2541: Michaela's fuming with Jacqui

Josh starts the day with an almighty hangover from his bender the night before, after Amy dumped him. Gilly and Rhys try unsuccessfully to cheer him up but Josh just wants to forget about Amy and suggests going the pub, despite it being before midday.

The lads are soon entertained by Neville who sings them an anniversary song he's written for Suzanne. But when Neville whips out his eight track recorder, Rhys's mind fills with ideas. He manages to convince Josh to form a band and Gilly happily takes the roadie position. After complaining about his missed opportunities, Josh is stunned when Rhys admits that he still has his uni place as Rhys called up and told them Josh had changed his mind about cancelling.

Anita wakes up in a bad mood as she watches a cheery Theresa get ready for school, while she has to stay at home after being suspended. She snaps at Bel when she enters her room and refuses to speak to her. Bel tells her that two of her aunts are visiting that day and wants Anita to wear her Salwar Kameez.

Instead, Anita sneaks out with Theresa who's bunked off school to meet some boys. The 'boys' turn out to be just one 'boy' called Jay and it's immediately clear to Anita that he only has eyes for Theresa.

Bored of playing gooseberry while Theresa and Jay snog, Anita heads home. As soon as she returns, Bel explodes at Anita for going out and grounds her. She then orders her to get changed and have lunch with her aunts. Fed up of being told what to do, Anita refuses to listen to Bel and cuts up her Salwar Kameez in anger.

Dominic is overjoyed when Loretta tells him that she wants to leave her job and is handing in her notice that day. She complains to him about how catty the girls can be and how she simply isn't enjoying working there any longer. She excitedly tells him that she already has an interview lined up for a place across town and gets herself ready to leave.

Dom's impressed when Loretta gets changed into a classy, smart suit but his delight soon turns into shock when she rips it off to reveal her stripper outfit. Much to his horror, Loretta's new job is still dancing - but at a different club.

Michaela's fed up as she's getting no peace living at the Barnes' when she should be revising for her exams. Myra is too busy mothering Lucas in Amy's absence to notice anything and even Mike, who's happy to have Myra's help, is blissfully unaware.

Michaela eventually persuades Mike to go through her revision notes with her but all hell breaks loose when she discovers that Jacqui has thrown her work in the bin. Michaela's infuriated even more when Myra takes Jacqui's side, telling Michaela to be more understanding with what she's going through.

Michaela escapes to meet up with Josh and the pair offload their troubles on each other, Michaela about her family and Josh about Amy dumping him. Feeling better, Michaela returns home but it's not long before more arguments break out when Jacqui discovers that Michaela's taken revenge for destroying her revision notes earlier in the day.
