Plot[]
Part One: Steve still can't find Becky. Tracy lords it over Tina behind the bar and handles a beer delivery to show Steve that she's capable. Kidding her on that he has plans for her ambitions, Steve asks Tracy to take the afternoon off but to come round at 7.00pm to sign the access agreement regarding Amy. She happily agrees. Tracy rushes home and tells Deirdre that now Becky's out of the way she reckons that she, Steve and Amy will soon be a proper family living at the Rovers. Steve interviews a lady named Sheila for the bar manager's job but it's soon clear that she's unsuitable. Sean and Marcus arrive back from London at No.11 with Dylan. Stella Price turns up for the job interview. Tina agrees to a date with Tommy. Steve's impressed with Stella and offers her the job. Stella explains that she'd have to live in and says she'll think about it.
Part Two: A jealous Gary's annoyed to find Izzy in the cafe with an old mate, Will, from Freshco. Sean, Marcus, Eileen and Julie fuss over Dylan. Tommy and Tina meet at Nick's Bistro. Tommy tries to impress but fails. Izzy isn't pleased with Gary's possessiveness. Tracy calls in the Rovers looking a million dollars. On the pretence he's going to take her out for dinner, Steve asks her to sign the access agreement. Tina's on a mission to get drunk. Watching on, Cheryl makes it clear to Tommy that Tina is just trying to blot her hurt out. Steve distracts Tracy with talk of an expensive meal to get her to sign the agreement without reading it. Tina invites Tommy back to her flat but he tells her that she's too drunk and he wouldn't take advantage. Tina leaves in a huff. He follows to make sure she's okay and takes care of her. Julie can't locate Brian. Sylvia tells Rita and Norris that she's surprised Roy and Hayley never had children. Norris is about to explain that Hayley's a transsexual, but Rita stops him with a kick to the shin. Stella calls in the Rovers and in front of Tracy, tells Steve that she'll take the job.
