Sylvia panics and lies, telling him that Roy owns the bistro. Milton's impressed by the bistro but it soon becomes clear that Roy is not the owner. Sylvia admits she lied to impress him and Milton is sympathetic.Sylvia shows Milton the café. Milton enthuses to Roy about how much he loves his retro diner. Milton excitedly tells Roy and Hayley how they should turn Roy's Rolls into a railway themed restaurant called "Beef Encounter" and open a chain of them across the globe. Roy's underwhelmed whilst Sylvia thinks that Milton's a genius. Milton mistakenly thinks the reason that Roy isn't keen on his wonderful business idea is lack of funds and tells Sylvia that's easily solved. Milton tells Roy that they will be partners in "Beef Encounter" as he plans to buy next door and remove the dividing wall. Roy makes it plain to Milton that they will never be business partners. Sylvia is shocked by his outburst. Sylvia tells Roy that she is ashamed of him for throwing Milton's offer back in his face. Hayley stands by Roy's decision not to accept Milton's offer. Milton asks Sylvia to move back to America with him. Sylvia tells Roy how Milton's invited her to live in the States with him, hoping that Roy will beg her to stay. Roy remains stiff upper-lipped and Sylvia's upset. Milton and Sylvia prepare to leave for the airport. Roy still can't admit that he doesn't want his mother to leave. Hayley's exasperated with him. Milton and Sylvia leave for Palm Springs. Still concealing his feelings, Roy sadly waves them off. Hayley's concerned for him. Roy admits to Hayley the reason he couldn't bring himself to ask Sylvia to stay was for fear of her rejecting him again. As Hayley comforts him, there's a banging on the door. Sylvia bustles in explaining how she's sent Milton to America alone as she realised in the check-in queue she couldn't possibly live with a bunch of loud Americans. Roy and Sylvia share a smile, each pleased to see the other. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Coronation Street characters (2012)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
