2610: The Roys come to terms with Ravi's condition
When the doctor tells Ravi that the aneurysm caused his blindness, a guilty Ash feigns surprise. The doctor also suggests that surgery may be the only way to save Ravi's eyesight. Feeling claustrophobic, though, Ravi hurries away. The rest of the family is devastated to hear about Ravi's aneurysm.

Ash is quick to cover his own back and claims that Ravi's training had nothing to do with his recent lapse. Ravi's family do their best to comfort him but as emotions become charged, an argument breaks out with Ash accusing the rest of the family of treating Ravi like a loser. Leila's looking for someone to blame and directs her anger at Ash. She suspects that he had an ulterior motive in supporting Ravi's training.

Meanwhile, Anita's been researching Ravi's condition and is perturbed to discover that it can be passed on down the family blood line. Leila comforts her and reassures her sister. Ash wakes Ravi in an attempt to secure his forgiveness but Ravi reassures him that it was his own decision to fight.

When Leila sees how low Ash is, she softens and comforts him. Ravi joins them and they all enjoy each other's company for a moment - not wanting to think about the future…

Zoe, Hannah, Nancy and Loretta head out dressed to kill, expecting to find glamour and excitement. However, they're a little disappointed by the man-drought at the SU bar. Meanwhile, Gilly - whose front teeth are missing - bemoans the lack of romance in his life to Rhys. However, when he picks up Loretta's purse for her, he manages to make an impression. The other girls are gobsmacked when Loretta says she thinks Gilly is fit. Meanwhile, in the toilets, Loretta reveals that she's kissed Darren and it's clear that Hannah's a little jealous.

As Sarah and Lydia join in teasing Nancy about her sexuality, Nancy grabs Gilly and snogs him. He's mortified, though, when she notices his missing teeth, prompting her and the rest of the girls to jeer. Loretta, however, feels sorry for Gilly and reassures him that she can still see his 'potential'. Gilly can't believe his luck as she falls for his misguided charm.

Gilly lets slip to Rhys about Josh being off the rails and Rhys rushes off to get his brother. As the girls become more inebriated, they decide to pick up the atmosphere by dancing on the bar. Loretta joins in, too, but when a move goes wrong, the night ends in disaster…

Elsewhere, Lydia can't believe that Sarah ever dates Rhys. They're both disgusted when they witness him eating a burger off the floor and Sarah observes that it's no wonder she turned.

Afterwards, Sarah's embarrassed to reveal that she's never been to a festival. She decides to ask Rhys if he can help her get tickets as a surprise for Lydia, but he demands a cheeky kiss first - something which doesn't go unseen by Lydia.

As Lydia's jealousy rises, Charlotte stokes the fire and when Lydia sees Sarah sneaking around corners with Rhys again, she confronts them both. She's embarrassed, though, to learn that Sarah has been trying to arrange tickets for the Leeds festival. Sarah and Lydia settle their differences, while Charlotte is dismayed that they seem closer than ever…
