2549: Mark goes ahead with the raid on The Loft
With the raid looming, Calvin's anxious, knowing that everything must go to plan in order to finally nail Warren. On his way to meet Mark, Calvin bumps into Carmel who, after enjoying their previous evening together, asks Calvin to join her for a drink. Mark's presence makes both Calvin and Carmel uneasy and knowing that everything hangs on the raid, Calvin declines Carmel's offer. When he gets to The Loft, Calvin is sick with nerves.

Meanwhile, Sasha spots Mark in the Village and notices that he's staring at The Loft just as she spots two CID approaching. Suspicious of what they're doing and fearing Warren could be at risk, Sasha sneaks into The Loft. She sees Warren upstairs and watches as he comes down and hides heroin behind the bar. When CID burst in and the raid begins, Warren plays it cool, denying any involvement with drugs. Mark turns on Calvin, but Calvin's unsure whether he's acting and begins to panic that Mark has stitched him up along with Warren.

Much Warren's relief - and Calvin's shock - no drugs are found on the premises and Mark has no choice but to leave. He makes it clear to Calvin that he's not happy and threatens to get revenge for making a fool of him.

Back at the Valentines', Sasha's home alone and pulls the heroin out of her bag. It's at this point we realise that she saved Warren from prison. By doing so, she's faced with the ultimate temptation…

Still confused about her sexuality, Sarah feels awkward when she bumps into Lydia outside the SU. She declines Lydia's offer of a drink, telling her that she needs to get back home. Lydia later hears from Leila that Sarah lied and is going for a sleepover at Zoe's, to which they are all invited.

Seeing a chance to tackle Sarah, Leila drags Lydia along with her. Sarah's immediately tense when Lydia arrives but Lydia makes every effort to ignore her, as does Leila who's angry at Sarah after seeing her kiss Elliot the night before.

After observing Sarah and Zoe's closeness, Lydia decides there's something going on between them and makes an excuse to leave to get red wine. While she's gone, Sarah confronts Leila about her frostiness and Leila is forced to admit what she saw. Sarah tries to explain that the kiss was a test, but with Leila not believing the story, Sarah has to admit she's gay and has feelings for Lydia.

Lydia returns but seeing Zoe and Sarah together again riles her, so she confronts the pair before leaving. Sarah heads out to find her and admits to Lydia she's struggling with her sexuality. Lydia begins to understand how Sarah's been feeling and the pair share a passionate kiss.

Elsewhere, Leila's hurt and angry after seeing Sarah and Elliot kiss the previous night. She turns up with Lydia to Zoe's sleep over but is frosty towards Sarah, who immediately realises that something's amiss. The girls are unaware that Elliot and Archie are hiding in Zak's room, listening to all they say and on hearing Leila confront Sarah about the kiss, Elliot's gutted that he's upset her so much.

Leila admits to Sarah and Zoe about how she feels about Elliot, before going on to reveal that Elliot saying that he didn't love her was the worst moment of her life. Archie, desperate for the toilet, is forced to leave the room, causing shock and outrage with the girls when they realise the boys have been hiding. Leila is hurt and embarrassed that Elliot has heard everything and bursts into tears as Zoe throws him out.
