Plot[]
Andy gives a week's notice at the flat. He tells Curly he doesn't want to train at Bettabuy any more and wants to move away. Reg hates the way he's ruined his own chances with Maureen. Curly arranges a meeting between him and Maureen. Denise is surprised when pizzas are delivered when she hasn't ordered any. She sends them back. Reg gives Maureen a silver bracelet, saying it's twenty-five years since they met. He swears she's the only woman he's ever loved. Des is furious when Tanya tells him she set Raquel up - there's no shoot. Des collects Raquel from where she's been waiting for the crew to arrive, not an Armani shoot but a shop called "R. Marney - High Class Fruit & Vegetables". He takes her back to No.6 to comfort her. Curly entertains Elaine at No.7. He is thrilled when they kiss. She is horrified when he tells her how he stopped her transfer - she belts him and storms out.

Notes[]
- Jim McDonald (Charles Lawson) is credited but does not appear.
- The running order of Part One creates a continuity error when a Jim's Cafe scene in which Andy McDonald refuses breakfast from Gail Platt and Alma Baldwin as he sets off for Bettabuy is shown out of sequence, after he has already been seen at work.
- TV Times synopsis: The Street erupts as Curly makes a confession to Elaine, and Raquel finds a way to hit back at Tanya.
- Viewing Figures: UK broadcast - 19,290,000 viewers (1st place - combined figure including repeat).
- This episode was included in the Network DVD collection Coronation Street: The Best of 1990-1999, released on 5th September 2011.
- The Granada Plus repeat of this episode on 13th September 2004 was edited for timing reasons, omitting an entire salon scene in Part Two, lasting 39", in which Denise Osbourne rejects a pizza delivery on the grounds that she did not place the order. The delivery boy does not appear elsewhere in the episode. The ITV3 repeat on 22nd October 2019 reinstated the cut scene.
