2534: Ash causes a crash at the racetrack

The day of the bike race has arrived and Justin is terrified of making a fool of himself in front of Hannah. He still can't ride properly and already feels like a loser before the race has even begun. Hannah knows that Justin doesn't stand a chance and fears he may hurt himself, so she tries to convince him not to race. Justin, however, is defiant.

Ash and Rhys taunt Justin about the race which only serves to make him more determined to compete. But when he sees how good Ash's riding is, he knows the race is as good as over. Justin retaliates by telling Ash that Hannah has been helping him fix his bike and gains one over on him.

In anger, Ash secretly tampers with Justin's bike before the race. He's later horrified when Hannah suddenly rides off on it, in a bid to prove that she can ride.

Justin realises what Ash has done and follows Hannah on Ash's bike, but it's not long before her bike packs in and Hannah is flung off, landing unconscious near a distraught Justin.

Anita is still shaken after Gaz's attack and tries to wash the remains of the paint from her hair. Unaware of what's happened, Theresa walks into the bathroom but is surprised when Anita has a go and throws her out. Theresa shrugs it off and heads downstairs to Bel and Carmel.

Later, she overhears what she presumes to be chatter and laughter at her expense. She heads out but soon runs into Gaz and with no chance of avoiding him, she is forced to face her bully once more. Gaz demands Anita to get on her knees and beg him to stop bullying her, but cruelly rubs a meat pie all over her face.

Later at the Roys', Anita arrives home in a state, much to the shock of Bel, Carmel, and Theresa. Shaken and upset, Anita will only speak to Theresa and eventually admits what Gaz has done…

Keen to show her gratitude for letting them stay, Carmel decides to cook the Roys' dinner. She enlists the help of a reluctant Theresa, who is fed up and bored living with the family. Carmel decides to make lasagne but takes a joking Theresa seriously when she questions whether the Roys can eat Italian food.

Bel arrives home and feels a bit put out watching Carmel root around her kitchen. Seeing the recipe book, she puts Carmel straight, telling her that she's the cook of the house and won't need her help. Carmel recoils in horror as Bel takes out a bag of potatoes, amusing them all with her fear.

Nancy is totally fed up with Jacqui living with her and Russ. Jacqui offends Nancy when she tells her the dinner she cooked has upset her stomach and then heads out for the day, leaving Russ to mind Max. Russ is made up to have time with his son alone and does his best to keep Jacqui happy. This doesn't go unnoticed by Nancy, though, who feels Russ is being used by Jacqui when it's convenient for her and that she'll only let Russ see Max when she's getting her own way.

Jacqui laps up being waited on by Russ and he's more than happy to make a fuss of her if it means he gets to see Max.
