Plot
Michelle tries to avoid answering the question but Liz makes her talk. Michelle tearfully tells her that after she felt so low on her birthday, she kissed Will but then came to her senses. Carla can't get out of Nick what it was that David might have talked to her about. Tim shows Steve his homebrew set-up as Sally fumes, hearing the noise of the barbeque preparations next door. She sneeringly offers her help when Sharif can't get the new barbeque set assembled. Alya admits to Zeedan that she’s invited Rana along. Liz thanks Michelle for being honest and offers her help, telling her she's the best thing that's ever happened to Steve. Michelle admits that the guilt's killing her and agrees to meet Steve half-way. David sends Nick a text message, asking him to call him urgently. Carla sees it and is puzzled when Nick wants to ignore it. She sends him an answer back, arranging to meet in the Rovers. Mary, Cathy and Rana arrive for the barbecue. Sally sneers at the Nazir's gazebo, telling them that it's going to rain. Kevin and Sophie turn up for the barbeque, at the same time as Kate and Caz. Tim gives Steve caveman lessons and tries his technique on Sally to get his own way about what to have for tea. Unimpressed, Sally tells him to stop embarrassing himself. David and Nick make excuses for the phone calls. David makes Nick join him in the Rovers' yard to ask what the consultant said. Nick tells him that everything is fine. Having discovered that Rana’s a nurse, Mary quizzes her about her many ailments. Sophie questions Caz about her accident. She is evasive leaving Sophie even more suspicious. Michelle is livid when she finds out that Steve has been discussing their love life with Tim. Kevin tells Sophie to keep out of Kate and Caz's business. Steve tells Aidan he feels further apart from Michelle than ever and is told to just be patient with her. Rana can't get Zeedan to warm to her. Sophie voices her suspicions about Caz’s accident to a defensive Kate. It starts to pour on the barbeque, much to Sally's delight. Yasmeen gets defensive when Sharif suggests that she's filling her life with distractions to avoid dealing with her grief over Kal. Back at the flat, Nick accidentally pours boiling water on his hand. He loses his temper and hurls a mug down, breaking it. He’s horrified when he sees that a shard has cut Carla's face and bursts into tears. She tries to comfort him.
