Episode 7335 (7th May 2010)

Plot
Becky's gutted that she's probably blown her only chance to adopt, while Steve tries to resolve the situation by rushing after Dawn. Blaming Becky's outburst on her nerves and strong desire to adopt, Steve begs Dawn to give them a second chance.

As Dawn re-enters the room, she overhears Becky breaking the news about Blanche's death to Amy with love and sensitivity. Dawn's touched and continues the visit, with Becky now firmly on her best behaviour.

After the visit, Becky's overjoyed as Steve assures her that nothing will obstruct their plans for a perfect family. Meanwhile, Tracy begs the prison governor for permission to attend Blanche's funeral, claiming that she needs to be there for her daughter. The governor eventually relents and agrees that she can go.

Meanwhile, Ken continues to be strong for Deirdre and it suddenly hits him how much he'll miss Blanche. Tracy calls home and reveals that she's asked for a day release to attend the funeral.

Izzy and Kirk's date is going well, as the conversation flows back and forth with ease. However, it's not long before Izzy jumps down Liz's throat, accusing her of talking down to her. Izzy then bosses Kirk into applying for the machinist job at Underworld. With that, Kirk begins to wonder what he's let himself in for.

Elsewhere, Sean decides to track down Violet, Jamie and his biological son Dylan.
