2583: Anita's shocked to meet her online boyfriend
Josh is determined that The Somethings will make it big time and he won't stop at hurting his friends in the process. Things are awkward between Hayley and Rhys, but she shows him who's boss by cooling things between them.

Meanwhile, Kris tries to sweet talk Rob Mackie, but he makes them realise that fame and fortune are a long way off. First, the band will have to scrape together enough cash to make another demo. With Hayley selling off essays to freshers and Josh sacrificing Rhys' cherished record collection, they manage to accumulate just about enough. However, when Josh misinterprets Rob's reaction to Hayley, he suspects that selling a band whose lead-singer is in a wheelchair may be more of a problem…

Anita and Lauren are both feeling put out by the men in their lives, but they may both be in for a big surprise. After having been stood up by Ricky the day before, Anita wants to know what's going on. When he explains that he saw her kissing someone else, she realises there's been a mix-up and decides to reveal her real identity.

A concerned Lauren reluctantly agrees to accompany her while she goes and meets Ricky. However, Anita gets more than she bargained for when her 20-year-old hunk turns out to be a 14-year-old skater boy!

Lauren finds the situation too good to be true and quickly invites Newt and Theresa over. But, having seen them kiss yesterday, Ricky nearly blows Newt and Theresa's secret. While Newt manages to steer Lauren away before she overhears, Theresa's left trying to convince Anita that Ricky's making things up…

Ash and Ravi are still bickering like children, but Ravi seems to have a plan. When Ash finds his bouncer brother reading up on business management, he finds it ridiculous. Still smarting after Ravi walked away from Relish, he dismisses him as a meathead with no prospects. In Ravi's absence, Ash has had to employ cheeky scouse brothers Zak and Caleb.

Ash's lack of tact or manners soon lands him in even more trouble, as the brothers follow Ravi's lead and walk out on Ash too. When Ash catches Ravi drinking with Caleb and Zak, he lashes out at his brother - but he may have pushed Ravi a little too far this time…
