Plot
Karen is suffering from morning sickness. Yvonne angers Ashley and Claire. She tells Ashley that he is simply trying to replace his dead wife. Candice, Rita, Audrey, and Blanche all offer Maria advice on Tyrone. Janice and Angela fail to win at Roy's Christmas Pudding Prize, but Janice pockets Karen's winnings when she goes to throw up again. Rita nearly lands Fred in it when she suggests in front of Yvonne that she knocks the price of her steak off his paper bill. Claire suggests to Maria in the Rovers that she borrow the money from Audrey to pay back Tyrone to avoid feeling guilty. Later Claire asks Fred to give her away at the wedding, and he agrees. Karen overhears Liz and Steve talking about the present Steve has bought for Amy. Frankie starts laying on the compliments in the cafe, while Maria asks Audrey for the money, who reluctantly agrees. Maria gives Tyrone the money back, and invites him round for dinner. Karen suggests to Deirdre and Ken that they sell the car. Blanche warns Tracy who won't go along with the plan. Yvonne finishes at the butcher's and tells Fred that she'll be back for the Rovers' accounts the next day.
