Plot[]
Eileen gives Colin his birthday present. When Jason appears bleary-eyed and shamefaced, Julie trailing behind, Eileen and Sean enjoy his embarrassment. Steve and Becky are on a break. Steve plans to tell Tracy that Amy knows the truth. Sean, Janice, Kelly and Pam debate whether Jason and Julie had sex. Norris hopes to find Rita struggling in The Kabin but she's managing just fine without him. Paula overhears Rita discussing plans for Colin's surprise party. When Pam enters to share the gossip about Jason and Julie, Paula's horrified. On the day that the bookies reopens, Ken checks up on Peter. Paula confronts Julie about Jason, her words increasingly hurtful. Julie's devastated when Paula admits she wishes Julie had never drawn breath. Fiz visits John and apologises for forgetting her ID card last time. John's thankful she still wants to see him. Becky anxiously waits by Steve's car. When he appears Becky tells him about her childhood; her father imprisoned and the constant lies. Steve better understands why she told Amy the truth and the rift between them begins to heal. Fiz is grateful when John summarises "Jekyll and Hyde" for her but when the bell rings for her to leave, John's sorry he spent so long on one subject. Mary, Norris, Sean, Emily, Jason, Eileen, Betty, Pam and Julie await Colin's arrival at the Rovers. Rita and Colin enter to a loud "surprise". Jason avoids all contact with Julie. Peter shows Ken around his redecorated flat. Whilst Peter gives up booze, desperate to be a good father, Ken struggles giving up thoughts of Martha. Colin reveals he has a surprise of his own and proposes to Rita.
