2779: The McQueens receive shock news

Myra throws a house party after a big win on the bingo. Zak's furious with Michaela on her return from Disneyland as she told him that the party was fancy dress - but he's the only one in costume! To add insult to injury, Michaela hasn't brought him anything from her trip. She manages to win him round, though, promising a much better gift.

Later, Malachy's seething when he sees Calvin and Mercedes together in the bedroom. He pulls Calvin aside and closely watches his reaction as he tells him that he and Mercedes may be starting a family.

Jacqui's in the loving mood but her attitude quickly changes when Des panics about staying over. With that, she immediately accuses him of wanting to be with Nancy. As the drink flows, it's far from harmonious at the McQueens' as all couples argue.

Carmel, however, is cheered when Calvin tells her how much he means to her. With the party is in full flow, the McQueens discover a shock letter from the council - and are all reeling by its contents....

Meanwhile, Duncan excitedly plans his birthday party for the reality TV show. Theresa invites Duncan to the McQueens' party in order to guarantee that she'll be his on-screen date.

Duncan's delighted about the invite but Darren tells him that Theresa's only using him and that he needs to make her really want him. That said, Darren convinces Duncan that he has all the skills needed to turn him in to the world's most desirable man.

Elsewhere, Sasha returns from Disneyland and is annoyed to find Lauren with Gaz after everything he's done. Sasha catches Gaz with the PSP that she brought back for Spencer and accuses him of stealing it, but Spencer insists that she's made a mistake - Gaz was only teaching him how to play a new game.

Realising that she's putting the same pressure on Lauren that her family did to her when she was with Warren, Sasha relents and allows Gaz and Lauren spend time together - as long as Gaz is out of the house before their dad gets home.
