Gail doesn't like the idea of Nick sharing a house with Zoe as she fears that he'll turn into a druggie. Ritchie arrives at the Rovers and asks Samantha to live with him now Des has finished with her. Steve enjoys visiting Fiona, telling her that he's glad he could help her. Des sees Ritchie with Samantha and confronts them, accusing Samantha of encouraging Ritchie. Ritchie tells them he's got the message that Samantha doesn't love him and tells Des he's welcome to her. Ritchie warns Samantha that it's obvious she doesn't love Des but is just dependant on him. Pam warns Fiona to be on her guard against Steve, certain that he'll take advantage of her.
