Part One: Leanne tries to suggest to Peter that they should fire Nick from the bookies as there isn't enough work, but he won't hear of it. Gary gets angry with Anna when she reminds him about his physiotherapy session at 10.00am. Cheryl's thrilled when Russ gives her some perfume for her birthday, saying that Chris helped him buy it. Lloyd is jealous. Eileen reports that Claire has been in touch to say she made it to France okay. She's had enough of Rosie and pushes Jason to get No.12 ready. Rosie throws a hissy fit when a slate falls off the roof at No.11 and misses her by inches. Eileen's only concern is the expense of getting it fixed. Cheryl bemoans being unemployed and tells Lloyd to deal with his jealousy. Peter confides in Nick he's worried he might fall off the wagon again and might go an AA meeting. Nick boosts his confidence telling him that he has to start believing in himself and he's there for him. An oblivious Peter is grateful.

She quietly stews. Peter and Leanne join Lloyd and Cheryl for in the pub. Carla watches Peter like a hawk. Chris and Maria turn up. Peter surreptitiously orders a large vodka, but Carla catches him about to swig it. Peter's disgusted with himself and slinks out of the pub while Carla covers for him. Chris meets his pal Billy at the back of the Rovers and pays him £200 for a bag full of knock-off iPods and cameras. Chris won't say what he needs them for.
