5635: Romeo tries a new approach with Dex

Sid is anxious about Dex overtiring himself. Romeo offers to help with Dex and convinces Sid to let them hang out alone. Dex is relieved when Sid leaves them to have some male bonding time. Romeo asks what's going on between Dex and Sid. Dex reveals that he feels constrained by his dad's expectations, combined with the limitations placed on him. When the pair go out, Dex is keen to delay returning home for as long as possible, but is unaware that he has wet himself. As Dex tries to impress some girls, Romeo pushes him in the water so they don't see the stain.

Later, Sid is shocked as he arrives at the Diner to find a sopping wet Dex, and is furious at Romeo. When they get home, Dex tells Sid that he's grateful to Romeo for the last two days and that he wants more freedom. In the end, Sid apologises to Romeo and thanks him for letting Dex have fun.

Meanwhile, Liam quizzes Leah about her night with Jamie. Leah is embarrassed about her one-night stand and is worried about VJ's reaction. Later, Leah receives flowers from Jamie at her work and is anxious about his intentions. She talks to Liam, telling him that Jamie was upset when she wouldn't let him meet VJ and she feels like he's a bit full-on. Liam advises her not to push Jamie away.

Throughout the day, Leah receives more expensive gifts from Jamie and her discomfort increases, especially when his note says that he'll pick her up at 8pm - despite the fact that they'd never agreed on a second date. That evening, Jamie calls and Liam lies for Leah, saying that she's out. He agrees that Jamie is a bit too full on. As they leave the room, Jamie sends another text - he wants to meet Leah tomorrow.
