2632: Lydia and Sarah argue

Darren attempts to sabotage Dom's new position as chef at The Dog. Darren begins by sewing seeds of doubt with Hannah while Dom tries to impress Neville with his menu. Tony shows up to have lunch with Cindy and support Dom in the process.

Seeing their arrival, Darren sets out to ensure that they have a thoroughly unhappy dining experience. First he deliberately spills Cindy's course all over Hannah. When customers start feeling nauseous, Neville has no choice but to fire Dom and offer refunds to all the customers in an attempt to limit the potential damage to the business.

Cindy soon realises that Darren was responsible and points out that by undermining Dom's reputation, the value of Il Gnosh could sink just as low as The Dog - ultimately, Darren's scheme is self-defeating.

Darren and Cindy argue over their plans and their twisted relationship becomes strained. Feeling for Tony and Dom, Cindy decides to keep things between her and Darren strictly business from now on, leaving Darren crestfallen.

Meanwhile, Lydia and Sarah struggle with their feelings in the wake of their break up. Sarah tells Hannah that she thinks she did the right in finishing with Lydia and that she can't see them reconciling. Meanwhile, Lydia tries to downplay her unhappiness in front of Charlotte. Sarah confides in Zoe while she works on her TV project, while Lydia joins Nancy and Archie's impromptu protest against its exploitation of women.

After exchanging harsh words with Sarah, Lydia admits to Charlotte that she may have liked Sarah more than she thought she did. Charlotte attempts to comfort Lydia, but she misreads the signals and tries to kiss Charlotte who pulls away. They argue over the misunderstanding and Lydia blames Charlotte for leading her on. When Sarah sees them together, Lydia creates a storm that leaves Sarah angry and Charlotte confused.

Elsewhere, Zoe secures a job on reality TV show Buff TV. Kris points out the tawdry reputation of the channel but encourages her to seize the opportunity regardless. Zoe quits her job at the call centre in spectacular fashion but later begins to doubt herself.
