Plot[]
Part One: It's Nick's birthday but he's not in the mood for celebrating. David is quiet, feeling ashamed of himself for spending the night with Tracy. The mood at No.4 remains tense as Sally and Rosie both snipe at and snub Kevin. David insults Tracy when she approaches him in Victoria Street. Nick is delighted when The Joinery's insurance company agrees to pay up without a fuss. Anna continues to fret about Gary who tries to apologise to an unreceptive Eddie. The Rovers staff prepare the bar for the New Year's Eve party. Steve sets off to pay Amy a visit and finds out that she's dumped her on Deirdre. David's on edge when Tracy calls at the salon, fearing she will reveal their fling, especially when Audrey and Maria make it clear that she's not welcome. Tyrone and Kevin bicker at the garage over their tools. The stress is clearly getting to Kevin and he takes the rest of the day off. Amy misses Becky. Deirdre tells Steve that she expected him to fight harder to hang on to his daughter. Audrey's suspicious of Claudia's motives when she turns up and donates a luxury prize for the pub's raffle. Tracy enjoys flirting with David in front of his family in the pub. Gail steps in to fend her off so Tracy takes huge delight in announcing that they spent the night together. Gail and Audrey are shocked while David's mortified.
Part Two: The atmosphere in No.1 getting to her, Leanne snaps at Nick. Izzy persuades Gary to come for a drink in the Rovers to see in the New Year. Emily loudly rebukes Tracy for alienating half the street when she sees her insulting Gail. Tracy's chastened for once. Eddie and Anna are relieved to see Gary perked up when he prepares to go out. Leanne refuses to join Nick for a birthday drink. Audrey isn't pleased to find out that Mary Taylor has been filling in Claudia on all the neighbourhood gossip. Leanne mentions Nick's birthday in front of Tracy. Sophie and Sian find Kevin packing up his belongings. He explains he's going to find somewhere else to live with Jack to make life easier for everyone. Sophie's gutted. Sally and Tyrone observe as Kevin loads the car and drives away. Tracy presents Nick with a birthday present. He invites her into the bookies where, still upset by Leanne's snub, he weakens and they begin kissing.
