Nick looks through the Gazette for a review of the bistro but can't find it. Leanne texts to say it's in the Manchester Evening News and it states that the food is sensational. Sally suggests to Tim that he gets the contract to clean the windows of the new florists. Tyrone is on edge as it's the day of Hope's operation to remove the tumour. Aidan rows with Johnny in the factory over who runs operations. Carla intervenes, sick of the arguing, and Johnny tells his son he's sticking around. Roy tries to find who Cathy's house insurers are. Tracy prepares for the opening, planning to ask Robert to do the catering. Robert gloats over the review. An upbeat Mary does early spring cleaning on No.7, annoying Dev. Tyrone's car breaks down.

An embarrassed Mary grabs it, making out it’s hers. Ken and Todd help prepare the shop. Tim gets the contract from Tracy. Tyrone is short-changed by the hospital vending machine.
