Episode 7144 (17th August 2009)

Plot
Steve desperately tries to defend Becky but in Liz's eyes, she's guilty and doesn't want her son hooked up with a drug dealer. Later, as Blanche and Norris gossip about Becky and her 'drug dealing', Hayley's quick to defend her, convinced of her innocence. Becky, however, knows that it's going to take more than the support of her friends to clear her name this time.

Later, Steve confronts DC Hooch and offers him £2,000 to leave Becky alone, but Hooch refuses.

Meanwhile, Molly and Tyrone return from their holiday and at the earliest opportunity, Kevin grabs a few moments with Molly. He tells her that it'd be for the best if she pulled out of the fun run to avoid them having to spend time together. Affronted, Molly suggests that he pull out instead. Guilt-ridden about his adultery, Kevin suggests to Sally they should consider moving to Cheshire. Sally's thrilled, while Kevin secretly wants to be as far away from his problems as possible.

Jim and Andy persuade Liz to reopen the pub and attempt to reassure her that trade will soon return to normal.

Ramsay announces that he's moving back to Australia, sparking mixed reaction. Emily's disappointed, while Norris couldn't be happier.

Elsewhere, Ashley offers to help Claire organise the fete. He secretly hopes to get back into her good books before breaking the news that he never went through with his vasectomy.
