Vera is determined to make contact with Ivy so when Maude Grimes offers to conduct a seance in Don and Josie's house, Vera jumps at the chance. However, Josie isn't so keen when she finds out their plans but she finally gives in as she feels sorry for Vera who believes that Ivy's spirit is in torment. Don comes home from work to find Vera and Maude trying to raise the spirit of Ivy and throws them both out onto the street. In an effort to keep Vera quiet once and for all, Don calls in an old friend who poses as a priest and `exorcises' the house. With his candle, crucifix and chants of "nintendo, omnibus, trolleybus" you know he's not for real! But Vera's happy now that she thinks Ivy's spirit is put to rest. The priest and Don have a drink in the Rovers afterwards and when they leave, he forgets to take his bag with him which he's used for the exorcism. Jack decides to open it up and breaks a crucifix so Vera takes this as a sign that Ivy has been let loose and is floating around the Rovers. (Well at least it'll keep the beer chilled).

Kelly, Ken's childminder, seems to be doing okay despite Emily and Percy's well meaning but irritating interference.

Audrey's son Steven gives a presentation at the town hall to promote his line of sportswear in England. All goes well and Gail is on hand to help Alma with the buffet luncheon while Martin looks after the Cafe. Kerry, Steven's business colleague, visits Steve and Vicky in the print shop to have a look around their business after they put in a bid for the contract, but she isn't impressed by what she sees and tells Steven this. She also found out that the last contract Steve McDonald worked on was given to him because of Mike Baldwin and she tells Steven this news. Later, in the Rovers, Steven announces his decision to award Mike Baldwin the contract to manufacture his clothing in England and announces to everyone that he thinks Alma is marvellous for all the help she has given him. The next day, Alma and Mike meet with Steven in his hotel. They arrive late and Steven gives Alma his room key so she can get changed in there. After the meeting, everyone is having a drink in the hotel reception, everyone except Alma and Steven.... Alma is in Steven's room when he comes in, he tells her how much he appreciates her help. Alma tells him that she hasn't met anyone quite like Steven before and he returns the compliment. Then, Alma starts snogging Steven! He's confused, it looks like this isn't what he wants and Alma realises she's made a fool of herself and runs out of the hotel room, straight into Audrey who has come to collect the two of them as the taxi is waiting to take them all home. "What's going on?" asks Audrey. Steven shouts at Audrey to go downstairs, Alma runs into the elevator but by the time Audrey gets there, Alma is already on her way downstairs. Will Audrey find out that her best friend snogged her son?

Fiona pays Denise a visit to let her know how hurt she is that Denise has sold the salon to John (thereby making her unemployed) just after she had made Fiona Manager of the place and left her in sole control. Denise tells Fiona that the sale of the salon isn't final yet and urges Fiona to find the 4,500 pounds to buy it herself. Fiona is stunned, she doesn't know what to do but after a stiff drink in the Rovers she decides to go for it. She tries the bank but they're not interested and then she really upsets Rita by asking her for the money. Rita refuses, saying "Does everyone round here think I'm just an old biddy with more money than sense?" Finally, Fiona's brother, Ashleigh, makes an appearance on the Street. He takes a look around the salon, looks at the books, and tells Fiona he'd be happy to lend her the money. Ashleigh seems to be `something in computers' and tells Fiona she is lucky to live in a place with such a community spirit when he spends his time in the city "helping out some Internet anorak who's pressed the wrong key" (does he mean us?!)

More marital disharmony between Jim and Liz. Andy is in arrears to the tune of 50 pounds which he owes to Des for rent. Liz gives Andy the money, telling him that she'd much prefer him to be in debt to her than to Des. When Jim finds out she's done this, he is really mad with her, and thinks she has done it to be nice to Des, rather than to help Andy out. Liz confides in Deidre that things are going badly wrong between her and Jim.
