Plot
As Steve doubts his night could get any worse after slaps from both Liz and from Eileen, his eyes suddenly fall on Vernon who has arrived unannounced with a bunch of wilting flowers and a balloon that reads ’I luv Liz.’ Liz wastes no time in telling her ex where he can shove them, but he attempts to win her round by telling her that something inside him died when she chucked him out and that he has even been forced to quit the band because without her he has no rhythm! Although Liz does not trust him, she quite enjoys this public display of affection after a while and by the end of they night they are back together. As Danny begins to talk weddings in the Rovers, it’s too much for Jamie who follows Frankie into the toilets and tries to kiss her. They are disturbed by Sarah who has no idea what’s just been going on and congratulates her on the engagement. Jamie then leaves the pub sharply followed by an irate Sean who is sick of seeing Jamie playing twisted games with his father. Sean gives Jamie some home truths and the two men nearly fight over Sean's opinions. They later make friends but Jamie finally admits he cannot carry on like this anymore, and has no choice but to leave Weatherfield for good. Elsewhere, at the literacy classes, Becky starts a fight and Hayley is forced to play peacemaker. She tells her to go outside to cool down, and then admits to Becky that she thinks it’s good that she is trying to better herself with the classes, and urges her to continue improving her life. Meanwhile, back at work, a hurt Kelly tells Hayley to keep Becky away from Weatherfield or else.
