Plot[]
David warns Gloria that Lewis is a con man but Gloria refuses to listen and ushering Lewis behind the bar, tells him that he can start his job as barman straight away. Steve comes up with yet another plan to break up Ryan and Tracy. Lloyd despairs of Steve and his hare-brained schemes. Mary throws a successful French night at the cafe by herself. She's run off her feet and Norris steps in and helps out as a waiter. Audrey's surprised to see Lewis behind the bar in the Rovers. Gloria flirts with Lewis and Audrey suspects she only gave him the job because she fancies him. Tommy wants to enjoy a romantic night in with Tina but is put out when Gary stays to talk about the surrogacy. Dr Carter visits Gloria in the back room of the Rovers. After he leaves, Lewis finds Gloria in tears. Gloria lies to Lewis telling him that she's dying but she doesn't want her family to know. Lewis, totally taken in, tries to comfort her. Steve puts his plan into action and convinces Ryan that he should make an honest woman of Tracy and propose to her. Business at the bistro is so quiet, Nick tells Kylie that she may as well have the evening off. Ryan takes Tracy to the Rovers and in front of Ken, Deirdre, Steve and Michelle, gets down on one knee and proposes to her. Tracy's shocked and in a panic tells Ryan that there's no need to marry her as she's lost the baby. The scales finally fall from Ryan's eyes and he realises the horrible truth; Tracy was never pregnant and was only using him to upset Michelle. When Norris informs Kylie that the customers are bringing their own alcoholic drinks into the cafe, she vows to report Mary to the council. Steve calls at Michelle's flat and proudly explains how he never really wanted to dump her but it was all part of his grand plan to split up Ryan and Tracy, but when Steve suggests they can now get back together, Michelle's furious and tells him that she's appalled by his mind games and he's now officially dumped.
