2511: Zak realises he's been signed up to the TA

Tony's back in the village and Dom's left with a lot of explaining to do when Tony questions why Mercedes and Cindy are working in Il Gnosh. Dom takes Tony back to the flat to explain, while elsewhere, Jacqui is having mixed feelings about Tony's return. After a heart-to-heart with Mercedes, Jacqui resigns herself to the fact that she and Tony are just not meant to be together. Mercedes and Cindy are forced to re-think their side business in a bid to prevent Tony finding out they're selling meat under the counter. They're totally unaware, however, that Tom and Holly are onto them, having taken photos of their misdemeanours.

When Tom shows him the pictures, Tony's delighted to have the proof that he needs to sack Mercedes. On a high, Tony's gutted when his attempts to make amends with Jacqui fall flat as she tells him she feels absolutely nothing for him.
