Plot[]
Part One: With her bags packed for Majorca, Fiz calls a cab to take her to the airport. John begs to go with her but she wants time on her own to think. Audrey fantasises about their new life in Alonissos. Lewis humours her. Lloyd suggests that he and Cheryl have a meal together when he hears that Russ is having a sleepover. She reluctantly agrees. Bill's put out to discover that Jason's accepted a job working for Owen. Eileen asks Owen to look over No.9 and give her his professional opinion. Dev tells Natasha he needs an answer on his flat offer or he will go elsewhere. Maria makes catty remarks to her about Nick's lack of commitment. Ignoring John's pleas, Fiz sets off for the airport. Leanne advises Cheryl to make it clear to Lloyd that they're just friends. A bereft John calls to see Charlotte telling her how Fiz has left him. She's delighted, but John says without Fiz, his life wouldn't be worth going on with.
Part Two: Leanne is cold towards Nick when he tries to chat to her in the Rovers. She overhears as Natasha tells him that Dev wants a decision. Nick reckons they should look at other flats before they commit. Leanne can tell that he's just stalling while Natasha remains oblivious. A gleeful Charlotte tells John that now they can be together. He leaves, calling her a delusional nutter and ordering her to keep away from him. Cheryl insists on paying Lloyd £50 rent making it clear that their relationship is purely platonic. He's disappointed. Owen looks over No.9 and Tyrone is hurt by his constant criticisms. A depressed John shops for a bottle of whiskey. Lewis calls in the bookies with a bottle of wine. He insists Deirdre nips home for a corkscrew. Whilst Owen's busy criticising the state of the roof, Molly suffers a sharp pain in her head. Tyrone's worried and helps her back inside. While Deirdre's out, Eddie tries to place a bet. Lewis shows him out and locks the door. Audrey hurts Rita and Leanne when they wish her well in Greece with remarks about leaving a life behind living above shops. Lewis places his false betting slip in the till. Deirdre's perplexed to find the door locked but to prevent her asking any awkward questions, Lewis grabs her and kisses her passionately. The CCTV records them.
