Plot
Liz tells Steve she's booked him a doctor's appointment for later and she'll be going with him. Tracy is upset to hear about the award ceremont at the Marbury Hall Hotel as she and Rob had wanted to have their reception there. Gary goes to court for his sentencing. Alya asks Andrea for a driver for the minibus. Steve volunteers. Beth convinces Carla to let Tracy take Izzy's place on the bus when Izzy drops out. Luke hears Michael going on about the baby to Andy and Steph. He's disappointed in Steph but agrees not to tell their mother. Beth falls while dancing and hurts her ankle. She's delayed boarding the bus and tells Kirk to hold it for her. Michelle isn't happy to see Steve behind the wheel. Carla, Michelle, Tracy, Kirk, Sinead, Maddie, Sean, Julie, Alya, Sally and Steve leave for Cheshire. Steve ignores Kirk's plea to wait for Beth. The bus passes Beth as she leaves the house. Liz is annoyed that Steve has ducked out of his doctor's appointment. Yasmeen supervises Roy as he starts his community service at Jamila House. Gary is given 240 hours community service. Roy is keen to draw a line under the escapade but Anna continues to give him the cold shoulder. Kirk realises he's picked up Beth's mobile by mistake. A car driven by some boy racers cuts up the minibus, causing Steve to almost crash into the car in front. He brakes in time but the passengers are shaken up. Steph is embarrassed when Luke warns Andy. Steph wants to tell him the truth but Andy insists on leaving it until after Michael's operation. Sinead undoes her seatbelt to pick up a phone from under one of the seats. The boy racers chase the bus and drive dangerously in front of it. Steve ends up having to swerve to avoid them, running the bus off the road. The bus flips over and lands on its side.
