2564: Anita admits to stealing the exam papers
Mike and Sarah are determined to do everything they can to get Lucas back from Ste but know they won't get very far without Amy's help. Ste's pleased with his progress but isn't happy when they turn up on his doorstep demanding to take Lucas home with them. However, he's not about to let them just walk away with his son.

After speaking with Amy, Mike has resigns himself to the fact that Amy wants Lucas to be with Ste and realises that they both only want what's best. He's glad when Ste doesn't shut him out completely and gives him the opportunity to look after his grandson while he goes to work.

Later, however, when the electric goes in the flat and he realises that he has no milk for Lucas, Ste gets some extra shifts in Il Gnosh to earn some extra cash. Abi's only too happy to help look after Lucas and adores spending time with him.

Anita's filled with fear after overhearing her mum and dad talking about the missing exam papers and the fact that her dad could lose his job over it. In school, Gov addresses the class and gives the thief until the end of the day to put them back or face exclusion. When Lauren finds Anita sitting in the schoolyard, she can't believe she still has the exam papers. It's too late, though, as Gov arrives and accuses Lauren of being the thief.

As Lauren's marched off to the office, Anita's forced to come clean and admits to her dad that she stole them. Anita can't face her mum after being sent home from school and her heart breaks as she listens to her parents talking about the shame she's brought on the family. But Anita's true feelings come pouring out when she's confronted by her parents and Gov's forced to look at his own actions…

Zoe's mortified after making a move on Zak the previous night and feels terrible when he stops by to pick up his hoodie – he can hardly look her in the eye. When Zak later sees her drinking alone outside The Dog, he can't help feeling nostalgic about their friendship and heads over to talk. Zoe's fed up of ruining everything in her life but Zak manages to make her feel a little better, before heading off to see Michaela.

Zoe spots a troubled Mike and, realising they're both feeling down, she asks him to join her for a drink. However, she soon sees that there's nothing left between them when he declines. Alone, Zoe's glad when Zak returns but she's left feeling bad when he insists that he gave up a day with Michaela for her yesterday and he's not doing the same today.

Tony's looking forward to teaching Harry how to make fine cuisine and is brimming full of ideas, desperate to impress his son. He feels bad, though, when Dominic reveals that he's missing Loretta and spent his night sitting outside the club in the hope of seeing her. Dom finds Harry playing computer games in the flat and realises that he's not interested in learning to cook.

Knowing how disappointed Tony will be if he doesn't turn up, Dom manages to win Harry round with some harmless fun at Tony's expense. Tony's grateful for Dom's help when he realises that he's been bigging him up to Harry and wants to thank him. But Tony's plan to help Dominic win Loretta backfires and Dom's angry that he's ruined any chance he might have had.
