2654: Zak's knocked to the ground

The students return home in the early hours and bump into Neville. As punishment for their night of drunken debauchery, Neville announces his plan to give Josh's car away as a competition prize - the winner will be the person who maintains contact with the car the longest. Dave quickly suggests that Josh enter the competition to win it back.

Hayley's increasingly frustrated by India and is convinced that she's stealing her food. In a bid to try and catch her out, Hayley contaminates a pizza from her fridge shelf with laxatives and awaits India's 'outing'. Feeling down about Hayley's false accusations, Dave suggests that she might as well commit the crime she's already being berated for and so the pair help themselves to the contents of the fridge, with India gobbling down the pizza.

At the car competition, India starts to feel the effects of the laxatives but endeavours to hide her discomfort for as long as possible. Josh is determined that one of the group must win the car and they all find themselves bonding over the experience, with Hayley even trying to break the ice with India. Soon enough, India loses the battle with her bowels and having repelled everyone else, she finds herself as the not-so-glorious victor.

Meanwhile, Sarah and Nancy discuss the joys of the single life. Sarah tries to avoid Lydia but eventually comes face to face with her. Lydia appears fragile and upset but apologises for moving their relationship too fast. Sarah declares that she's moved on but Lydia begs her to meet for a drink. Lydia complains about Charlotte and confides in Sarah that she thinks she's crazy.

Feeling sorry for Lydia, Sarah apologises for being unsympathetic and they kiss. Lydia reminds her of the chemistry they used to share and reassures Sarah that she wants to take it slowly this time. Nancy shows up and sees the newly-reunited couple together. Sarah, however, doesn't look completely convinced.

Elsewhere, Zak and Elliot are in full-on panic mode and as they await contact from Ged, they worry about Archie's wellbeing. They're soon disturbed by someone entering the flat - it's Kris returning from his trip. Kris carries a bag that's been left outside into the flat in with him and the lads fill him in on recent events. When they look in the bag, they find Archie's t-shirt soiled with blood, along with an address written on a piece of paper - they must deliver the money in order to ensure Archie's safe return.

Despite Elliot's pleas to go to the police and Zak's suggestion to run with the money, Kris takes control of the situation and they make their way to the Ged's address with the cash. Zak enters the building, while Kris and Elliot wait outside. Zak finally sees a distressed Archie tied up.

Ged instructs that Zak hand over the money, before he'll release Archie. Zak begins to have second thoughts about parting ways with the cash and tries to bargain with him. Archie's soon freed on the condition that Zak surrenders the money, but he hesitates and Kris rushes forward from outside and grabs the bag.

Elliot goes into hiding, while Ged knocks into Zak to chase after Kris, sending Zak flying. With Kris on the run from Ged, Elliot and Archie are left wondering if Zak is dead or alive.
