Plot[]

Part One: As Peter broods in his flat, Ken and Deirdre try to talk to a sullen, angry Simon. Becky tells Steve to make clear to Tracy that she's no longer required at the Rovers. Leanne loads her taxi, helped by a tearful Janice. Ken begs her to stay and try to talk Peter round. Leanne refuses and sets off. Dev fills Steve in on Peter and Leanne's troubles. He advises him that if he took Tracy to court for more access to Amy, he would easily win. Graeme moves Xin's belongings into the flat. He thinks they should seek Dev's approval but Tina's doubtful. Ken tells Peter that Leanne's left for the station, but he could still catch her. Peter's dismissive, refusing to forgive infidelity as easily as Ken and Deirdre seem to. Ken hits back, accusing Peter of acting out of pride, regardless of Simon's feelings. Sunita agrees to give Sophie some extra shifts once the corner shop reopens if she gives up college. An outraged Peter follows Ken out of the flat and they have a blazing row in the street. Ken tells Peter that Leanne's mistakes are no worse than some of his and he should forgive her. Peter breaks down in tears and Ken hugs his son. At the station, Leanne purchases a single ticket to London.

Part Two: Ken takes Peter to his house and urges him to see that Leanne's good for him. Peter's pensive and sees that Simon's upset, wanting to apologise to Leanne. Becky tells Tracy there's no space for her on the rota. Graeme tells Dev about Xin staying at the flat. He refuses to allow it. Lloyd drives Peter to the station. Dev agrees to the extra tenant but insists on charging an extra £200 rent. Graeme and Tina can't afford the extra. Xin's upset as says she won't stay. Steve tries to sack Tracy, but she inveigles her way behind the bar. Lloyd's taxi gets caught in a traffic jam. Xin tearfully gathers her effects and boards a bus as Tina and Graeme try to get her to change her mind. Becky's frustrated as Steve argues that he can't risk angering Tracy and losing Amy. Peter arrives on the platform as the train departs. He turns to see Leanne standing on the concourse. They embrace as she tells him that she couldn't bring herself to leave.
