Episode 6111 (9th September 2005)

Plot
Blanche warns Deirdre not to jeopardise Tracy's chances at the hearing. Steve and Tracy get a grilling at the hearing, with both sides airing all their past wrong doings. It turns into a slanging match until the judge takes control and retires to deliberate. The judge reaches his verdict. Whilst Steve's behaviour has been less than exemplary, he's satisfied that he's been provoked by Tracy's deceitful behaviour. Steve is jubilant when he's granted parental responsibility and defined contact (detailed to be decided shortly), whilst Tracy is left devastated.

Charlie tries to unsettle Shelley by suggesting a celebratory drink in the Rovers at lunchtime. Shelley wants to invite Bev, and with Zack there, Charlie can't refuse. Bev interprets Shelley's invitation as a sign she's finally rid of Charlie, and rushes to the Rovers. She's devastated to find Charlie at the heart of the celebration, smugly asking her to toast the happy couple. Shelley pleads with Bev to bury the hatchet and forgive her.

Meanwhile, Les upsets Steve by advising him to play dirty in court. Molly refuses to accept Fiz's apology. She is running the kennels like clockwork, amazing Tyrone with her dog whisperer abilities. He refuses to listen when Fiz tries to cast doubt on Molly.

Elsewhere, Charlie more or less orders Jason to be his best man.
