Plot[]
Part One: Carla enjoys winding up Liz about the loss of her staff and tells her that The Joinery will have mini-tapas hotpot on the menu. She introduces Michelle to the factory girls as the new trainee assistant manager. Sally's envious. Having dropped the sample off, Kevin finds out that baby Jack's DNA results will be available that day. Tyrone almost overhears him. John finds a florists' receipt in Chesney's trouser pocket. Rosie secretly arranges a bigger party for Sophie than she wants, inviting as many people as possible. Betty is outraged about The Joinery's hotpot and has the idea of reporting the bar to environmental health, saying they've a problem with rats. Molly wonders where the dummy has got to. John tells Charlotte that he reckons Chesney must have seen them disposing of Colin's body and he's going to question him. Charlotte tries to argue, but John says he needs to know before he tells Fiz.
Part Two: Sophie panics when No.4 suffers a power cut. Sally reckons Michelle's job should have been hers. Janice gives Michelle some lip but she's quick to slap her down. Kevin is fixing the electrics when the courier arrives with the DNA results and hands them to Tyrone. Kevin replaces the fuse and rushes back, panicking that Tyrone has opened the results, only to find he's been distracted. Sean skives off work early to meet a date, telling the girls it'll be fine because Michelle's a mate. John confronts Chesney with the florists' receipt. He's annoyed that John's been through his things. Fiz arrives and wonders what they're rowing about. Chesney tells them how he ordered some flowers for Katy. John's so relieved he laughs hysterically, puzzling Fiz and Chesney. Sophie's assures Sally that only a handful of people are coming to the party. John's unnerved when the phone rings but there's nobody there. As the workman switches on the new sign for The Joinery, Nick and Leanne hug each other excitedly. However their mood is ruined when the health inspector arrives. Having got Tyrone out of the way, Kevin opens the results.

Notes[]
- Last appearance of Liz McDonald until 14th March 2011.
- The courier who delivers the DNA test results and the man who switches on The Joinery sign are both uncredited, although they have lines of dialogue.
- A continuity error occurs in this episode when Rita Sullivan sells fireworks to Peter Barlow. As a result of the accident suffered by Mark Hillkirk in Episode 1336 (5th November 1973), Rita instituted a strict policy of never selling fireworks again and said as much to Sharon Gaskell in Episode 4698 (13th October 1999).
- TV Times synopsis: Kevin waits for a courier to deliver the DNA test results, only for the package to fall into Tyrone's hands; and a mysterious phone call interrupts John's cosy night in with Fiz.
