Episode 8023 (21st December 2012)

Plot
Nick arrives late at Bessie Street School for Simon's nativity play. Tyrone and Fiz have sex. Tyrone tells Fiz he doesn't regret it. Rob tells the factory staff he's put an offer in on the factory. Tina witnesses Tyrone and Fiz kissing. Craig tells Kirk he sold his iPod for him to give Beth. Nick can't resist accusing Peter of making the hoax booking. They argue during the performance and Nick thumps Peter when Peter tells him he can embarrass himself but not to embarrass his son. The play is stopped. Leanne isn't happy with Nick. Tyrone tries to speak to Tina in the Rovers but Kirsty walks in, forcing him to say he's waiting for Kevin. Leanne accuses Nick of not trusting her, while Nick thinks she trivialises his feelings and tells her he can't stand Peter playing happy families. Leanne calls him an idiot. Kirk passes on Beth's suggestion to Maria that he, Beth and Craig move into the salon flat. Kylie realises Eva was behind the hoax call. Eva doesn't deny it. Michelle warns Rob he'll be in trouble with Carla if she finds out he fiddled the accounts. Rob isn't worried. Tyrone manages to speak to Tina alone. She tells him her lips are sealed and is annoyed when he tries to deny there's anything between him and Fiz. He comes clean about his plan to marry Kirsty so he can gain parental rights over Ruby. He apologises for making her and Tommy out to be liars over Kirsty. Maria agrees to Kirk, Beth and Craig staying but only until Christmas. Tina gives Tyrone and Fiz a spare key to her flat so they have somewhere they can be alone together. Tyrone and Fiz confess their love for each other.
