Episode 7178 (5th October 2009)

Plot
Chesney receives his letter from John and Fiz tells her brother how she hopes that they'll all live together at No.5 but Chesney's not keen. Sophie calls round and informs Fiz that John's written to everyone on the Street and Sally's called a meeting in the Rovers. Fiz can't believe John's played into Sally's hands and knows that she has to do something.

At the Rovers, Sally's in full swing at the anti-Stape meeting that she's called and urges the locals not to allow John back on the street. The mood, however, changes when Fiz turns up. Standing on a chair, she delivers a heartfelt speech, appealing to the residents to show some compassion and understanding. Much to Sally's dismay, Fiz is rewarded with a warm round of applause…

Leanne apologises to Peter for missing Simon's recorder recital and promises that she won't let him or Simon down again. But she tells him that her job is a nightmare and she's spent the day trying to clean up her boss's mistakes.

Meanwhile, as Molly and Kevin leave for 'Glasgow', Sophie asks her dad if he has something to tell them and points out that it's the 'GlasGAY Ten K'. Molly quickly covers, explains that she supports gay charities. Once at the bus stop, Kevin reveals to Molly that he's actually booked them into a posh hotel in Chester so that they can be a 'normal couple' for 24 hours!

The pair spend the afternoon in bed but Molly's upset, wishing they could be together forever. Kevin's disappointed and points out that they mustn't hurt Sally or Tyrone and should savour whatever moments they can get together.

Elsewhere, Graeme washes the windows at the corner shop and breaks the doorbell on purpose. Umed's fuming, while Dev is grateful and offers to pay Graeme for his hard work.
