Plot[]
Part One: Ryan feels bad that he can't contribute to the flat bills. Liv texts him again asking if he's changed his mind about signing up to Ovidz. Billy presents Paul with an engagement ring for his birthday. Ronnie tells Debbie that he's bought the Newton & Ridley shares. Over breakfast, George makes it clear to Todd that their working relationship is over as he's defected to Rest Easy, and he doesn't want him setting foot in the funeral parlour again. Paul and Gemma wish each other a happy birthday. He finds out that they're having a joint party at the bistro and only agrees to go as it's family only. Sean thinks Ryan should return to working at the Rovers as he helps sort out a problem with the pumps. Daisy offers to buy him a drink when he won't take any money for his work. Tyrone suggests inviting Kevin and Abi round for lunch to meet Cassie properly. Ryan is upset when he finds out from Daniel that he and Daisy are moving into the builder's yard flat today.
Part Two: Paul is upset to see that friends as well as family are waiting in the bistro. Gemma has smuggled a bottle in as the prices are so expensive. Bryn is hyperactive and Paul offers to take him to the precinct playpark. Ryan has failed to turn up for Daisy's drink. She's upset about his state of mind when Glenda shows her the topless photos of himself that he's uploaded online. Over dinner, Cassie isn't pleased when Abi reveals she's a recovering addict and thinks Tyrone has invited them round in order that a success story can be shown as an example to her. Daisy calls to see Ryan. He assures her that he's fine and gives her a bottle of wine as a flat-warming gift. George isn't pleased to overhear Todd on the phone dealing with Mr Beetham on behalf of Rest Easy. Ronnie masks his panic when he finds out that Ed has asked Dee-Dee to help with the legal admin for their new company. Paul tells Bryn that it's time to return to the party, but the child runs off. Paul tries to go after him but crashes to the ground. A passing Peter catches him and helps Paul to his feet. Taking the plunge, Ryan signs up to Ovidz.
Part Three: Ryan drops his trousers and takes his first video. Kevin and Tyrone try to assure Cassie that the Websters are there only because they're such old friends. Abi finds Cassie a bit prickly. Once they've gone, she asks her son if she makes him feel uncomfortable, but he finds it hard to talk about her addiction. Peter helps Paul and Bryn back to the bistro. He's upset that he can no longer be with his nephews and nieces without help. Liv texts to say she likes Ryan's photos. Daniel and Daisy move into the flat. Ryan is momentarily disconcerted when he thinks Glenda has seen his explicit pictures and is relieved when she talks instead about his fitness portfolio. Ronnie tells Ed he's employed a friend called Colin Wharton to replace Dee-Dee as he is also an accountant. The money starts to roll in on Ryan's account. Arriving back at the flat, Paul admits he can't manage the stairs. Billy enlists Todd's help and between them they begin to carry him up to the flat.
Part Four: Feeling utterly humiliated, Paul reluctantly admits it might be time for a stair lift. Ryan gives Peter and Carla £30 towards the bills. Cassie thinks Tyrone is ashamed of her. They try to each an understanding about how they're going to get to know one another. Glenda refuses when her brother offers her Todd's job. Ryan lies to Carla and Peter that he's now officially an online fitness influencer and he'll soon be raking it in. George suggests to Eileen that she would make a great undertaker, but she refuses outright saying she could never work with dead bodies and she lacks compassion and empathy. Ryan is upset to read comments saying he needs to bulk up. He retrieves his steroids. Paul insists that on their wedding day he will walk up the aisle. Ryan injects again and begins pumping iron with vigour.
