Kevin's horrified when Sally and Tim turn up at the bistro and Diane asks them to join their table. Sally’s instantly impressed with Diane and wonders how she and Kevin met.

Sinead makes Sean talk to a man he spots in the club. When Sally suggests Diane come back to her house for a nightcap, Tim and Kevin desperately cover, using a wasp sting as the best excuse they can think of. Billy Mayhew, the man in the club, tells Sean he's just moved to Weatherfield from Peterborough. Diane nips to the ladies' and Tim and Kevin have a chance to tell Sally that she's the sofa's owner. Feeling guilty, Sally has no choice but to join in the deception or lose the sofa. Billy tells Sean that he's the new vicar at St. Mary's Church. They swap numbers.
