Plot[]
Part One: Aadi and Courtney announce that they're moving into Shelly's old flat. Rita puts Jenny and Stephen up. Aadi sells his Xbox to raise his half of the deposit and persuades Courtney to part with her rings for her contribution. Jenny and Daisy decide not to apply for jobs at the Rovers when it re-opens. Courtney and Aadi stumble into a golf club bash at the bistro. Aadi realises that Courtney knew about it and came along to wind Darren up. Dev is also there with Bernie. Paul and Billy meet with the registrar who will perform their civil ceremony. Paul requests Oh Happy Day for their exit music and is gutted to learn that religious music isn't allowed. Courtney snogs the face off Aadi in front of Darren while talking loudly about their new flat. Aadi stands up to defend Courtney's honour when Darren calls her a silly cow. Bernie splits them up before things turn ugly.
Part Two: Bernie tells Courtney to watch out as she knows she's just using Aadi as a trophy. Darren offers Dev £5,000 to split up Courtney and Aadi by any means necessary. Dev takes the money. Daniel asks Ryan to do a talk at the STC about the impact of violence on victims. He's unsure. Jenny locks up the Rovers for the last time. The staff watch forlornly as the Waterford team start boarding up the pub. Evelyn hears that Cassie has the day off to go to a meeting and insinuates that she's fed Tyrone a pack of lies. Tyrone insists that she's sincere but his heart sinks when he receives a call from the police. Rita and Stephen wear Jenny down until she agrees to go to Thailand for two weeks. Glenda moves into George's house and sees Gemma e-mailing Waterford and forces her to confess that she's going for the deputy manager's role. Dev puts a bag of money in front of Courtney and tells her it's hers if she finishes with Aadi.
Part Three: When Aadi comes downstairs, Courtney makes out that Dev is gifting them the £5,000. Dev goes along with it rather than admit the truth, while Aadi's thrilled, thinking Dev now approves of their relationship. Gemma's former colleagues accuse her of trying to take Jenny's job. Paul is sorry that he can't give Billy the church wedding he would have wanted. The police return Tyrone's car; it's been in an accident but is repairable. They don't know who stole it. Tyrone admits to Evelyn that he thought Cassie was in trouble when they called him. Courtney plans a getaway to Nice when she realises that the money was originally Darren's. Aadi agrees to a weekend away. Jenny doesn't care that Gemma went for the deputy manager's job; she's got too much self-respect to apply for a demotion. Gemma encourages her to swallow her pride, apply and take all the old staff back on. Darren is furious when Dev admits that Courtney took the £5,000 but isn't leaving Aadi. He demands his money back.
Part Four: Ryan agrees to do the talk at the STC. Aadi and Courtney get settled in their new flat. Billy stays at a hotel on the night before his wedding. Kevin suggests to Tyrone that Cassie takes the day off tomorrow as Ange Carlisle will be calling to discuss the contract with Stalwart Cabs. Tyrone refuses as Cassie broke the ice with Ange in the first place. Jenny is interviewed for the deputy manager's job. The Waterford manager refuses to employ her or any of her staff after they drank the pub dry. He threatens to call the police if he ever sees her on the premises. Paul tells Todd, Bernie and Summer that he'll need their help tomorrow. Dev tells Aadi that Courtney is a scarlet woman according to Darren. Aadi realises that Dev hasn't changed his attitude and guesses that he was trying to pay Courtney off earlier. Burned by Waterford, Jenny starts to think seriously about starting again in Thailand.
