Plot[]
Mavis clears out Derek's things and bins the gnomes. Tricia tells Jamie that she loves Ray and wants them to move in with him, but Jamie doesn't want to leave the Rovers. Mike considers starting up again in the old print shop. He is annoyed that Don has frightened Alma and warns him to stay away from her. Don is furious to hear Mike is going to be opening up again. Kevin is uncomfortable when Natalie tells him that she wants to go through the garage's books and presses him to spend time with her whilst Sally's away. Don gets drunk at home and dismisses Jack's concerns for his safety. Tricia tells Jack that she intends to move in with Ray. He urges her to tell Vera quickly. Jamie is fed up that he always has to go along with Tricia's plans. Jack tells him that he'll miss him but is sure Ray will look after him. Alma plans a night in the Rovers with Gail, but Gail has to visit Mavis with Audrey. Chris cooks a meal for Angie and dodges her questions about Africa. Vera is devastated to learn Tricia is leaving. Mike takes Frances Stillman out to celebrate their success. Don overhears Alma ordering a cab and takes the job for himself, picking her up in a borrowed taxi.
