2508: Sarah is accused of hitting a child

After a grilling from Mercedes, Theresa lies and tells her Ste is in the past, hinting she's got her eye on someone else. Pleased to hear this, Mercedes offers Theresa her 'pulling dress' and some tips. Theresa enlists the help of Anita and the pair skip class to cook Ste a meal but it all ends in disaster. Not knowing what to do, Theresa eventually takes Anita's advice and texts Ste, telling him how she feels, but is gutted when she receives a frosty text back.

Theresa decides to head round to his flat but on the way, they spot Ste and Justin outside The Dog. Theresa and Anita hide out of view and hear Ste telling Justin that Theresa is bad news and too young for him. Theresa blames Anita for her advice and the pair fall out.

Desperate, a nervous Theresa turns up on Ste's doorstep, glammed up wearing Mercedes' dress, eager to prove she's not too young for him. Ste's unable to resist and lustfully leads Theresa to his bedroom.

Sarah meets Steph at MOBS and although it's still awkward, they share their excitement over the dance school's success. Archie passes by on his way to bowls and Steph overly encourages him to join the class that day, obviously trying to play matchmaker between him and Sarah.

At the class, Archie turns up wearing leg warmers and a headband and throws himself into it, causing chaos in the process. While trying to help him, Sarah is interrupted by Lydia who accuses her of hitting her sister, Persephone.

An innocent Sarah fiercely denies the claims but is still fired by Steph who puts the school's reputation first. Feeling lower than ever, Sarah gets drunk with Archie but feels even worse when he rejects her advances and leaves.

Leila and Justin are both trying to act normal, despite both being really uncomfortable with their situation. Leila has too many belongings to fit in Justin's room and her messiness is really starting to annoy Ste, who moans to Justin. Justin unconvincingly tells Ste he thinks that his relationship is going to work. Leila's attempts to help out in the flat result in a broken boiler and a smashed shelf. To redeem herself, Leila gets in some beers and cooks the lads a feast, which manages to restore the peace.

A fed up Tom and Holly are desperately wanting a case for their detective agency, Cunningham Crime Busters. They sit sharing a hot chocolate in Il Gnosh, much to the annoyance of Mercedes. Business is booming with her dodgy dealings and Tom and Holly are just getting in the way so she tries to throw them out.

Holly stands her ground, threatening to tell Cindy and Mercedes backs down, before getting them another drink. The pair give up and decide to leave Il Gnosh, but Holly suddenly notices that Mercedes is selling stock and pocketing the money. Finally, Holly and Tom have found the case they've been looking for!
