Plot[]

Gail looks at the article about the bistro fracas in the Gazette. She blames Kylie but Nick is more circumspect. At Lewis's suggestion, Audrey agrees they should cancel their cruise and save the money. Stella asks Sunita to look after the bar whilst she treats Karl to a romantic anniversary dinner in the back room. Sunita's put out but covers. Kirsty arrives home to find that Tyrone's thrown her a surprise birthday party. She's clearly not happy but paints on a smile. Sean tells Nick that Betty's hotpot recipe belongs in the Rovers, not in the bistro. Eva begs Nick to give her a second chance but he's adamant that it's over between them, however he agrees to let her keep her job. Eva's quietly hopeful. Tyrone shows in the mystery party guests, Kirsty's parents. Kirsty's horrified and it soon becomes clear that her parents didn't know she was engaged, pregnant or that she'd lost her job in the police force. Although initially awkward, Karl enjoys his evening with Stella and realises how much he loves her. Kirsty's dad is furious with her for losing her job telling her that he'll be a laughing stock in the force. Grabbing his wife's arm he marches out. The party guests exchange embarrassed looks. Audrey, Lewis, David and Kylie finally bury the hatchet. David apologises to Lewis and Audrey offers David and Kylie their jobs back at the salon. They're thrilled whilst Gail remains sour-faced. When the last guests have left, Kirsty turns on Tyrone blaming him for her terrible night. Tyrone points out that she's lied to him making him believe her parents knew all about her job and her pregnancy. Karl takes Sunita to one side and tells her that he wants to end their affair. Sunita's gutted. Kirsty sees red and grabbing Tyrone in an armlock, slams him against the wall. Tyrone's horrified and runs from the house. Kirsty breaks down in tears, appalled by her own actions.
