Todd brings some sandwiches to Jason. Jason tells Sarah it's nice to see her smiling. Kelly Crabshaw is back after not getting married. Her husband-to-be slept with her chief bridesmaid after catching her with a cocktail waiter. Kelly asks Danny for her job back but is told she has been replaced by Sean. Leanne is still flirting with Dev. She tries to kiss him again, and he sacks her. Dev then explains to Sunita what had happened and she believes him. Karen is counting the money she has collected and Steve tells her he wants the old Karen back. She says there is no old Karen, only this one. Danny winds Kelly and Sean up about who can have the job then tells them they can both work at Underworld. Tracy goes to the cab office to speak to Steve and tells him she has never stopped loving him. He tells her he doesn't want her, not now, not ever. Karen gives Emily the money she has collected - £82.27. Ciaran asks Tracy to come and see the restaurant but she tells him no. Karen and Steve are having their dinner when the bell goes - it's Tracy. She gives Karen £50 for the charity telling her it's the money Steve gives her every week as paternity guilt money.
