Plot[]

Part One: Gary packs items for Laura, including a framed photo of Kelly. The girl herself is in denial and more interested in attending the North West Regional Stylist Awards during the day. Nick closes the bistro for the entire day to host the final of the chess tournament. Faye recuperates on the sofa, admitting she's suffering feelings of confusion. Emma dreads telling Steve about her move to Australia. Daisy isn't impressed when Daniel tells her he's planned them a trip to a museum and agrees provided they also go shopping for a planned camping trip. Elsie is leaving Toyah later in the day. Sam prepares for his game. Dolled up the nines, Maria and Kelly are ready to set off for the awards. The hospital contacts Gary with the news that Laura only has hours left, but Kelly refuses to go and see her. Faye breaks the news to Tim that she's not pregnant. Jon suggests to Emma that she move to London with him today in order that they can prepare for their move down under. Waiting for the start of the ceremony, Kelly starts to knock back the complimentary wine. Maria's annoyed but can see that she's drinking to hide her pain. Gary goes to the hospital alone where he's told the end in near.

Part Two: Gary sits with Laura. They cry about Kelly not being there for her. Faye has had tests but must wait a few weeks for the results. Jalena just makes it in time for the game. Tracy tries to train a disinterested Amy about flowers. Steve overhears when Emma breaks the news of her move to the two women. A delighted Kelly wins the award and is offered a job by salon owner Conor Gorman. Maria tries to stop her celebrating with champagne. Jalena wins the game. Sam can't bring himself to shake her hand and retreats to the bistro office. After her day out with Daniel, Daisy is furious when Nicky calls in at the Rovers to tell Daniel she has after all been offered the TA position after the successful candidate pulled out. Steve, Tracy, and Amy go with Emma to Speed Daal. Steve objects to her move on the basis that it's too soon after Curtis. He insists on meeting Jon and orders Emma to summon him. Gary turns up at the awards to plead with Kelly to go with him to see her mother.

Part Three: Kelly insists on having her winner's interview for social media, but she is half-drunk and criticises her upbringing, saying she can't wait to be an orphan. Jon turns up at Speed Daal to an aggressive greeting from an overprotective Steve and Emma has to step in. Sam has locked himself in the office and Nick blames himself for not being a good dad. Emma tells Steve she's going whether he likes it or not. Simon finds an upset Kelly in Victoria Gardens. She tells him that her mum killed her dad. Back home, Emma is in tears but determined to go. Faye advises her to clear things up with Steve before she goes. Hearing that Jalena doesn't have any friends, Sam is happy to be a chess buddy with her. Gary feels guilty for Laura dying alone as Kelly thinks she's a murderer. He decides to do whatever it takes to put things right.

Part Four: Steve feels sorry for himself. Emma calls to see him. Simon counsels Kelly to change her mind and see her mum, despite all her fears. Emma persuades Steve that she's right to grab life with both hands and he should let his daughters live their lives. He gives her his blessing. Maria sits with Laura as she spends her final moments with Kelly's photo in her hands. Maria thanks her for all she's done for them. Jenny advises Daisy not to play the jealous girlfriend. Daisy thinks Nicky is hiding something. Emma says goodbye to her flatmates. Kelly changes her mind and wants to say goodbye to Laura. Nick tells Leanne that he's not doing as good a job with Sam as Roy is in helping the boy. Hope teases Sam that he's got a girlfriend. Craig tells Faye he would like to try for a baby as he was looking forward to being a father. Audrey, Gemma and the McDonalds say goodbye to Emma and she and Jon leave. Kelly arrives at the hospital to find that Laura has just died. She cries bitter tears as she hugs her mum.
