Colin proposes to Rita
It's the day of Colin's 70th birthday and Eileen is planning his surprise party with Rita. Paula overhears the party plans from Rita but is horrified when she hears Pam gossiping about Jason and Julie getting it on the night before. She confronts an embarrassed and perplexed Julie with a hurtful tirade of abuse, leaving her daughter bemused about what she has done to deserve such fury.

Later, as the guests gather at the Rovers, Colin is delighted with his surprise party and stuns Rita with a surprise of his own.

With Steve and Becky having reached an impasse over the situation with Amy, Steve braces himself to tell Tracy that Amy knows the truth about where she is.

Becky, however, is still determined to put her side of the story and tries to explain to Steve about her childhood, her father's imprisonment and the constant lies. As Steve starts to understand Becky's background a little more, the rift between them begins to heal.

Fiz visits John and apologises for the mix up over her last visit. John, however, is just delighted that she still wants to visit him and wastes no time in helping her with Chesney's latest assignment. But he can't help feeling disappointed when the bell rings for the end of visiting and he realises he's spent the whole time discussing Jekyll and Hyde and not his feelings for Fiz.

Elsewhere, Ken checks up on Peter as he prepares to reopen the bookies following the fire.
