Becky gets two proposals!

Jason surprises Becky with tickets for a romantic getaway in Spain for Valentine's, but a superstitious Becky refuses to travel on Friday the 13th. Jason is determined to make this Valentine's Day special and later he bursts into the cafe in a naval uniform Officer And A Gentleman-style and sweeps Becky off her feet, then he takes her outside where a gleaming Harley awaits. Becky is stunned when Jason produces an engagement ring. Meanwhile, Steve has his own pre-Valentine's surprise for Becky after finding out that she refused to go on holiday with Jason. Unaware of Jason's subsequent extravagant proposal he arms himself with a bunch of flowers and Michelle's old engagement ring to pop the question. Steve is left gutted when he realises that he's too late.

When Becky arrives in the Rovers to celebrate she is surprised by Steve's seemingly calm reaction. When Becky pops out for a fag she finds an angry and resentful Steve who makes his real feelings known and she's stunned as he produces the ring he had planned to give her and asks her to marry him instead! Sally is very pleased with Graeme's handiwork in the garden, but when Kevin comes home she passes the work off as her own.
