2749: Calvin tells Ravi about his affair
With nothing but Carmel and their 'first date' on his mind, Calvin tells Ravi that he's now unable to help him at the boxing club as promised. Ravi quickly susses what's distracting his friend and although surprised that the recently-divorced pair are making another go of things, he tells Calvin to go for it.

As soon as Calvin and Carmel meet, things are awkward and both are clearly nervous. Conversation is strained but an absent-minded Carmel soon mentions Warren. Calvin's guilt once again gets the better of him and certain that they'll never be able to move on from what happened, he leaves Il Gnosh and a hurt Carmel behind.

Meeting with Ravi, Calvin fills him in on his disastrous date, insisting that it's over for good between him and Carmel. Ravi can't understand what Calvin's done that's so bad - until Calvin confesses he's been seeing someone that he shouldn't.

Meanwhile, with the talent show looming, Cindy's going all out to prepare Holly for her win. Tony's concerned by how much effort Cindy's making but he's told to keep out. Steph, meanwhile, is making little progress in her attempts to persuade a stubborn Tom to enter. Tom can see how down Steph is feeling and eventually gives in and agrees to enter - on two conditions: he can tell jokes and he gets the gerbil he's been asking for.

Steph happily agrees but is shocked and moved when Tom reveals that he'll call the gerbil Gilly as he misses the real Gilly. Steph can't tell Cindy the good news quick enough and succeeds in removing her smug smile. Tony, however, is forced to step in when the competition between the pair becomes personal. It becomes clear to Holly that Cindy has her own selfish motives for wanting her to win and feeling used, she runs from the flat.

Hannah's still wary of her relationship with Jamie. Rhys tells Jamie to leave Hannah alone. Enlisting Darren's help once again, Rhys plans to get rid of Jamie once and for all. Suzanne can see how happy Hannah is around Jamie and is willing to give them space but after hearing Jamie asking Hannah on a date, Suzanne needs to know if he's serious about her daughter. Taking a big risk, Suzanne turns up at Nancy's flat to catch Jamie alone. Suzanne wants Jamie to see Hannah at her worst and as a sure test of his love, she shows him Hannah's video diary.

Jamie's shocked but assures Suzanne that he'll make Hannah happy, promising to take care of her. Suzanne's relieved and heads back to help Hannah prepare for her date. Heading to meet Hannah, Jamie's suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Beaten and thrown in a car boot, he's eventually dumped in woods with a warning from his attacker - stay away from his sister. Fearing that she's to blame for Jamie's no-show, Suzanne's forced to admit to Hannah what she showed Jamie.

Elsewhere, as Dominic returns from a mock battle, his good mood is soon ruined by a run-in with Carmel and then Tony. Fed up with Tony's put downs, Dom's determined to prove that he's not the useless little brother he's made out to be.

Overhearing Ravi offering Relish to Tony, an idea quickly forms. Catching Ravi on his own, Dom puts a few ideas forward and offers to go into business with him instead. Ravi likes what he hears and it's soon a done deal. A smug Dom walks away with a new business and one up on his brother.
