Episode 8018 (14th December 2012)

Plot
Eileen accuses Stella of taking advantage of her son. Jason think it's ridiculous as he's nearly thirty and they're doing nothing wrong but Stella finds the situation embarrassing and leaves. Chesney tells Tyrone he heard him and Fiz plotting. Tyrone denies he's having an affair. Gail sees Eileen shouting at Stella and passes the news about Jason and Stella onto Karl. Simon goes missing from school. Leanne fears Peter has taken him but Peter swears he's not with him. Tyrone tells Fiz that Chesney suspects something. The lollipop men appear en masse and block the Street Cars cab depot. Simon appears at Manchester Airport and catches up with Peter and Carla. Peter and Carla plan to leave him with the airport police but Peter wants to have a few minutes alone with Simon first. Brian is summoned to settle the dispute between Steve and Dennis. Steve admits he lied and Dennis hasn't been bothering the children. Dennis celebrates his victory. Kirk hasn't sold a single turkey. Craig offers to help for a cut of the profits. Peter realises he can't leave Simon and asks Carla not to get on the plane. She is upset at Peter changing his mind and leaves without him. Stella tells Jason they can't see each other as people will talk about them. Jason makes her see that it shouldn't matter what people think. Stella announces to the pub regulars, including Karl, that she is having a fling with Jason and is having the time of her life. Fiz admits to Chesney that she's helping Tyrone with a problem but denies having an affair. He agrees to drop it. Peter tells the Barlows that being a dad is his priority now.
