2638: Carmel tries to blend in at sixth form

Ravi remains awkward around his family as he continues to struggle with his aneurysm. As Bel celebrates her birthday, Ash ingratiates himself to their mother while still harbouring a grudge against Ravi. Ravi apologises to Leila for his temperament and although Leila gives him some reassurance, she remains worried.

As they talk it through, things begin to thaw between the siblings as Leila tells Ravi about Elliot and Ravi explains about Loretta. When Ash sees them together, he begins to feel pushed out and tries to move in on Loretta, only to be frustrated further when she agrees to another date with Ravi.

Ash decides to make a move on Loretta to spite Ravi and tries to kiss her in Tan 'N' Tumble. However, when Ravi catches him in the act, he flies at his brother, pinning him up against the wall outside. Bel, Gov, Leila and Anita pass by at that very moment and are shocked to witness Ravi's aggressive outburst. Gov tries to break the pair up, but Ravi turns on his father in a blind rage. Leila rushes in and stops Ravi before he completely loses control.

Seeing the look of horror on the faces of his loved ones, a shameful Ravi walks away. Ravi decides to take control in the only way he knows how - and makes a call to arrange another fight.

Meanwhile, Jacqui applies for a loan in an attempt to track down her son in Italy. Myra's alarmed when she sees the figure of £5,000 on the application form and confronts Jacqui about her motives. When Jacqui tells her mother there's been a sighting of Russ and a baby in Italy, Myra replies that she had already been told by Carmel.

Jacqui's angry at her mother for prying and although Myra's sympathetic to her cause, she tells Jacqui that she can't let her take such a huge risk. To save Jacqui from the futility of it all, Myra burns the loan application form.

Myra comforts a tearful Jacqui and makes her realise that the odds of tracking down Russ and Max in Italy by herself are almost non-existent. Facing up to reality, Jacqui invites Des for a drink to make the most of what she has.

Elsewhere, Carmel pursues her dream of going back to school and dresses as Theresa in an attempt to take her cousin's place at sixth form. As the likes of Lauren and Anita get used to their new common room, Carmel strides in putting on an unconvincing student act. Lauren and Anita point out the absurdity of her plan and that everyone knows who she is, but Carmel's having too much fun to stop.

As she continues to play the part, Carmel's masquerade as Theresa starts to unravel as she finds herself out of touch with the students and unable to keep up in class. Finding the pressure too much to handle, Carmel confesses the truth to Des.

Returning home upset, Carmel's comforted by Des who offers her a chance to be a part of the school as its new cheerleading coach. Carmel's elated.
