2494: Sasha enjoys a meal with Warren and Spencer

Michaela eagerly anticipates Zak's first visit to meet the family but with all the dogs making the McQueens' even more of a madhouse than usual, she's beginning to regret taking responsibility for them.

When Zak arrives, the McQueens take great pleasure in putting him through the motions. Mercedes and Jacqui are planning a trip down to the shopping centre to renew some old habits but Myra is quick to tell them to forget it - that is until Jacqui reminds her of the ever-growing stack of bills gathering dust in the hall.

Desperation forces Myra to admit this may be a good idea and she even tries on one of the pregnancy bumps just as Theresa walks in. The entire McQueen clan pile out of the house leaving Zak to watch over the dogs. Meanwhile, Michaela is incensed that Malachy seems to be getting preferential treatment to Zak and even Mercedes finds it a little strange but they don't have time to complain.

The McQueens embark on a massive shoplifting spree which proves to be a huge success and it seems like normal service has resumed when Jacqui and Mercedes survey the spoils of their efforts.

Theresa's having no fun working for Carmel who's making her clean around Evissa. Carmel begins to wonder if Theresa's predisposition to thievery and bunking off school is actually an inevitable byproduct of being a McQueen. Carmel confronts Theresa about this and uses herself as an example role model, explaining that there is another, honest way to make a living. When the phone rings, Theresa spots her chance to escape the pious lecture and bolts out of Evissa as quick as her legs will carry her.

Warren has some serious making up to do with both Spencer and Sasha after betraying their trust yesterday. Fortunately for Warren, he can kill two birds with one stone and since Sasha is so keen to please, he asks her to hang out with Spencer again. She obliges and decides to take Spencer to MOBS for a smoothie.

Warren invites her to stay for dinner and he even manages to patch things up with Spencer. Things are nearly spoiled when Sasha brings up Louise, prompting Warren to snap at her. He quickly apologises, recognising domestic peace is more important than his inner demons. There's a strange calm as they all sit and eat dinner - Sasha, in particular, noticing that as the three of them sit there, they almost look like a family…

Loretta is taking care of Dom who is enjoying being nursed back to health while painting his model soldiers. But Dom's perfect day is threatened when Loretta tells him she has to go back to work today. Thinking on his feet, Dom feigns a sudden downturn in his recovery and Loretta refuses to leave him alone. Loretta stays to look after Dom but quickly cottons on to what he's doing. She allows him to believe he's tricked her into staying but in truth, she wants to be there too.

When Loretta finally catches him out for pulling a sickie, Dom can't apologise enough, confessing that he just loves spending time with her. Loretta makes him squirm for just a few moments before admitting that she feels the same way. The loved-up young couple settle down to an afternoon in front of a Bill Oddie DVD -two peas in a slightly weird pod.
