Plot
Sean arrives in London with a giant teddy bear for Dylan. Todd arrives at No.11 and asks his boyfriend Jools not to judge him for his meagre origins. Gail isn't happy to see him in the Street. Sean visits Violet, who is in the middle of a row with Jamie Baldwin. He's surprised to see his ex Marcus Dent there. Eileen is affronted when Todd says he's booked a hotel. She convinces him to go to the Rovers. Marcus tells Sean he got friendly with Jamie and Violet when he moved to London. They take Dylan sight-seeing. Todd is embarrassed when Eileen and Gail snipe at each other. When Eileen drunkenly smashes a glass, he leaves the Rovers. Marcus admits he came round today especially to see Sean. Sean is pleased. Eileen calls Todd a snob. He tells her his life has changed. Sean and Marcus return to Violet's as Jamie drives off. Violet tells Sean she's been unhappy with Jamie for a while. He tries to comfort her and offers to take Dylan off her hands for a while but she accuses him of trying to steal her son. His words of encouragement fall on deaf ears as Violet reminds Sean that the Violet he knew is gone. He accuses her of being a homophobe by not wanting to pollute Dylan with his mannerisms. He spends time with Marcus before returning to his hotel. The next morning, Todd and Jools return to pick up Jools's car. Jason discovers they were going to leave without saying goodbye to Eileen and pins Todd against the wall. Todd tells Eileen that he was only worried about Jools judging him but Jools likes her, and he loves her. They make up. Marcus arrives at the bus station to see Sean but he's too late.
