Becky tells Steve to make clear to Tracy that she's no longer required at the Rovers. Leanne loads her taxi. Ken begs her to stay and try to talk Peter round. Leanne refuses and sets off. Graeme moves Xin's belongings into the flat. He thinks they should seek Dev's approval but Tina doesn't want to give Dev the chance to veto the idea. Ken tells Peter that Leanne's left for the station but he could still catch her. Peter's dismissive, refusing to forgive infidelity as easily as Ken and Deirdre seem to. Ken hits back, accusing Peter of acting out of pride, regardless of Simon's feelings. Sunita agrees to give Sophie some extra shifts once the corner shop reopens if she gives up college. Peter and Ken have a blazing row in the street. Ken tells Peter that Leanne's mistakes are no worse than some of his. Peter breaks down in tears. At the station, Leanne purchases a single ticket to London. Ken urges Peter to see that Leanne's good for him. Peter's pensive. Graeme tells Dev about Xin staying at the flat. He agrees to it but insists on raising the rent. Graeme and Tina are outraged as they can't afford the extra. Xin's upset. Steve tries to sack Tracy but she inveigles her way behind the bar. Becky's frustrated as Steve argues that he can't risk angering her and losing Amy. Xin tearfully gathers her effects and boards a bus. Tina and Graeme are puzzled when Xin says the arrangement would never have worked. Xin leaves. Lloyd rushes Peter to the station. He arrives on the platform as the train departs. Tearful Peter turns to see Leanne standing on the concourse. They embrace.
