2687: Theresa makes amends with Anita

Kris plans a responsibility-free day and joins Zak for some fun in the SU Bar. Loretta offers to look after Charlie and takes him to the river but it's awkward when Jake turns up. Jake's feeling upbeat after their kiss the previous day but he doesn't know what to do when he realises that she's looking after Charlie - Jake desperately wants to be with him but he knows he can't. Loretta realises that Jake's lonely and calls on Kris to look after Charlie so they can spend some time together.

Kris is fed up when his fun is cut short, so Zak suggests offloading Charlie onto Frankie. It's not quite the perfect solution to his plans, though, when he loses his drinking partner to Frankie's cleaning duties. Faced with an afternoon of marking, Nancy decides to live a little and skip school.

She goes to join Kris in The Dog and is shocked when Frankie turns up and accuses them both of dumping Charlie just so they can get drunk. Nancy's oblivious to what's gone on while she's been at work and is shocked by Kris's outburst. Nancy and Kris argue over their responsibilities to Charlie and Nancy's left heartbroken when Kris decides that he's had enough.

Theresa receives a rejection letter from a modelling agency. She's also not interested in Anita's attention seeking when she tries to befriend her again. Anita plays the victim when Nancy shows her concern and tells her that Theresa's turned against her. Anita's soon delighted when Nancy gives her the attention that she's craved. Anita spots Theresa eating lunch and makes a beeline for her, although she acts as if she hasn't even noticed she's there. Desperate for attention, Anita starts picking at her food.

Theresa eventually gives in and asks her what's wrong, before revealing all about her rejection letter. Theresa's angered, though, when Anita turns the conversation back to her own problems. Fed up of Anita being so self-indulgent, Theresa snaps at her, prompting Anita to runs off in tears. Worried that she's gone too far, Theresa airs her concerns about Anita to Nancy. Feeling bad for the way she's treated Anita, Theresa decides to patch things up with her. Anita finally has what she wants and retains her steely determination to preside over her anorexia lie.
