On Monday at 7:30pm, Tina’s convinced David has something to do with Joe’s drug addiction. David proclaims his innocence but Tina knows David of old and she’s not buying it. Meanwhile, the doctor wants to prescribe methadone for Joe to alleviate his withdrawal, but Joe refuses any more drugs.

The doctor tells Gail the only way Joe will get through the next few weeks is with her full support, so Gail lets Joe know that she’ll be there for him, but she later admits to Audrey that she’s not sure she can deal with Joe’s addiction and is feeling trapped.

With the wedding just days away, Eddie shows Steve his grand design for the wedding cake, but Steve’s unimpressed and is distracted by seeing Becky with Slug again. Unbeknownst to Steve, Slug demands cash from Becky, and when she’s not forthcoming, he threatens to turn up at her wedding.

Ready to start work at the garage, Chesney asks Fiz if she’ll alter his overalls for him. Fiz is just glad he’s talking to her and with a slightly lighter heart, she heads to the prison to visit John, wearing her engagement ring. John assumes she’s got it back from the jewellers and Fiz is forced to lie to him, still unable to tell him about Chesney’s disapproval.

Tony apologises to Michelle and they agree to put their differences behind them. Just in time it seems as Maria and baby Liam arrive back from Ireland. Tony’s delight is evident but short-lived when Maria drops the bombshell that she’s thinking of moving to Ireland.

Elsewhere Rosie threatens to withdraw her investment if Luke doesn’t stop sniffing round Michelle. To appease her, Luke promises to market her underwear designs.

At 8:30pm, Maria and Tony pussyfoot round each other, neither daring to admit their true feelings. Michelle’s delighted to see Maria and the baby and suggests that she could rent No.7 from her when she moves to Ireland. Maria’s non-committal, still unsure if the move is what she really wants.

Maria finally opens up and admits to Fiz that she’s in love with Tony, and romantic Fiz reckons she should just tell him. Emboldened by Fiz’s words Maria’s about to admit her feelings for Tony but she bottles out, and searching for something, to say asks him if he’d like to be Liam’s God Father. Tony accepts but makes it clear he’d like to be more, finally admitting his true feelings. How will Maria react?

Tina quizzes first Joe and then Graeme about the drugs. She finally realises how David took advantage of her dad and, furious, she confronts David, accusing him of feeding Joe’s drug habit and tells him if he ever crosses her or Joe again, he’ll regret it.

It’s a bad day for Ashley who has to cope with Graeme building a ‘Blackpool Tower’ out of sausages. A sensitive Ashley accuses him of taking the mickey out his vasectomy, but worse is to come when Claire makes it evident she’s looking forward to a romantic night in and Ashley is sure his guilt will affect his ‘performance’.

Elsewhere, Becky arranges for Jim to attend the wedding as a surprise for Steve. Steve’s concerned, wondering what she’s up to, and is convinced that her secretive behaviour has something to do with Slug.

On Thursday, unaware of the events of the previous evening Michelle lets herself into No.7. Maria quickly chucks a blanket on the sofa and pretends Tony spent the night there. Michelle’s none the wiser but the close shave prompts Maria and Tony to agree they must work out a way to tell Michelle how they’ve fallen in love…

But the plan doesn’t quite work out when Michelle and Ryan arrive home later, only to be confronted by Tony and Maria snogging on the sofa. Michelle’s furious with Tony and Maria, pointing out that Liam’s barely cold in his grave. Tony tries to defend their actions but Michelle storms out in disgust.

Becky’s thrilled when she gets a call telling her she’s won the honeymoon competition and they’re off on the trip of a lifetime. As her hen night starts, Becky sticks to soft drinks, determined she’s not going to mess up her wedding again. Steve’s stag night isn’t quite such a sober affair as Ashley’s on a mission to get drunk – unable to face telling Claire the truth about the vasectomy. Steve’s also still concerned about Slug and confronts Becky about her furtive phone calls. Becky gets upset and explains that she was trying to get Jim along to the wedding as a surprise.

Meanwhile, Lloyd’s fed up that he’s still had no word from Liz, but he’s unaware that she and Andy have arrived at Piccadilly Station and are on their way to the Rovers.

Elsewhere, love’s young dream Jason and Tina spend the evening in their new flat with a takeaway, and Jason does his best to take Tina’s mind off the situation with her dad.

On Friday at 7:30pm, it’s the day of Becky and Steve’s second wedding. Becky’s determined that nothing’s going to spoil this one. Best man Lloyd helps Steve get ready for the big day, and things get off to a great start for the groom when his mum and brother arrive at the Rovers.

Meanwhile, over the road, Hayley and Natasha help an excited and, more importantly, sober, Becky with her wedding dress, hair and make-up. Eddie puts the finishing touches to Steve and Becky’s wedding cake and he and Anna deliver it to the Rovers for the reception.

Despite some pre wedding nerves from Becky, the stage is set for a fabulous day, and when Jim arrives at the last minute, Becky and Steve feel nothing can go wrong and prepare to make their vows.

But, neither had banked on Slug and Hooch’s revenge, and as the happy couple return to the pub for their reception, the nightmare that awaits them makes Becky’s drunken antics at their first wedding pale into insignificance as the police announce they are searching the pub for drugs.

Elsewhere Michelle collects her stuff from No.7. She apologises to Maria for overreacting and wishes her and Tony well.

At 8:30pm, the McDonalds and their assembled guests are horrified to discover that the police are searching the entire premises, and even more shocked when they find what they’re looking for and arrest a devastated Becky. Steve reassures Becky and tells her he’ll stand by her, but she realises that he’s automatically assumed she’s guilty and is gutted as she’s taken away by the police.

But, when he later discovers that Becky really had won the dream honeymoon and didn’t pay for it by breaking the law, he feels guilty and heads off to the station to support her.

At the station, Hooch is crowing over Becky’s arrest and she soon realises that he was behind the whole thing, but with no way to prove it, she finds herself spending her wedding night in a cell.

Tony goes to see Maria at No.7. He’s delighted when she suggests that he should move in on a permanent basis and he heads home to pack his things. Maria’s thrilled as she now feels they’re a ‘family’.
