Episode 8016 (13th December 2012)

Plot
Carla stays with Michelle but doesn't tell Peter. Beth asks Kirk for an expensive necklace for Christmas. Roy considers hiring someone to help out at the cafe. Tyrone suggests Fiz as she is out of work. Peter finds out about Carla's whereabouts from Michelle. Stella gets flowers from Karl but tells Mandy they're from Vince Lonsdale. While returning them, she is cajoled by Karl into agreeing to meet him in a bar. Fiz is thrilled when Roy gives her a job but Chesney is curious why Tyrone would recommend her given recent events. Carla tells Peter she feels she's back at square one now that she's back in Weatherfield and she's definitely returning to Los Angeles as she was happier there. Peter decides to return with her and tells Leanne. She refuses to do his dirty work and makes him tell Simon he won't be around for Christmas himself. Kirk can't afford the necklace. Chesney puts him on to someone at the market selling 200 frozen turkeys. Karl is becoming bored with Sunita. Stella dresses up to meet Karl but ends up spending the evening in Jason's company. Malcolm Lagg implores Dennis not to give up his job and suggests they fight fire with fire. Simon tells Peter he doesn't want to see him again when Peter tells him he's leaving. Jason kisses Stella and tells her he fancies her like mad. She is surprised at his interest as she's old enough to be his mother but he says age is just a number. She ignores her phone when Karl calls and leads Jason up to her bedroom. Fiz thanks Tyrone for getting her the job. Chesney hears them talking. Carla tells Peter she's found a flight back to LA leaving tomorrow.
