2605: Ravi and Calvin fight
Ash and Ravi are set for the fight but they continue to keep it secret from the family. Ash gloats when he finds Calvin looking at a 'help wanted' poster in Relish, but his brother drags him off. Meanwhile, Ravi's still having dizzy spells and Jack's concerned. He sees Bel in Drive 'N' Buy and tells her that he saw Ravi training the day before.

Meanwhile, Ravi's opponent drops out and Ash quickly forms a plan. He finds Calvin who's still looking for money and persuades him to fight. Ravi still seems apprehensive about the match, but Ash doesn't mention who his new opponent is. Bel soon arrives home with Jack who tries to warn them both, but Ravi becomes proud and defiant. As Ravi prepares for his fight, he writes an apology to his family to be read in the event of his death.

Later, Ravi's stunned to find Calvin is his opponent, but when Calvin offers not to fight, Ravi's too proud to accept and ends up knocking him out. Later, as Ravi finds Calvin in the hospital, it's obvious he is just happy to be alive…

Calvin's broke and desperate for money. He bumps into Carmel who's down because she can't afford to hire equipment for her new job and Calvin feels useless because he can't help. He goes to collect rent from Archie but only receives a cheque and therefore resorts to selling some of his belongings.

However, when Ash offers him £1,000 to compete in his illegal fight, Calvin's persuaded. Spencer's worried for his friend and attempts to lend Calvin money but he's too proud to take any more. When Calvin realises that he'll be fighting Ravi, he's relieved. But as the fight gets underway, Calvin soon realises that Ravi takes no prisoners.

It's a house of distrust at the lads' pad as no-one trust anyone to be left with the hoard of cash they found. At the SU Bar, Archie and Kris watch each other closely and Archie panics when Kris disappears. When he returns home to look for Kris, however, Zak and Elliot are already there, both accusing each other of trying to sneak back to get the money. Kris soon turns up, too. Mutually distrustful, they decide to do a recount…

Elsewhere, Ricky's in tears at Tan & Tumble. However, he quickly composes himself before Anita arrives. Later, as Ricky turns up at the Roys', Bel teases Anita about them dating. She suggests going to Ricky's but he makes an excuse, while Bel refuses to give Anita money to eat out when there's food in the house.

Stuck for cash, Ricky decides that an impromptu street theatre is the best way to earn money quick. With the cash he makes, Ricky wants to take Anita on a date, but she's hesitant. Suddenly noticing the time, he rushes off without explaining, leaving Anita frustrated…
