Plot
Steve devises a new plan. Mary recruit Norris to wait tables at the cafe as Anna has walked out. Lewis accepts Gloria's job offer. Steve tells Ryan he admires him for standing by Tracy. Ryan says he's thought about proposing to her. Steve encourages him, hoping Tracy will turn him down. Nick has to send Kylie home as takings at the bistro are down. Lewis finds Gloria distressed. She says she's dying. Ryan gathers Michelle and the Barlows and asks Tracy to marry him. Gloria tells Lewis her condition was diagnosed in Spain and now it's been confirmed. She asks for secrecy. Tracy tells Ryan they can't marry as he's just a kid. She says she's not pregnant anymore. Ryan thinks she was never pregnant in the first place and breaks up with her. Steve is thrilled that his plan has worked and goes to comfort Michelle. Norris gets fed up with Mary lording it over him and he walks out of the cafe. Kylie decides to tip off the council that the cafe has been selling alcohol even though the customers brought it with them. Steve tells Michelle their break-up was a bluff to force Tracy's hand. Michelle is horrified and dumps him, saying he's as bad as Tracy.
