Abi heads to Freshco to get some anti-sickness meds for Kevin. In the car park, a handsome man called Carl tries to steal Abi’s parking space, causing her to prang her car. Abi loses her temper, shouting that her husband is suffering from cancer. She lashes out, giving Carl a bloodied nose.

Mortified, she apologises and he shrugs it off and heads back to his car. After it fails to start, Abi offers to fix it. When he tells her she is funny and gorgeous and asks her out for a drink, what will she say?

Back at The Rovers, Abi regales Kevin, Debbie and Ronnie with the car park story, minus the attraction between her and the driver. But as she comes back from the ladies’, she is shocked to find Carl chatting to the others and realises he is Kevin and Debbie’s brother. As he listens to Kevin repeating Abi’s story, will he come clean about being the man she met?

Debbie makes a furtive call and arranges an appointment at the memory service clinic.

Meanwhile, when Hope hears Sally and Tim talking about fostering and not wanting to look after a child like Hope, she plots her revenge. Cassie packs Hope and Ruby off to the cinema so she can spend the afternoon with Steve.

In the garden at No.4, Tim and Sally discuss their fostering plans when suddenly a balloon full of water comes flying over the fence. A furious Sally turns to see Hope and Ruby filming the incident.

Hope and Ruby return home to find Cassie and Steve in a state of undress. Hope suggests to Cassie that they should both keep quiet about what they’ve each been up to. What will they do?

Despite Sally’s reservations about the fostering idea Tim secretly books himself in for a fostering information session.

Elsewhere, in the hotel bar, Debbie reads a text from Abi which leaves her confused. When Ronnie calls in with her lunch box and points out she forgot it, Debbie masks her turmoil. In the café, Tim admits to Ronnie that he let slip to Debbie about his plan to propose to her. Ronnie calls at the hotel and, pulling out an engagement ring, gets down on one knee.

Also today, in the Rovers, Carla breaks the news to Jenny that she needs to pay Lisa back and she’s decided to sell the pub. Jenny’s shocked.

Later, Jenny receives a parcel. She is delighted to discover it’s a bottle of champagne from Dominic’s very own vineyard. Christina watches, a sly grin on her face. Jenny begs Carla to give her first refusal on buying the pub. Daisy watches, intrigued.

Finally, Todd suggests to Julie they should set up a crowdfunding page to send her on the holiday of her dreams before it’s too late, Kit flirts with Sarah who tries her best to play hard to get, and Theo begs an affronted Todd not to cause a scene at his mother-in-law’s funeral.
