Plot
Rita is stunned by Tommy's revelation. The battery goes on Kirk's van, forcing him and Beth to wait for a recovery truck. Sharing Tommy's discomfort about the surrogacy, Rita goes to see Tina and offers her a cheque for £15,000 so she won't have to do it, but Tina refuses to accept it. Lloyd returns Mandy's bracelet but after a few minutes she asks him to leave. He doesn't know what he's done to upset her. Tommy tells Rita he's leaving. She urges him to support Tina despite his disapproval. Kirk and Beth get to know each other and end up having a good time. Owen reminds Tommy how big a sacrifice Tina is making for him. Beth kisses Kirk when he says she'll find Mr. Right. They part with a handshake. Tommy returns to Tina.
