2618: Tony walks in on Darren and Cindy
Dom can't hide his pleasure when it starts to look like Cindy and Tony's relationship might be over. When Cindy arrives late for work claiming that Holly has been crying because she misses Tony, Dom accuses her of trying to manipulate his brother.

Throughout the day, Cindy continues to make mistakes at Il Gnosh and when Tony asks her what's up, she says that she wants to get back to how things were but Tony is reluctant. Once again, Dom sticks his oar in, prompting them to start arguing. Darren witnesses the row and as he shows genuine concern for Cindy, her resolve begins to weaken. However, the moment is broken when Hannah enters, looking for a job.

Cindy's hurt when she overhears Darren telling Hannah that waiting on tables is demeaning work. Another snide comment from Dom manages to tip Cindy over the edge and she storms out, leaving a job open for Hannah.

Afterwards, Tony feels guilty and his brother tries to talk him round but ends up making things worse. Tony heads over to Steph's flat but Darren's made it there first and when he turns up, he catches Cindy and Darren in the act. Tony walks away feeling like a fool…

Meanwhile, Hayley's fed up of having Josh and Rhys dossing with her in halls. When Josh throws up in the living room and then blocks the hoover, Hayley's unimpressed and after the boys reveal that they've eaten Hayley's food and drunk her wine without asking, she kicks them out. At The Dog, Gilly's horrified when he hears Neville and Suzanne frolicking.

Now homeless, Josh and Rhys bump into Gilly on The Dog Patio. Josh is ready to apologise to his parents but Rhys is too stubborn and accuses Gilly of being a traitor. Neville tells the boys that if they can come to an arrangement over rent, they can move back home. Rhys refuses, telling Josh that he's found somewhere else. With that, Gilly's forced to pick sides.

Hannah's later gobsmacked to find that Rhys has erected a tent in The Dog car park. Gilly turns up and Darren can't persuade them to leave. Rhys decorates the tent with fairy lights and invites Hayley for a romantic evening.

As they enjoy their night in, Josh and Gilly play a prank on the couple, collapsing the tent on top of them…

Elsewhere, Carmel wants everything to be perfect for the re-opening of Evissa. Jacqui watches on with disgust from Tan 'N' Tumble. However, when one of her dryers breaks, she's forced to ask for Michaela's help. Myra arrives to fix Jacqui's drive belt and Jacqui sees an opportunity to get one over on Carmel and asks their mum to work for her instead, cash in hand.

Later, Jacqui tries to lure Michaela across too, but Michaela sees through her sibling's snide tactics. While Jacqui's busy trying to budget, Carmel tries to make amends. However, when she sees Myra working for Jacqui, Carmel's angered.

Later, Myra goes to help Carmel with a jammed till, but as she's leaving, Jacqui threatens to fire her if she walks out. Jacqui's furious at being left alone again…
