Episode 7497 (24th December 2010)

Plot
Kevin looks forward to getting to know his Jack, while Tyrone throws all of Jack's things into a bin bag. Peter leaves hospital in a wheelchair and invites Nick for a drink over Christmas, thanking him for saving his life. Becky hopes that Steve will forgive her. Fiz asks the Hospital Chaplain to bless Hope. The police tell Nick that faulty equipment caused the explosion, so he's off the hook. Owen presses Steve about the roof repairs. A surveyor calls at the Rovers. Amy overhears Becky telling Claire that she paid Kylie for Max. Rosie celebrates her birthday but won't go home as Kevin is there. Becky thinks Steve wants a divorce but he's having the Rovers remortgaged. Maria delivers Jack's things to Kevin. A memorial carol service takes place on the Street, with Ken reading a poem:


 * ''If someone could direct me to a street where I could stand
 * ''Cobbles beneath my feet tearful with rain;
 * ''The shadows of my hopes behind the stained- glass windows of a pub, ghosts –
 * ''I would turn up the collar of my coat, walk, number each small, terraced house by heart:
 * ''Birthplace; neighbours – hardman, hussy, haridan, hustler, hero, heroine –
 * ''Threshold, bride and groom as clueless of next year as Christmas Eve;
 * ''Or exit-place, a hearse, a raw and local grief...
 * ''Then I'd retrace my steps, perhaps a baby's cry sharp as a sudden star nailed to the sky,
 * ''To stand now in this backstreet bar, nursing a beer
 * ''All my griefs, my gifts, and glad I live here.

Sally accuses Kevin of trying to use Jack to win her back but tells him she hates him even more. A taxi pulls into Coronation Street and Tracy walks out, to the crowd's astonishment (and horror).
