There is fierce competition in the Vic as Roxy holds auditions for new bar staff.

There is fierce competition in the Vic as Roxy holds auditions for new bar staff, while Amira's attempt to seduce Syed leads her into dangerous territory.

Peggy is clearly finding not being in charge of the Vic hard and offers Roxy assistance with numerous tasks but Roxy refuses her help, insisting she needs to get her head around it all. 

Roxy receives a letter stating that Tracey is taking her to court for unfair dismissal. Peggy tells Roxy that she should take Tracey back but Roxy refuses. Roxy announces that she’s going to hold auditions to get a new barmaid. She points out that Tracey can apply so therefore she can’t complain at the tribunal but Roxy stresses that with her as a judge she’s unlikely to win. 

Jack arrives at the Vic with flowers for Ronnie. Danny introduces himself but when Jack does the same, he’s met with a cool reception from Danny. Jack isn’t impressed when Danny asks which sister the flowers are for and implies that Danny has only turned up as Roxy has inherited some money. Jack tells Danny to make sure Ronnie gets the flowers.

Roxy starts the auditions and Amira, Billy and Stacey are all amongst those vying for the position. Roxy sets them a challenge, to make a cocktail and to pull a decent pint and she enlists the help of her new staff, Danny and Christian. Shirley and Tracey arrive to Roxy’s displeasure.

Christian’s embarrassed when his boyfriend, Leyton, arrives for the audition so he takes a break but bumps into Syed. They awkwardly talk about Syed’s honeymoon. Syed claims it was perfect and Christian tells him that his relationship with Leyton is going really well. They both agree they should move on. Syed walks away happy but Christian is hurt.

The auditions are underway. Danny and Amira flirt. Amira knocks Tracey causing her to spill her drink and Roxy rejoices in being able to deduct points from Tracey. Stacey makes her cocktail and just as she is about to try it Becca shouts out “yeah, get the baby drunk” and the whole pub realise she is pregnant. Mortified Stacey rushes out. Things go from bad to worse for Amira when she is asked to change a barrel and ends up covered in beer.

Jack returns and sees that Danny has not given Ronnie the flowers. Jack asks Peggy where Ronnie could be and Peggy suggests she may be at her father’s grave.

Shirley, Billy and Tracey and the others are furious when Roxy announces that no-one has the job as they didn’t come up to scratch. Roxy realises things have got out of hand. 

Roxy takes Christian, Danny and Chelsea for a curry after the day’s shenanigans but the atmosphere becomes awkward when Shirley and Tracey arrive. Whilst brainstorming ideas for the Vic, Christian tells Roxy that for things to be a success, she is going to need to get Tracey back. Roxy realises she has to make friends with Tracey and Shirley and she admits that she needs their help. They both agree to take their jobs back and Tracey even suggests they should hold a curry night. Roxy is impressed.

Dr Al arrives and asks Roxy where she has been as they had arranged for her to meet his friends. They arrange to speak tomorrow, but he is clearly disappointed. 

Jack spots Ronnie at Archie’s graveside. When Ronnie walks away from the grave, Jack is shocked when he realises that Ronnie has torn and scattered the flowers at Archie’s grave. 

After her unsuccessful audition Amira arrives at the Unit. She tells Syed that she wants to work with him so they can spend more time together. She soon makes an excuse to leave as she comes up with a plan. When she returns, she is wearing a long coat with only lingerie underneath. Syed becomes very awkward. He tells her to get dressed in case anyone walks in.

Upset by Syed’s rejection, Amira flees heartbroken but she soon bumps into Danny and as he comforts her they start to kiss. 

Bianca is stressed that she doesn’t have enough money for the wedding she really wants. She visits Pat in hospital who soon gets Bianca to admit that she is upset as she hasn’t heard back from her dad, David, about the wedding. Pat tries to make excuses and suggests Bianca calls David but she refuses. However, later whilst alone, Pat makes the call.

Stacey tells Bradley that she and Becca are off to find jobs but Bradley asks Stacey for a word. Becca looks on as he shows her a piece of paper and Stacey nods before hugging Bradley.

Becca asks Stacey what the secret chat with Bradley was about. Stacey just says it was ‘baby stuff’. 

Becca apologises to Stacey for her outburst during the auditions. Stacey is full of apologies when she sees Bradley as it's clear he knows that people have been saying that they don’t think the baby is his. 

It’s Dotty’s birthday party but she’s unhappy as she sits alone in her living room surrounded by balloons, presents and cards. Dot calls Ricky to ask if he’s bringing Tiffany and Liam over but Ricky pretends that Tiff and Liam are not in as they don’t want to go.

Dotty’s day gets worse when she sees Tiffany and Liam playing in the street.  Annoyed, she asks Dot “isn’t it Tiffany’s Birthday soon?” and then smiles to herself.
