed when they're told they have to wait until twelve months after a miscarriage before being considered for adoption. When Izzy asks if Gary's criminal record and PTSD will rule them out, they're told they're very unlikely to be considered. Steve goes to explain himself to Tracy but they end up rowing. He says he's only sorry for not being truthful. Gary thinks Izzy has ruined their chances of adopting but Izzy think they'll have found out everything eventually. Tracy vows to get even with Steve and Michelle. Gary tells Katy their only option now is surrogacy but it'll be costly. Katy offers to be a surrogate. Roy is pleased when Mary says she's staying. Gary and Katy tell Izzy their idea but Izzy thinks it's ridiculous. Katy calls her an ungrateful cow.
