Plot

Tracy stuns Peter that Steve is the father of her baby. Ken asks Lucy to consider letting Peter see Simon. Tracy confides in Peter how much she has always liked Steve. Peter is appalled when Tracy relates the story of drugging Roy. Also, she and Roy didn't have sex, but that she had slept with Wally Bannister. When Roy and Hayley attacked her, she lost her temper and told them that Roy was the father. Things got out of hand and there was no going back. Shelley has a word with Cilla and Les for getting over amorous in the Rovers. Peter tries to persuade Tracy to keep the baby, until she is forced to admit that she is selling it to the Croppers. He's asks her what sort of woman she's become. She breaks down, overcome by shame and guilt. Roy and Hayley's bank manager, Matthew Dowley, agrees to lend them £5,000. Peter tells Tracy to go and tell Steve the truth. Sally is thrilled when Rosie lands a large role in Nicole Farnsworth's production of Grease. Tracy is just about to tell Steve about the baby when Roy and Hayley walk in and beg Tracy to agree to their offer. She accepts the cheque from Roy and Hayley - the deal is back on.
