Episode 6954 (24th November 2008)

Plot
Steve is relieved when Michelle announces that she is taking her mum and dad out in the morning, which is just the solution that Steve and Becky need to allow him to go to the court case. But his relief is short lived when Michelle presents him with a list of things to do whilst she's out.

As the day continues, Becky is faced with more and more evidence of how much she is asking Steve to risk. She hears Liz talking about how Michelle has grown on her and overhears Barry saying how much Steve is part of the Connor family. It's at this point that Becky reaches a difficult decision.

Amber won't listen to Dev as he tries to stop her from leaving. She says goodbye to Darryl who has been left jobless and homeless, knowing that he may not be there when she returns. But it isn't long before Dev realises that he can't run the kebab shop alone and has to go cap-in-hand to a relieved Darryl.

Hayley is raring to help Roy out at the cafe, but Roy has everything sorted leaving her feeling somewhat redundant.

It isn't until both Becky and Fiz makes it clear to her how much they struggled with their problems when she wasn't around, that she starts to realise she might have a talent she can put to good use.

Elsewhere, Gary is annoyed when he realises he did David and Graeme a favour by getting rid of the stolen car.
