2552: Russ comes to Nancy's aid

Realising how bad she's treated him over the motorcycle incident, Hannah invites Justin over for a family BBQ on The Dog patio. Justin's pride is wounded, though, and he politely refuses. Josh tries to convince Hannah to persuade Justin to give him a gig at the SU Bar but Hannah's all too aware that she's the last person Justin would listen to.

Josh takes matters into his own hands and heads to the Piazza with Hayley and a guitar, ready to serenade Justin into submission. Justin persists in his resistance until Hannah makes one last plea to him and, showing his true weakness, Justin submits. Hayley and Josh are overjoyed, especially when they find out who they'll be supporting…

Nancy has a classroom assessment and is worried that the likes of Theresa McQueen will mess it up for her. Russ attempts to assure her that it'll be fine. Nancy goes to see Jacqui to try to explain that she shouldn't have become embroiled involved in her and Russ' business and pleads for her not to punish Russ by keeping him away from Max. Jacqui, however, berates Nancy for her obvious crush on Russ.

Later, Nancy's very conscious of the assessor in her class and when Theresa becomes disruptive and starts passing notes, Nancy is forced to react. But she goes a little too far and ends up humiliating Theresa in front of the entire class - and the assessor.

Theresa huffs and puffs her way into Evissa complaining of her poor treatment at the hands of Russ and Nancy, claiming that they're a couple. Things become much worse for Nancy when Gaz bursts in to the school wielding a can of lager and a bad attitude.

Nancy attempts to head him off but he ends up trapping her in a classroom. Realising she's stuck, she begins to panic - until Russ appears at the eleventh hour, forcing Gaz to back down. Nancy's eternally grateful to her brave hero for saving him from what was becoming a tricky situation.

It's all becoming too much for Leo and the thought of using his own daughter as a pawn in the struggle to bring down Warren doesn't sit right. It takes Calvin's more Machiavellian methods to calm Leo and give Sasha his blessing to see Warren.

Later, Sasha reveals to Calvin that she fears someone on the force is trying to set Warren up. Calvin doesn't blink until she reveals that it was her that took and hid the heroin from The Loft…
