Ryan is feeling excluded from the Rovers and in the way at Maria and Liam's. He refuses to accept Steve's offer of a lift to school with Alex and enjoys telling Michelle that Maria has already made him a packed lunch. Meanwhile, Steve is worrying about the lack of space at the pub and thinks they might have to move.

David is convinced that Tina is testing his love for her and tells Darryl that he needs to do something big to prove it. But Darryl isn’t convinced that David's plan to have her name tattooed on his arm is one of his better ideas.
