Episode 7154 (4th September 2009)

Plot
Steve goes chasing a drug dealer who Becky believes may lead them to Slug. Liz, however, disapproves and while Becky resolves to enjoy what freedom she has left, Liz makes it clear it's no life being married to a prisoner.

When Becky later overhears Liz and Deirdre talking about the effect her imprisonment would have on Steve and Amy, Becky decides to take action. Steve's later stunned to find a note from Becky revealing that she's gone.

Meanwhile, Sally plans a surprise belated dinner party for Kevin's birthday. An uneasy Molly's roped in to help with the food, while Tyrone keeps Kevin occupied in the Rovers. But unable to bear the awkwardness, Molly warns Kevin about his surprise. Kevin's barely able to hide his discomfort as he's greeted by Sally, Molly, Tyrone and a bickering Ashley and Claire.

Emily's upset that Ramsay's cremation will take place in Australia as she's desperate to pay her respects to the man she'd grown so fond of. Rita tackles Norris about the situation and suggests that the arrangements could be changed.

Elsewhere, Claire's still angry with Ashley, believing that he refused the vasectomy in case he ever wants children with another woman; and Connie suggests that Jack should move in with her.
