2502: Zak confronts Rhys

After the close call with Josh yesterday, Amy's reluctant to let Ste look after Leah, but eventually relents under pressure. When Josh is late to meet her, Amy's temper is fuelled when he arrives and talks non-stop about his uni course and new friend Lydia. Feeling rejected and left behind by Josh's new life, Amy vents her frustrations and tells him exactly how she feels.

A bemused Josh looks on, unaware until now of the extent of Amy's jealousy. Ste guesses all is not right with Josh when Amy comes to pick up Leah. Amy tells Ste about Josh and his new friend Lydia and Ste can't resist telling her he thinks Josh is an idiot for not wanting to spend his time with her and Leah.

After Josh nearly catches Ste with Amy and Leah once again, Amy makes a decision and tells Ste he can't see her and Leah anymore. Ste misreads her frustration as attraction and reacts by attempting to kiss her. Totally flustered, she flees declaring that there is definitely no future for them - she's with Josh and that's the way it's going to stay. Ste's left reeling as his impromptu kiss may have cost him a heavy price.

Elliot and Zak go head-to-head in a pancake competition, both convinced they own the best recipe. Talk soon turns to Hayley's date with Rhys and she informs everyone it went well but she won't be seeing him again. However, her face tells a different story and when Leila gently asks Hayley about her date, she's shocked to hear that Rhys did a runner.

As the pancake tasting gets underway, Michaela arrives and sensing there's a story behind Hayley and Rhys' so-called date, forces the truth from Hayley. Zak is dismayed to hear about Rhys' actions and confronts him in the SU Bar. Forcing him to do the honourable thing, Rhys reluctantly faces Hayley. An uncomfortable conversation ensues and it becomes clear Rhys' problem is with her wheelchair. Hayley bravely faces his excuses with dignity before leaving and allowing her tears to fall.

Calvin's annoyed to hear that Carmel's being taken out on the beat by Mark and heads off to get some fresh air. Meanwhile, Carmel's worried about Calvin's behaviour when he appears preoccupied with something.

Michaela's impressed with Sasha's bag making techniques and suggests she should try selling some. Keen on the idea and eager for any excuse to talk to Warren, Sasha wonders if she could put a show on at the Loft.

Calvin goes to the loft to talk to Warren about a laptop scam when Sasha arrives to ask about holding her handbag show. Calvin tries to bundle Sasha out of the office before she can see the stolen laptops. Sasha is furious to be treated like a child in front of Warren and reminds him of the dangerous secret she holds for him. Furious that Sasha brought up Nige so casually, Calvin forces a sullen Sasha out.

Steph and Sarah are on a quest to advertise the dance school, but are distracted when she spots dirty tables in Mobs and reprimands Cindy for shoddy standards. Archie's arrival makes Sarah uncomfortable, especially when he shows interest in joining a dance class. Steph's thrilled but as the session gets underway, she's alarmed when Sarah tries to massage her. Steph's convinced that Sarah is getting carried away with her attraction towards her.

Cindy arrives to watch Archie and some of his sports friends take part in the class but is horrified that they're not the young, beefy rugby players she'd hoped for… but Archie's Bowles team. Steph's temper flares when she sees Cindy has deserted Mobs yet again and accuses her of shirking her responsibilities. A huge row ensues and Cindy finds herself once again unemployed.
