Gary snaps at Anna and tells her to back off, calling her an idiot. Sian shows Kevin compassion and offers to look after Jack while he settles things with Tyrone. At No.1, Tracy explains that the forensic expert from her trial had falsified qualifications so she appealed her conviction and was granted bail. She changes her plans to wait until Christmas Day to see Amy as she likes the idea of annoying Steve and Becky. Gail is reminded of being in prison. The chaplain performs Hope's blessing. Kevin tells Tyrone he'll return Jack if he wants. Steve assures Becky that Tracy won't want Amy but Tracy soon arrives asking for her daughter. She's dismissive of Becky, calling her Steve's squeeze. Leanne tells Peter she knows about him and Carla but believes that nothing happened. Tyrone attacks Kevin for laying a guilt trip on him. He says he wants a clean slate. Sally is angry at Kevin for playing on Sian's sympathy and asks the Websters to show a united front against him. Tracy tells Steve that Amy will be having Christmas dinner with her but Steve has already made plans. Gail arrives and tackles Tracy about trying to get her sent down.
