6463: Paul deceives Sophie after dumping Zoe

When Paul is reminded yet again of Sophie's attachment to Zoe, he realises that he needs to find a way out of this relationship fast. He resigns himself to taking his time, slowly easing Zoe out of both his and Sophie's lives. However, he is thwarted when Sophie invites Zoe to the Kapoors' housewarming barbecue, forcing Paul to also attend with Zoe on his arm.

Paul grits his teeth while introducing Zoe as his partner, but the final straw comes when Zoe refers to them as a parenting team in a discussion with Priya and Sonya. Pushed to breaking point, Paul finally cracks and dumps Zoe. However, when he faces Sophie's anger, he lies and claims that Zoe dumped him. Will this lie come back to bite him?

Meanwhile, Ajay hopes that the housewarming barbecue will help Priya feel more at home, as she has been stressing about setting up their new house. With his help, Priya eventually relaxes and realises that Ajay is right - they will be happy here. But when she shares this new outlook with Ajay and opens up to him, she is disappointed to see that he has slept right through it.

Elsewhere, Callum's crush on Rani intensifies as she moves in, but Ajay remains wary. Andrew points out that Callum needs to win Ajay's approval if he's going to get anywhere. However, this backfires when eager Callum offers to help with cooking at the barbecue, and is then forced to work for the whole event - entirely missing his chance to hang out with Rani.
