Plot[]
Part One: Watching the fireworks from the Rovers' yard, Mary makes Norris promise that he'll visit her in South Africa. Jude sees that his mother has doubts about the move. Wondering where Andy has gone to, Steph goes after him. Shona turns up in the street and Sean takes her to the bistro where Todd and Billy are celebrating. Peter admits to Simon that he is in a relationship but begs him not to tell anyone just yet as he needs to wait until the time is right to break the news to all the parties concerned. Simon is also annoyed to find out that Leanne has been in hospital and the news was kept from him. Nick brings Leanne home to a hug from Simon. While Kevin fixes the van, Johnny ponders on a change of pace in his life. Rita joins Jenny's party to the news that she's moving in with Johnny. Jenny's in her element as she swans about the flat, playing hostess to Johnny's friends and business partners. Eva watches her jealously. Phelan finds Jack wandering the street alone. The boy explains that Anna's had an accident and Phelan sees her unconscious on the hallway floor through No.13's letterbox. Steph's furious to find Andy, bags packed, about to do a runner. Leanne apologises to Simon for deceiving him. He tells her it's okay with a meaningful look at Peter and Toyah. Phelan kicks in the back door. Anna is terrified to see him.
Part Two: Phelan helps Anna to the sofa. She demands he leaves but he refuses to until he's repaired the door. Steph can't get a rational explanation out of Andy for his actions. He tells her that he needs her and they hug. Unable to face an emotional goodbye, Norris embraces Mary and heads back to No.3. As her friends gather round Mary and Jude's departing taxi singing We'll Meet Again, Mary's overcome. Hearing them from inside No.3, Norris sits on the stairs and weeps. Johnny arrives back, covered in grease and grime. Kevin also arrives home to the sight of Phelan repairing the back door. He's no option but to let him continue. Todd and Billy bring Shona back to No.11. When he has an opportunity, Todd goes through Shona's coat pockets and finds David's wallet with Kylie's picture. Jenny's dreams of a jet set lifestyle are shattered when Johnny announces his retirement to the party and that he intends to live a far quieter life from now onwards, leaving Aidan in charge of Underworld. Eva is exultant. Phelan fixes the door and when Kevin and Anna have gone to bed lets himself back into the house and photographs a copy of the invoice for Kevin's new pick-up truck on his phone. Norris is woken up by a knocking on the door. It's Mary who was unable to go ahead with the move. They hug and cry on the doorstep.
