Plot[]
Maya unsuccessfully drops hints to Dev that his father thought her as marriage material. Dev later tells Eileen that he is not the marrying kind. Tracy has her first night with the new baby and is exhausted but happy. Deirdre and Blanche bask in the presence of their granddaughter. Ken feels that they should apologise to Roy and Hayley but Deirdre feels they don't owe them anything. Meanwhile, Maya finds out from Ciaran that Dev has been engaged at least twice before to Sunita and Geena. Dev comes back from work at the Eccles shop to find Maya flirting with Ciaran in the Rovers. She is clearly very upset and gives him the cold shoulder back in the flat. Tracy tells Ciaran that she wants to make a go of it with her baby, even without Steve, and she's seen the light. Ciaran tells her that she should have done before she ruined Roy and Hayley's lives. Fred tells Ashley to go out for the afternoon, and Claire turns up to make up the hours from Friday. Fred thinks Imogen Stamford is trying to poach Claire. Ashley and Claire go out to buy shoes for Joshua while Fred serves up a meal for Penny. Fred invites Penny away for a few days to a cottage on the Yorkshire Moors and she accepts. Ashley warns Fred to be careful, and tells him that he won't start a relationship with Claire, which Claire overhears. Tracy tells Deirdre she's intending to change Patience's name. Roy and Hayley attempt to come to terms with what has happened. Ken comes round to apologise and tell them that he will get them all their money back, but the baby belongs with her mother. Roy becomes angry and orders Ken out of the cafe flat, telling him that this is about more than just money. Roy believes that being named as Patience's father on her birth certificate gives him rights and declares his intention to fight for her.
