Plot

Tina starts saying her goodbyes. Steph tells her she'll miss her. Carla insists on attending Rob and Tracy's engagement party, despite Peter wanting her to take it easy. Owen has to start work in Aberdeen earlier than planned. Peter admits to Steve that he wants to be with Carla but Tina is expecting him to leave with her. Steve advises him to do anything to shut her up. Nick is upset when Simon isn't free to go to Alton Towers with him and Leanne due to Leanne forgetting about the engagement, even though Nick hadn't made definite arrangements. Owen invites Anna to a hotel so they can have time alone before he goes. Tina resigns from the Rovers. Tony gives Tracy instructions on picking up the goods. Tina tells Rita she's leaving for good as she's fallen in love with a married man - Peter. Rita is horrified and warns her Peter will bleed her dry and dump her, as he does with all women. When a hurt Tina insinuates that Rita is a hypocrite, Rita slaps her. They part on bad terms. Tracy and Rob's engagement party begins in the Rovers. Deirdre's cake reads 'Congratulations on your engagement Tracy and Roy'. When Gail complains about Leanne's thoughtlessness, Eva thinks she's talking about Leanne and Kal and lets slip they're seeing each other. Steve warns Peter not to stand Tina up as she could let the cat out of the bag. Anna puts on a front at the hotel, although she feels nauseous at the romantic atmosphere. Tracy and Carla snipe at each other when Carla refuses a drink for the toast. Carla admits she's pregnant. Tina anxiously waits for Peter outside her flat. Eventually the taxi leaves. Having been told by Roy that Peter is at the party, Tina goes there to find him and walks in while he's making a speech about Carla's pregnancy.

Notable dialogue

Rita Tanner (about Peter Barlow): "He sails through life, just taking. And always plenty of women. Strong, smart women who think they'll be the one! Is that what you think? You'll succeed where all the others have failed? For heavens sake, he hasn't been married five minutes."
Tina McIntyre: "That was a mistake we knew on the day."
Rita Tanner (looking furious): "He went through with it though didn't he? Got his feet under the table at the factory, his hands on the joint account. He's a user, Tina. He will bleed you dry and then he will dump you."
