Sunday 14 October 2012 One Hour episode
After Tracy's announcement, Ryan is shell-shocked and admits that he's scared to death at the thought of being a dad. Michelle tells Ryan that Tracy has done this to spite her and Steve and that he is too stupid to realise it. When Steve hears the news, he storms over to see Tracy, dropping the bombshell on Ken and Deirdre. They're stunned as Steve rails at Tracy. Is there nothing she won't do to get back at him? Alone, Steve begs Tracy to have a termination which he'll pay for but she refuses. Ryan goes to see Tracy who turns on the waterworks, telling Ryan that Steve and Michelle tried to pay for her to get rid of the baby. Ryan's appalled. Later in the pub Tracy makes sure everyone hears that she's going to be the mother of Michelle's grandchild. Before Michelle can launch herself at her, Ryan announces that he's standing by Tracy and they'll raise the baby together, whilst accusing Michelle of plotting behind his back to get rid of his child. Michelle denies all knowledge but Ryan doesn't believe her. Deirdre gives Tracy and Ryan her support. Steve tries to comfort a devastated Michelle but is in for a shock when she blames him for the whole ugly mess. As their future hangs in the balance, it looks like Tracy's wicked plan has finally paid off!
Kylie's grateful when Leanne takes Max out for the day and suggests to David that they make the most of their time alone. David just wants to chill but when Nick is run off his feet at the Bistro, Gail, David and Kylie are roped into helping with a road haulers' wives' lunch. Kylie's surprised by how much she enjoys herself.
Gloria is flighty when the Rovers' first B&B guest arrives. Things go well until Stella arrives back earlier than expected and orders Gloria to get rid of the guest.

Monday 15 October 2012
With Lewis still missing (having disappeared from the Eurostar on the way home) Audrey is persuaded by the police to go on local television in a plea to find Lewis. As the Street watch her pour her heart out, gossip about Lewis's dubious past and their turbulent relationship is rife. David, meanwhile, shares his doubts about the true nature of Lewis' disappearance to Nick. Nick warns him not to air these feelings when Audrey is in ear-shot. Later, however, he has a visit at the Bistro from a mysterious stranger, alerted by the recent press coverage, who claims to be able to shed some light on Lewis' whereabouts!
Ryan tells Michelle that regardless of her feelings on the subject, he's having a baby with Tracy and they're off to see a midwife to register the pregnancy. Later at the factory, Michelle is at her wits' end when she catches the factory girls gossiping about the complicated relationships between the Barlows and the McDonalds. Rob steps in to stop her blowing her top when Ryan and Tracy arrive. Tracy makes Ryan apologise for all the trouble they've caused. He then announces his plans to prevent any further acrimony occurring. And they're far from what Michelle would have wanted to hear.
Lloyd and Mandy have been getting on well despite not hearing from Jenna. While they're sharing a moment reflecting on the past, Jenna finally turns up having done some thinking. Will she agree to them all going out to dinner to talk things over?

Monday 15 October 2012
Mysterious stranger Penny explains to Audrey that Lewis (or "Hugh" as he called himself to her) is a conman who she thought was her lover but ripped her off for thousands and did a runner. She spotted him on the Eurostar by chance and he fled. Audrey remains adamant that Lewis has changed and genuinely loves her. But later at Emily's birthday bash in the cafe, Audrey clocks Rita, Dennis and Norris questioning Gail. Sick of Norris' probing, Audrey finally admits she's been a fool again, it looks like Lewis has scarpered once more. But as an emotional Audrey leaves, she's unaware she's being watched from across the street.
Steve and Michelle's recent tiffs are forgotten when she tearfully tells him of Ryan and Tracy's plans to move to Glasgow. Steve decides matters are now well and truly out of hand and heads to No 1 with Michelle to discuss the situation like adults. Tracy claims that all she wants is to be happy with Ryan. Steve, to Michelle's horror, then says he thinks Ryan and Tracy should move into the flat with them. Will Michelle agree?
Lloyd and Mandy are growing closer but the chance of any romance is ruined when Mandy gets upset realising Jenna's not going to turn up for dinner.
Mary has another theme night success at the cafe at the expense of the Bistro. Gloria persuades Stella to go on holiday leaving her in charge of the Rovers.
Friday 19 October 2012
After a sleepless night, Audrey's alone in the salon when Lewis suddenly appears. She demands to know where he's been. Lewis explains how he bumped into a woman on the Eurostar to whom he owes 10K so had no choice but to flee the train. He's shocked when Audrey reveals she knows all about Penny because she came looking for him. When it sinks in that she's here in Weatherfield, Lewis decides he has to run away and he asks Audrey to go with him. Audrey eventually agrees, handing the salon master keys for David to a puzzled Kylie and Nick. Agreeing she's been acting strangely the Platts head over to Audrey's house.
The morning after she and Ryan have moved into the flat, Tracy makes breakfast. Michelle holds her tongue as Tracy keeps calling her Granny but later explodes in front of Steve. Tracy catches the tail end of this and Steve sees how much she's relishing driving a wedge between him and Michelle. When he later catches Tracy showing little interest in Ryan's conversation skills, his suspicions are piqued. Watching on, Beth wonders what exactly Tracy sees in Ryan. Will Tracy admit that her relationship with Ryan is all part of a plan?
Lloyd tries to talk to Mandy about their near kiss but Mandy closes down the conversation and suggests it's time she moved out. Lloyd's gutted. Meeting up with Jenna, he listens to her explanation that a cosy dinner with Lloyd and her mum felt disloyal to her dad. Understanding, Lloyd suggests they all meet on neutral ground instead.
Mary's shattered but when Kylie makes disparaging remarks about Roy's Rolls, she's more determined than ever to outdo the Bistro and starts planning a Moroccan night.
Friday 19 October 2012
Taking in the suitcases, a horrified Gail demands answers as Audrey confesses that she had been carried away with the idea of a fresh start with Lewis but realised it was nonsense and that running away wasn't the answer. As a row escalates, Penny arrives and clocking Lewis, turns tail to call the police until Audrey begs her to stay. Penny berates Lewis who takes what she has to say on the chin. Ignoring Gail telling her to wake up and smell the coffee, Audrey insists that Lewis is a changed man. Penny doesn't care. She's still out of pocket. Audrey's family are stunned as she writes Penny a cheque for £10k clearing Lewis' debts.
Now convinced that Tracy isn't really interested in Ryan, but is simply using him as a weapon to come between him and Michelle, Steve hatches a plan. When Michelle prepares a romantic meal for him, Steve turns round and tells her it's over between them. As a shocked Michelle is left reeling, how will Tracy react?
Mandy and Lloyd are relieved when Jenna meets them at the cafe where Jenna apologises for her behaviour. Having had the chance to talk, Mandy later rewards Lloyd for his part in it with a kiss.
Mary throws a successful Moroccan night at Roy's Rolls but Anna's tired out and says there are to be no more themed nights. Rita's hackles rise as Gloria lavishes Dennis with free drinks, convinced he's the mystery judge of the pub of the Year competition.
