Plot[]
Part One: Tyrone and Jason help Roy clear up the graffiti from the front of the cafe. He tells them he's pleading guilty at the magistrate's hearing. Gary is being discharged from hospital though Owen has doubts about how sorry he feels for what he's done. Erica confides in Liz that she only ever wanted a holiday fling with Nick and she's worried that he expects more now that she's not returning to Spain. Steph is determined to get a New Year's snog from Gavin and texts Katy to say so. She's mortified to realise she's accidentally sent the text to Gavin and grabs his phone to delete the message. He sees it in her hands and angrily snatches it back from her. Amy continues to wind up Norris that No.1 is haunted by Blanche. Nick confides in Leanne that he's also worried that Erica wants a proper relationship with him. Gary arrives back from hospital and calls in the cafe to see Roy. He tells Roy how sorry he is for breaking into the cafe and how he deserves to be punished. Roy feels guiltier than ever. Liz tells Steve he can borrow the funds from the Rovers' account to pay his staff.
Part Two: Gavin apologises to Steph, telling her that he's had money problems and didn't want her to see the texts from his bank. Michael's been evicted from his flat and David allows him to move into No.8 until he sorts himself out. Max wants to know if Kylie left because of him. David persuades him that wasn't the reason. Steve plucks up the courage to present Michelle with the bracelet he bought her but he overhears her telling Tony how Steve is her past and she's looking to the future now. Gary and Faye persuade Owen and Anna to go for a New Year drink. Alya calls on Gary and wishes him a Happy New Year and a new beginning. Anna wishes Alya well, annoying Owen. The residents sing in the New Year, as Steph gets her kiss and Steve sobs to himself in his room...
