Plot[]
Tommy and Tina make up and agree to tackle their problems together. Gary's depressed. Owen and Anna wish they could help. Stella warns Leanne that she'll soon tire of Gloria's company. Leanne suggests they kiss and make up but Stella's adamant that Gloria owes her an apology. When Lloyd calls in the bookies, Gloria uses her psychic powers to predict a winning horse for him. Lloyd wins £200 and leaves impressed. Leanne's annoyed. Izzy calls into the yard and cries on Owen's shoulder, admitting that she loves Gary deeply but knows she can't give him the baby he craves. Owen tells Tina about Gary and Izzy's plight. Tina suggests that he looks on the internet for information on surrogacy. Owen dupes Gary and Izzy into a meeting at No.6 and tells them how he's done some research and is willing to pay for a surrogate. Gary and Izzy are thrilled. Fed up with Gloria, Leanne begs Stella to take her mother back but Stella insists that she wants an apology from Gloria first. Tyrone and Kirsty announce that they're calling their daughter Ruby. Gloria compliments Nick on his bistro and belittles Gail for her cleaning job. At his wits' end, Tommy tells Tina how Micky from the pizza place has been onto him and is demanding £2,000 for the repairs to the van. Owen thanks Tina for her surrogacy suggestion and lets slip that it's going to cost him in excess of £15,000. Tina semi-jokingly suggests that she should offer up her services as a surrogate mother.
