Plot[]
Part One: An unhappy Amy is quiet at No.1. Leanne is concerned for her but Deirdre makes excuses. Nick calls to collect her for their first day at the bookies and Ken and Deirdre are concerned to find out about the arrangement. Next door, Becky is confident that she will soon be back as she and Steve bicker, and Max misses his playmate. Sally's annoyed to find Kevin in the kitchen and orders him back into the conservatory. Kevin's frustrated. Ken tells Tracy to take things slowly with Amy, but she is only concerned to have got her own way. She takes Amy shopping. Leanne shows Nick the ropes, enjoying the attention from him, despite herself. Norris and Mary set off on another mobile newsagent run. Tracy insults Norris and then finds out she's asked the wrong person when she approaches Rita for a job. John brings Fiz back home from hospital. Ken calls in the bookies and asks Nick to find another job. He curtly refuses. Ken vows not to allow him to make a fool of Peter.
Part Two: Eileen tells Steve he just has to learn to share Amy. Peter thinks Ken's suggestion that he helps Leanne at the bookies instead of Nick is surreal. Leanne walks in on their discussion. John is on the edge of tears. Returning with a sullen Amy, Tracy tries to turn the charm on Claire and offers to buy the butchers from her to open a florists. Claire's affronted by the very suggestion and tells Tracy to get lost. Fiz offers her condolences to Tyrone. Sally advises Tyrone to continue working at the garage and not let Kevin rob him of his livelihood as well. Fiz and John read the tributes at the crash site, including one from Charlotte's parents. John erupts into tears and runs back home. Becky finds Amy in the yard of No.1 talking to Eccles. Amy tells her that she wants to come home. Fiz tries to comfort a shaking John as he takes the blame for everything. She insists on making a doctors' appointment for him. Kevin commandeers the television for the conservatory. Sally's furious but Kevin points out that he paid for it and suggests that Sian moves out so he can have her room. Ken tells Tracy off for her attitude. Ken finds Amy is missing from the yard. The Barlows alert Steve and they are relieved to find her at the Rovers with Becky. Tracy remonstrates with Becky for kidnapping her, but Becky maintains Amy wanted to come back of her own free will and refuses to return her. Tracy threatens to reveal that she bought Max.
