Episode 7143 (17th August 2009)

Plot
Becky's released on bail and is convinced that no one will collect her from the station or want anything to do with her when she returns to the Street. But as she's leaving, Steve arrives and tells her that he's been there half the night, before apologising for ever disbelieving her.

On her return home, things take a turn for the worse when Kelly makes a sarcastic remark, while Liz tells Becky that everyone thinks she's a drugs dealer and that she's not welcome in the pub. Becky storms off feeling deeply hurt.

Sophie encourages a reluctant Kevin to start training again in preparation for the fun run. Under pressure, Kevin agrees when Sophie blames Molly for going on holiday. Sophie suggests to her dad that he could raise funds for her favourite charities with the sponsorship.

Norris is frustrated with Ramsay for mixing up the paper deliveries. He's quick to point out that one of their customers has cancelled her order as a result. Ramsay makes things worse by breaking Norris's favourite mug, infuriating Norris further. Later, Ramsay presents Norris with a new mug but he's unimpressed and tells an astonished Rita that he intends to sack Ramsay as he's not up to the job.

Lloyd demands answers from Liz as to why she didn't return from Spain. She explains that she feels like she's been through a mid-life crisis and that she's too old for him, which is why she wants to end their relationship. Lloyd's upset by her suggestion.

Claire decides to raise money for the DVT support group which she attends. Rita suggests that she organises a fete and Claire thinks that it's a brilliant idea.

Elsewhere, Tina's fed up with her dad's attitude and gives him a piece of her mind, telling him to pull himself together.
