During their conversation, they don't notice that Charlie's wandered off. Panic sets in when they realise that Charlie's missing. Loretta's anxious, though, when Kris wants to call the police but she quickly manages to persuade him to contact Nancy instead.
As they search the village, Nancy's out of her mind with worry and things go form bad to worse when Jack and Frankie hear about Charlie's disappearance. Needing all the help they can get, Frankie insists on calling Jake to help in their search, but blind panic sets in when they can't get hold of him - they're all worried that he has Charlie.
Jake turns up late to meet Loretta and he's furious when she insinuates that she thought he'd taken Charlie. A guilty Loretta remains quiet as accusations fly towards Jake. However, when Nancy insists on reporting him to the police, Loretta has to summon up the courage to stand by him and vouch for his whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Hannah can't help but wonder if she's destined to live in a hovel with Darren for the rest of her her life, following her argument with her family. After hearing that Charlie's gone missing, Hannah goes to help with the search but Nancy makes it quite clear she's not welcome.
A downbeat Hannah returns to the flat and is touched by the lengths that Darren's gone to in order to welcome her - albeit a burnt offering of her favourite dish, chicken jalfrezi. Touched by Darren's kindness, Hannah kisses him but with his mind on Cindy, Darren pulls away. Hannah's propelled into a sense self loathing when Darren rejects her advances.
Anita's ashamed of her anorexia lie and wishes that she could get as far away from school as possible. An enthusiastic Ricky soon turns up to see her, excited that they're merging schools next week. He invites her to join him in the shack, but he's worried to see her so down when she walks away. He's relieved, though, when he returns to the shack to find her waiting for him. She's not there to spend time with him, though - she reveals that she's there to say goodbye.

Elsewhere, Cindy's bored and tries to provoke Tony into bunking off work for an afternoon of pleasure. Although tempted, he's not prepared to leave the restaurant. They're distracted, though, when Theresa arrives looking for work. After being insulted about her age, Cindy's adamant there's no work for Theresa. Annoyed that Tony appears to be more interested in Il Gnosh than her, she storms off.
Cindy and Darren bump into each other in the village and both feign upbeat moods to mask their true feelings. Cindy tries to cover her jealousy over Hannah moving in with him but he knows exactly what she's thinking and riles her by commenting that he's bagged himself a younger model. Annoyed, Cindy returns to the restaurant to find Tony and Theresa in a compromising position…
