Plot[]
Part One: Carla instructs her solicitor to get Nick's business shut down. She tells Trevor she's determined to get Underworld up and running. Janice overhears as Leanne has a go at Nick for ditching Carla and tricking her into helping him. Deirdre gets tearful as she celebrates her first birthday without Blanche, re-using her card from the year before. Janice tells the factory workers that Carla intends to shut them down. Nick tells them not to worry and orders them to keep working. Deirdre invites Lewis and Audrey to join her and Ken for a drink in the Rovers for her birthday. Janice tells Leanne how depressed she is about the prospect of losing her job. Michelle and Becky make Ciaran to keep to his promise to only wear his boxers to work as he wasn't able to make Michelle a meal to remember. Cheryl moves her belongings into Lloyd's flat and admits to Leanne that Chris doesn't know. Ashley is annoyed as Graeme neglects his work to chat on his phone to Tina. He's mortified when he tells Tina that he loves her and she doesn't reply in kind. Carla approaches Bill and Jason about refitting Underworld. Owen overhears and offers to give her a quote. Bill's furious. Nick begs Leanne to persuade George not to cancel the lease. Leanne turns on him, saying he's nothing to her anymore and she owes him no favours.
Part Two: Eddie teases Steve and Becky by pretending that the baby is his adopted son, telling them that he and Anna were fast-tracked through the process. Steve and Becky are perturbed. Deirdre's attempt at a train birthday cake for Simon is a disaster. Nick sends Leanne a text begging her to reconsider. Lloyd enjoys having his new flatmates. Steve stops Becky ringing Dawn Coghill to find out what's going on. The Underworld staff are agog to see Ciaran in his boxers and Janice chases him into the back to strip them off. Feeling guilty about her outburst, Leanne tells Nick that she will ring George. Joining Ken and Deirdre, Lewis reveals his dream of retiring to the Greek islands. Audrey's thoughtful. Nick's grateful when Leanne tells him that she's sorted everything with George. She tells him that they are quits now. Nick promises not to tell anyone she helped him out.
