Plot
Michelle's late for work after her night of passion with Luke. She lies to Peter as to why she's late but he can see straight through it and it's clear that he's jealous of her burgeoning relationship.

When Luke arrives asking Michelle to spend the day with him, Peter refuses her the time off. He then decides that it's time to make his own move and presents her with a good luck card containing Eurostar vouchers for Ryan to visit while she's on tour. When Michelle then calls at Peter's to thank him, he admits how much he feels for her and begs her to stay in Weatherfield. However Michelle rejects his advances and leaves.

Fiz feels destroyed by John's rejection of her the previous day. But as the factory girls gossip about Fiz's relationship with Stape, she refuses to accept that it's over. Fiz is all too aware of the repercussions of what she's doing but she can't help herself as she sends a letter to John in prison.

As Sian and Sophie discuss Ryan's gig, Sian reveals her worry that Ryan might go off with Tamsin Beasely as she's made it obvious she's interested. Sophie tries to reassure Sian but it's still weighing on her mind and as she and Ryan share a kiss in the ginnel, she tells him that tonight's the night.

Blanche's hips are hurting because of Peter's stairs but seeing a way to reclaim his flat, he suggests that Blanche uses the situation to her advantage to get some home improvements made at the Barlows'. Blanche knows that Ken and Deirdre want her to move back in, so she tries her hand at bribery.
