2660: The Loft reopens its doors

It's the day of The Loft's grand reopening and everyone's game for a party. The day, however, gets off to a bad start. Sasha's livid that Calvin's taken on Mercedes and Malachy behind her back, while Spencer has his own visions for the evening's entertainment, having hired gambling tables, showgirls, a belly dancer and a bingo caller.

As chaos ensues, Spencer tries to take charge but no-one listens. Everything eventually falls into place and they're ready to open the doors, but it all proves too much for Spencer who sacks everyone and throws them out. With the queue of clubbers increasing outside, they all try to persuade Spencer to let them back in. Spencer eventually relents, on one condition - he's the boss!

The clubbers dance the night away, but Sasha's completely humiliated when her love life is broadcast to the whole bar. Upset, she rushes to the toilets. She's surprised, though, when Mercedes encourages her to show the locals that she doesn't care what they think. The girls finally join forces, determined to make the night a success.

When the beer runs out, though, Mercedes turns to desperate measures to keep everyone happy and with Myra's help, she strikes up a game of kiss or cocktail bingo. The beer eventually returns to the pumps and the night turns into a huge success.

Meanwhile, Leila and Ravi find it difficult to run the house without their parents. Leila's annoyed when Anita leaves the kitchen in a state and asks her to clean it up. Anita, however, refuses to listen and instead heads out with a bottle of wine to see Ricky.

Feeling useless and suffocated, Ravi snaps at Leila when she tries to do everything for him. Leila heads off to The Loft reopening but bumps into Anita and Ricky on the way. Leila quickly realises that Anita's been drinking and as she berates her sister, she's horrified when Anita throws up all over her.

Furious, Leila marches Anita home. On her return, though, she feels guilty when she notices that Ravi's scolded himself while trying to make his dinner. With her night ruined, Leila can't help but think that from now on, she'll have to look after her brother and sister.

Elsewhere, Josh is thrilled when he bags the DJ spot at The Loft's reopening. Hayley and Josh continue to snipe at each other and when Josh receives a call from Sahsa, Hayley's quick to point out that he doesn't stand a chance with her. Hayley's shocked, though, when Josh reveals that he slept with Sasha in Manchester.

The freshers head down to The Loft for the party but Josh is gutted when Hayley inadvertently broadcasts to the whole bar that Sasha's slept with Dave, too. Josh can't believe his mate would do that to him and heads back to the halls, feeling like an idiot. Dave, however, eventually persuades him to go back to the club.
