Natalie flirts with men in the Rovers to make Kevin jealous. She begs him to return to her but he tells her that he was never worthy of her. Zoe doesn't trust Liam and runs away from the squat, taking Shannon with her. Spider is horrified to discover Les has a live turkey in the yard and tells Toyah they should help free it.

He is grateful for her support. Vera feels sorry for Natalie when she discovers Kevin has left her. Judy is sickened with herself for having prostituted herself but is relieved to have the money.
