Episode 6987 (9th January 2009)

Plot
It’s the night of Molly and Tyrone’s stag and hen dos and the girls head for Dev’s flat, while the boys hit the less-than-salubrious surroundings of the Flying Horse.

At Dev’s, the sophisticated tone of the party is spoilt somewhat by the arrival of Jackie Dobbs but Molly insists she can stay as long as she behaves herself. An excited Graeme is doing the catering but ends up getting dragged into a whole lot more.

Meanwhile, Tara can’t help but notice that Amber seems a little disappointed by her birthday present from Dev.

Over at the Flying Horse, meanwhile, the lads are enjoying a few beers and some jokes at Tyrone’s expense. Tyrone's night is ruined, however, when Auntie Pam calls to ask him to do one last job for him to get the money for a new pigeon coop for Jack. Tyrone agrees to help for Jack's sake but soon finds himself agreeing to a meeting at 1pm on his wedding day.

A devastated Becky watches Michelle and Steve head off for their night out before handing in her notice. Steve tries to talk to her as she leaves the pub but she’s had enough and heads back to an empty café where she sits alone in the darkness and reflects on being let down by yet another man.
