Plot[]
Part One: Leanne and Peter busily prepare for the hard-hat party. Trevor and Janice enjoy a fry-up and agree they should have one every Saturday. Joe and Gail make plans for their Lake Winderemere boating trip. Liz is surprised when Becky says she and Steve are giving up smoking. Steve tells his euphoric mother that Becky's pregnant but she must keep the news to herself. George, Eve and Ciaran join in the party preparations. Peter asks Ken if he can babysit Simon that night but he refuses, as it's to the benefit of the bar. Peter is annoyed but still invites him to the party. Deirdre's frustrated at Ken's attitude. Becky realises from Liz's positive attitude towards her that she knows about the pregnancy. Trevor turns down Janice's invitation to join the party as he has other plans. A happy Leanne thanks Peter for helping realise her ambition. Ken refuses Deirdre's blandishments to change his mind and go to the party.
Part Two: The hard-hat party begins. Carla enjoys Ciaran's attempts to flirt with her. Ken decides to spend the night at the Rovers. Hayley is on edge as Anna collects her for the salsa lesson. With nine weeks still to go before the building work is finished, the party's a huge success and Leanne's on cloud nine as she hobnobs with the guests. Joe panics as Rick calls at No.8. Joe promises him that it's all in hand and he'll get his money in a week's time when a project reaches fruition. Michelle tells Ken how Peter resisted a temptation to drink from Ciaran and she and Emily persuade him to go to the party. A worried Tina sees Rick leaving No.8. Becky confronts Steve for telling Liz about her pregnancy. However, having found the pregancy book with Claire's name in it, he's quick to point out that she's done the same thing. Liz and Betty are horrified to realise they gave Enid Crump an old hotpot that was well past its sell-by date. Tina asks her dad who Rick is and what's going on. He's forced to tell her the truth. Peter starts to get drunk. Ken arrives at the party. Leanne finds Peter with a glass in his hand. Clearly drunk, he reaches for a glass of champagne and knocks it back in front of a shocked Ken and Deirdre.
