At the latest prison visit, Harvey hands Nick a piece of paper which tells him that he has cash that he can have to buy the Bistro if that's what he wants.

Stephen posions Audrey?
Feeling humiliated, Stephen quits his new job as a delivery driver and does his best to put Nick off from Sam and Audrey going on the cruise by claiming that Audrey's drinking again, but Nick's insistent that it goes ahead. Desperate, Stephen crushes Audrey's antidepressants into a powder before heading to the Rovers, intent on spiking her to demonstrate his point to Nick. Will he go through with it?
A grovelling Stephen soon manages to get his job back with Six Fellas, but tells an eavesdropping Gail that the call was a business meeting and rushes off, accidentally dropping his phone. On his first delivery, Stephen's approached by a group of teens who nick his delivery box and start demanding money - but when Stephen spies Elaine across the road, he tries desperately to speed off on his moped but loses control and crashes.
