Plot[]
Part One: Tina searches round for somewhere for her and Graeme to live. Finding them in the cafe, David them that he wants to be friends again but Tina tells him it's too late. Becky's still struggling for what treasured possession to take to the adoption meeting. David summons Jason to the salon and tells him to let Tina into the flat to collect the last of her things. Jason realises he's up to something. Lloyd admits to Eileen that he has a crush on Cheryl, even though she's married. Jason lets Tina and Jason into the flat for five minutes. Ciaran suggests that they pick the name out of a hat for the Rovers' nomination in "The Fairest Barmaid in Weatherfield" competition. However, she fixes it so that all the names in the hat say "Liz". She feigns surprise when her name is pulled out. Lloyd drives to see Cheryl but he's ashamed of himself when he spots her from afar with her husband and son - the perfect happy family.
Part Two: The attendees gather for the adoption meeting. Liz dresses up for the competition photo. Ciaran's suspicious of her win. The attendees show off their treasured objects which the co-ordinator wants them to hand over. Steve takes his Action Man, and Becky her cuddly gorilla which she refuses to part with. In an attempt to cause a rift, David tells Graeme he reckons that Tina and Jason still have the hots for each other. Anna shows the meeting her gran's ring, but Eddie surprises everyone when he says the object which means most to him is his army son Gary. A proud Anna is in tears. Lloyd feels depressed that he's got nowhere in life. Ciaran shows Liz the crumpled pieces of paper exposing her scam that he's pulled out of the bin. Liz tells him she just wanted to feel special. Having been told what's transpired, Tina can't believe that Graeme is wondering if David was right. Liz withdraws from the competition. Tina's furious and rows with David in the pub, but he soon reduces her to tears with his insults. Steve and Lloyd have to intervene before a fight breaks out and Graeme hugs Tina as she sobs.
