Episode 6483 (2nd February 2007)

Plot
David’s full of himself as he spots Tracy in the street, but her mood’s dark as she realises he’s got her right where he wants her. After spending the morning playing the grieving widow, Tracy decides to pay him a visit. Offering him a car radio, she tries to make out it’s not a bribe, but as she's heading to the Rovers David reveals he hasn’t finished with her yet.

Drowning her sorrows, Tracy ignores the disapproving looks and as the alcohol kicks in, she tells her appalled parents that she’s had enough of playing the victim.

Delighted with their new car, Roy and Hayleydiscuss Becky’s seemingly-changed ways and suggest giving her the money left over from the comic sale. But Becky’s not quite the reformed character they think she is, as she meets Slug in the Rovers. Slug can’t see the attraction in regular work and after a few drinks, Becky’s starting to find his arguments very persuasive. So when he suggests injecting a little excitement into the evening by borrowing the Croppers' car, she doesn’t hesitate for long.

The spark is clearly gone from Joanne and Adam’s relationship as her affair with Liam hots up. Joanne’s clearly smitten and when Liam offers her a bit of no strings after hours fun she can’t help but resist, even though she would like a little bit more from him.

Elsewhere, Sarah’s happy when Jason promises her a slap up meal for her birthday; and Chesney is finding all Fiz’s mothering a bit strange having being used to Cilla’s harder approach.
