Episode 6719 (30th December 2007)

Plot
It’s the morning of Sarah and Jason's departure for Italy and while Eileen and Gail fuss around them making sure they're ready, David is still fuming and refuses to stick around to see them off. As they arrive at the station, Sarah’s gloating at her triumph over David and stuns Jason when she admits that she planted the drugs on him and she’s proud of it. Jason's horrified as he realises the move wasn’t about a new start for them, but about getting one up on David. Shocked at how devious she’s been, he tells her she's not the girl he fell in love with, and she’s just as bad as David. Jason’s adamant that they need to talk about this and they can’t go to Italy, but Sarah’s resolute: if they go back David' s won.

As she pleads with Jason to get on the train, she's furious when he refuses to budge from the platform. Gutted, Jason arrives back on the street and reveals to a shocked Gail that David was telling the truth all along.

It’s the day before the wedding and Jim is helping Liz dress the Rovers ready for the reception. He wheedles his way into her emotions when he draws back memories of happy times they spent together and later, when he playfully smacks her bottom, it's clear there's still chemistry between them. Liz has been thrown into emotional turmoil by Jim, who knows he's awoken forbidden feelings in his ex-wife.

Meanwhile, Rosie is still being shunned by her family and she sees Fiz on the street and decides to apologise for any upset she's caused. However, when Fiz tears into her for ruining her life, Kevin intervenes. As he leads Rosie away she thanks him for rescuing her but he asserts that he did it for Fiz's sake not hers.

Elsewhere, after a lonely Christmas Day, Jerry is delighted when Kayleigh and Finlay return from their mum's and he sets about creating another day of festivities for all the family.
