Steph finds the car parked at the marina. Victoria tells Alec she's not happy at the Rovers; everything is so ugly. Curly is annoyed when Reg plays golf all day, leaving him to run the store. Reg puts him in charge of the Bettabuys float in the Weatherfield Carnival. Alec decides to ask the Johnson's if they want Vicky. Steph realises she's been selfish.
