2710: Amy issues Mike with an ultimatum

Anita's still feeling rough after her recent supposed spiking. Ricky expresses his concerns to Theresa and vows that he's going to do something about it. Confronting Dave in the SU Bar, Ricky accuses him of spiking Anita's drink and announces to the rest of the bar what he thinks happened. Realising that his friend's reputation is on the line, Josh suggests that Dave speaks to Anita urgently.

Catching up with Anita, a desperate Dave is eager to hear what she's been saying. Under pressure, Anita panics and as tempers explode, Josh takes control and drags Dave away. Incandescent with rage, Dave proclaims his innocence and tells Josh that Anita found some MDMA at the party. Adamant he never spiked her, Dave declares she must have taken it herself.

Seeing that Josh is unconvinced of his innocence, Dave's gutted, especially when a furious Ravi arrives at halls demanding answers. When Ravi threatens to send him down for spiking Anita, Dave's world is rocked to the core…

Meanwhile, Jacqui seizes the opportunity to make some quick cash as she pilfers boxes of fish fingers from Hollyoaks High. She's about to make her getaway when Gaz discovers what she's doing and tells Des. Jacqui immediately goes on the defensive but Des asks her what sort of teacher would he be if he lied to protect his girlfriend over a pupil?

Reiterating that he became a teacher to help kids like Gaz holds no sway with Jacqui and she gives Des an ultimatum - her or the fish fingers!

Des approaches Gaz to sound out his feelings about not reporting Jacqui. However, finding himself accused of being a bent teacher sits heavy with him. Jacqui's confident that Des will choose her but hearing that she's been sacked sends her into a panic, especially when Des tells her exactly what he thinks of her.

After a long hard think, Jacqui apologises to Des for her behaviour and the couple are back on track. Again.

At the Barnes' house, Mike's languishing in a drunken haze, while Zoe and Lydia play happy families. Eventually sobering up, Mike apologises again to Zoe for making as pass at her but his embarrassment is soon overtaken by shock when Lydia tells him that Zoe's moved in with them.

Zoe's apprehensive at Mike's reaction until he insists that he's happy having them both there for him. Amy, on the other hand, finds the whole set up abhorrent and tells Mike that as long as Zoe's in the house, she wants nothing more to do with him…

Elsewhere, Leila and Ravi are concerned when Anita returns from school claiming that she feels unwell. Assuming that she's been drinking again, Ravi takes the hard line with her but Leila convinces him to back down as she'll speak to their sister.

When Anita returns from her altercation with Dave, Leila's desperate to get to the bottom of it. Anita, however, remains tight-lipped, even when Ravi appears holding Anita's hospital identity band. Fleeing from the room, Ravi's rage knows no bounds when Theresa confirms their worst fears and he heads off to confront Dave…
