Ray's funeral leads to Steve getting closer to Tracy

Steve (Simon Gregson) offers to mind Amy on the day of Ray Langton’s (Neville Buswell) funeral, but Tracy (Kate Ford) politely says she would rather not as she needs her daughter for company on the sad day. Some of the street’s residents go to the cemetery to say their farewells to Ray. It is a small and sombre affair, and as the guests leave, Tracy asks for a few minutes alone at his graveside. She cannot contain her grief any longer and the tears flow for the loss of her father. As she looks up she sees Steve walking towards her and there is a touching moment where he consoles her as she cries. Later on, Tracy pops round to Steve’s to say thank you for his support. Steve gently persuades her to stay for a drink and she puts Amy to sleep in the spare bed. They have a heart-to-heart – will one thing lead to another for the star-crossed couple?

Over at the Platts’, Craig (Richard Fleesman) is feeling a bit brighter having stayed with David (Jack P Shepherd) for the night. But when a tearful Martin (Sean Wilson) arrives with the unfortunate news that Katys’ condition has deteriorated, Craig is even more distraught.

And elsewhere, Candice (Nikki Sanderson) is plotting her pathway to fame and fortune. As Sean (Antony Cotton) arrives at the salon to prepare for a hot date he met on the internet, Candice practises her ‘unique’ interviewing technique on her baffled colleagues, and Sean gives as good at he gets with the ditsy hairdresser!

It’s the morning after the night before for Tracy and Steve

The episode begins with Tracy waking up in Steve’s arms, blissfully happy after their evening together. He

kisses her on the cheek and tentatively leaves for work, but when he arrives he gets a grilling from Eileen (Sue Cleaver) and mum Liz (Beverley Callard). And in a mirror image, at No.1 Coronation Street, Blanche (Maggie Jones) is disgusted that Tracy has stayed over at Steve’s again and shouts that he has taken complete advantage of her at her most vulnerable. Tracy tries to defend him but Blanche’s harsh words stick in her mind. She starts to believe that Steve will stand her up in the Rovers tonight because the night before meant nothing to him. Will Steve (Simon Gregson) go to the pub to seek out Tracy (Kate Ford), or will he write off their romantic liaison as a one-night stand?

In the police station, a drained Angela (Kathryn Hunt) pleads with DI Pinnock (Philip Martin Brown) to let her go and see her daughter. He tells her that a trip to the hospital is not so simple and that Katy’s (Lucy Jo Hudson) suicide letter doesn’t actually prove anything as she could be lying to protect her mother. Angela’s hopes are completely shattered. So even though she desperately tells the police about the possibility of Katy’s prints being on the infamous wrench, she breaks down and cries with the sheer enormity of recent events.

Meanwhile, at Gail's (Helen Worth), Craig (Richard Fleeshman) lashes out at Martin (Sean Wilson) when Martin reveales that Katy killed Tommy and Gail has to intervene.

Candice (Nikki Sanderson) still has her heart set on being a weather girl and is convinced she is set for stardom. The Baldwins settle down for the evening to watch ‘Candy’ practise her moves around a weather map. In hilarious scenes, she fails to get the hang of UK geography and leaves everybody in stitches of laughter, except proud boyfriend Warren (Danny Young)!

Now that Fred has decided to sell the Rovers, Charlie (Bill Ward) and Shelley (Sally Lindsay) are buzzing with plans to refurbish the pub. Violet (Jenny Platt) and Ciaran (Keith Duffy) are quite worried about keeping their jobs, but Shelley assures them they will be fine. But when Ciaran innocently suggests some style ideas, Charlie ridicules him and abruptly sends him away. But later on, Violet and Ciaran tentatively discuss just how big Charlie’s influence is becoming over Shelley.

Angela (Kathryn Hunt) is still languishing in her cell. Her solicitor comes to visit and tries to explain that getting permission from the prison governor to see Katy (Lucy Jo Hudson) can take time. But Angela’s pleas are finally heard, and she is taken to visit her daughter. How will she react when she sees Katy so terribly poorly?

And in the Rovers, Kelly (Tupele Dorgu) tries her charms on Steve (Simon Gregson) again, but he is more interested in

listening into Tracy and Nathan’s (Ray Fearon) conversation nearby. Tracy (Kate Ford) catches on to this and exploits the fact that she and Nathan are getting on well by brazenly asking him to go on a weekend away with her and Amy. How will confused Steve react to Tracy’s mind games?

And in Audrey’s (Sue Nicholls) garden, Fred (John Savident) samples the fruits of his labour. Will the ’pure’ water be crystal clear?
