Plot[]
Claudia informs Gail that Rita is one of Lewis's ex-clients. Gail's shocked and questions Rita. Norris confirms it. Natasha's startled when David reveals that Nick and Maria were once engaged. Mary calls on Hayley to carry out an impromptu wedding dress fitting. Fiz arrives and is thrilled when Hayley asks her to be her bridesmaid. Mary's jealous. Maria thanks Audrey for letting her have the salon flat. Maria asks for her old job back and expresses interest when Audrey mentions retirement. Dev's frazzled after looking after the twins. Sunita's amused when he claims that it's a doddle and suggests he continue during the summer holidays. He tells her that he needs to work so Sunita suggests employing a childminder. Dev refuses to consider it. Gail tackles Lewis about his former profession. He assures her that he cares for Audrey but Gail accuses him of being after her money. Lewis asks her not to upset Audrey. Lloyd and Steve try to pacify Eileen by offering her a promotion and a rise. Eileen turns them down before an idea occurs to her. Natasha asks Audrey if she'll consider selling her the salon if she can raise the money. Audrey agrees but informs her that Maria's also interested. Natasha seethes. Eileen tells Steve and Lloyd she'll accept their offer. She calls on Tyrone and Molly and announces that she wants to buy No.9 from them as soon as possible. Molly's delighted but Tyrone's not happy. Gail confronts Audrey, who reveals that Lewis has already moved in with her. As the argument escalates in front of a packed pub, Audrey tells the crowd that Lewis was an escort she once hired but she fell in love with him. She berates her friends for judging her, and leaves the Rovers arm in arm with Lewis.
