Plot[]
Part One: George, Eileen and Mary make a fuss of Dylan on his 16th birthday, but Sean can barely be civil to him. Dylan feels awful as he unwraps a watch to see that Sean has had it engraved. Bethany tells Daniel about the far-right article and shows him a threatening message she’s received from one of Lauren’s old contacts who she approached. Bobby calls at the cafe looking for Lauren and is put out to hear that Roy sacked her. Tommy is embarrassed when Steve and Tim serenade him when he calls into the cafe. Alya shows Adam the bistro's CCTV footage of Joel and the woman. He advises her to keep out of it. Eileen tells Sean that he has to sort out his relationship with Dylan. Tommy finishes the florist's job. Tracy reveals that she’s got No.1 to herself as Steve’s on a long run. Tommy can’t resist. Dee-Dee sees that Alya is uneasy when she talks about Joel. Alya tells her she has something to show her. Tim sees that Gav is scared of scaling a ladder as he prepares to clean No.1's windows. Tim shows him how to do it but Tracy yells out when she sees his face at the bedroom window. Tim’s mortified and hurries down the ladder.
Part Two: Tracy appears in her dressing gown and convinces Tim and Gav that she and Steve were enjoying a bit of lunchtime fun, and they should keep it to themselves. In the Rovers, Tim’s disappointed to find they no longer sell Newton & Ridley beer. Daisy urges Jenny to renegotiate with the brewery, but Jenny’s dismissive. Sally rings Tommy to come round and repaint a part of their bedroom. Tim tells her what he saw at No.1. She's amused. Dee-Dee confronts Joel who admits that he has a wife, Emily. Roy calls at Lauren’s flat with her wages. Lauren thanks him for his kindness and tells him she plans to leave Weatherfield and start afresh. Joel admits he also has a small child but he and Emily have been seperated for over a year. Dee-Dee realises that they must have split when Emily was pregnant and he has to admit that it was due to him having a fling. She throws him out. Steve moans to Sally how he spent all day on a run and she wonders who was in bed with Tracy.
Part Three: Tommy thinks Sally is trying to seduce him when she asks him to come up upstairs to fix the decorating. He's relieved to realise the truth. Dylan admits to George that has no mates because they blame him for what's happening to Liam. He labels himself a coward. George tells him about his own experiences at Frank Bardsley's hands, and how much it meant when one bully apologised to him afterwards. Dylan thinks he ought to do the same. Bethany advises Daisy to approach the brewery herself. Dee-Dee starts to knock back the wine in the Rovers. Tommy is relieved to find out from Tracy that Tim thought she was with Steve. Sally wonders what the two of them are talking about. Bobby arrives at Lauren’s and finding the door unlocked, lets himself in. There is no sign of her, but it looks as though she left in a hurry. Dylan apologises to Sean and states he intends to do the same to Liam and come clean to Mrs Crawshaw. Bobby sends Lauren a text and heads out, locking the door behind him. Bethany continues to write her story. Daniel advises her to inform Max what she's doing. Sally puts two and two together when she finds out from Mary that Tracy supposedly took Tommy out for lunch, shortly before Tim spotted her in the bedroom.
Part Four: Bobby shares his concerns about Lauren with Max. Mason sees Dylan about to go into Victoria Court and threatens him from doing anything. Alya takes a drunk Dee-Dee out of the Rovers. Ed persuades her to go to No.3 for a coffee. Sally interrupts Steve and Tim bickering about the state of his windows to prevent the truth coming out. Steve hates the new Rovers' beer. Joel insists on talking to Dee-Dee. He swears his marriage is over, the receipt was really for a charm bracelet for his daughter Maeve, and there are no other revelations but she can no longer trust him and tells him to go. Sally tells a shocked Tim that Tracy was in bed with Tommy.
