2540: Lucas's naming ceremony turns to chaos

Abi's helping Ste prepare for the naming ceremony by buying drinks and food from Drive'n'Buy. They run into Mike and Michaela in the village and Ste is delighted to discover that Amy will be returning for the ceremony. Daniel helps Ste to prepare the flat and to show his gratitude for everything Daniel's done to help, Ste asks Daniel to be Lucas's guide-parent.

Mike relays his fears and hopes about Ste and the ceremony to Sarah, who assures him that Ste's worth a second chance. Michaela storms through announcing that she'll be needing an outfit for the ceremony as she's the clear choice to be guide-mother.

Everybody's impressed by the state of the council flat and the spread Ste has laid on. Michaela opens up to Mike about how much she misses living at home, while also expressing her fears for Amy. Mike assures her that she's every bit a part of their family and gives her a key to the house so she can stay whenever she likes.

As Michaela continues to be her rowdy self, her behaviour stands in stark contrast to Daniel and Abi's mature responsible attitude. Ste begins to question the wisdom of having Michaela as a guide-parent.

Eventually and contrary to Mike's wishes, he realises that Abi is far more suitable - especially since she delivered Lucas - and quickly breaks the news to Michaela. Unsurprisingly she's incensed and runs off in tears. Ste, however, is more concerned about Amy's impending arrival. Soon enough, the doorbell rings but much to Ste's horror, Josh arrives alone with bad news…

Russ and Jacqui wake entangled with one another on the sofa after Jacqui's night on the tiles and Russ wonders for a moment if something might have happened between them. Jacqui goes back to sleep after Russ makes her a greasy breakfast and Nancy appears, accusing Russ of fancying Jacqui. Russ is horrified that Nancy would think such a thin and in his defence, says some pretty harsh words about Jacqui – completely unaware that she's hears the whole thing.

Jacqui's furious and things quickly kicks off and comes to understand that Russ was only getting on with her to get closer to Max. With the realization laying heavily on her mind, Jacqui grabs her things and moves out. Jacqui runs back to the McQueens' and Myra suggests she move in with a very unsuspecting host…

Meanwhile, Mercedes is having little luck pulling the customers into her fortune telling tent in the village and Myra manages to scare off her only customer. Dom enters to see what's going on and gets roped into paying for Mercedes's sham clairvoyance.

Dom becomes quite upset, though, and storms out of the tent when Mercedes suggests to Dom that something horrible is going to happen to Loretta because of her job. Dom tries to explain to Loretta that he's worried for her but she casually dismisses Mercedes for the con artist she is. Dom gives Loretta a rape alarm just in case and although she finds him sweet and endearing, she also begins to find him a little annoying.
