Steve goes to collect Ryan from athletics only to find he's already left. Ryan later turns up at the Rovers with Michelle's brother Liam Connor. She introduces them to Steve.

When Liz says she's having a night out with her mate Bren, Vernon quietly suggests to Michelle they could spend the night together. Michelle makes it clear she's not interested but thick-skinned Vernon fails to get the message.

Vernon's strips down to his underpants thinking Michelle's up for a night of passion. He's horrified when he enters the back room of the pub to find the joke's on him and Sean and Betty are there too. Michelle tells him he can stick his lousy band and goes home. Liz arrives home early and senses something's gone on.

Meanwhile, Norris is furious with Rita when he finds out she's been benefiting from promotional gifts - a free pen and a set of steak knives, without telling him.
