'Love All'
Cherry has just returned from her holiday in France with Scott. She drives everyone mad with her bonbons, brie and romantic stories. Cherry tells Michelle she doesn't need to look out for her, Scott is wonderful. She understands if Michelle is jealous, she has been single for a long while.

Michelle avoids Cherry as much as possible for the rest of the day and Jimmi finds her hiding and reassures her that she'll meet someone soon. Michelle appreciates this and later tells Cherry she probably is a little jealous. The romance is frustrating Zara too, so she makes a booty call to Jack.

Later, as Jack gets dressed, he mentions to Zara that his mates think he's a legend for pulling a doctor. Zara is furious; he's not to tell anyone. Jack tries to win her back round but Zara shoves him out of the door. What is she doing?!

Meanwhile, Alix (23) starts the day being sick in the bathroom as her boyfriend Tony (24) calls for her to hurry up. Later she sits in reception at the campus surgery and takes a call telling the caller she'll tell him when the time's right. She quickly ends the call as Tony arrives; he's abrupt with her and says he'll find her after her appointment. Ruth notices all of this. Jimmi tells Alix she's pregnant and Alix is pleased; her and her boyfriend are getting engaged anyway.

Outside, Alix drops the leaflets Jimmi gives her, so Ruth helps her. Just then Tony arrives and grabs Alix roughly by the arm claiming they're late. Ruth tries to interfere but is ignored. Tony sees the leaflets and loses it; now is not the right time for them to have a baby, she will have to get rid of it. He takes her back into the campus, past a protesting Ruth through to Jimmi.

Tony tells Jimmi he and Alix want an abortion and Jimmi asks Tony to leave so he can talk with Alix. He reluctantly goes into reception and Alix tells Jimmi she is still having the baby, she just needs to talk to Tony.

Alix leaves Jimmi even more confused. Ruth tells Jimmi that she recognises Tony's behaviour and that Alix needs help. Jimmi advises her to stay out of it but Ruth can't help herself; what if no-one had helped her leave Davey?

Ruth approaches Alix in the canteen, saying she can help Alix break the abusive cycle she's in. Alix starts to get annoyed, insisting there's nothing wrong just as Tony arrives. Tony tells Ruth to butt out but instead she tells him she knows his type.

An argument breaks out between them until Alix snaps, telling them both to shut up. She reveals she's going to have the baby and Tony can't do anything about it because it isn't even his. She's been seeing an old friend for months now and she's just been waiting for the right moment to finish with Tony. She wanted to wait until after his exams but then Ruth got involved. She apologises and tells Ruth that Tony has no-one right now after his mum's death and she didn't want to hurt him, but Ruth forced her hand.

Tony shouts at Alix to leave and so she does. Ruth tries to apologise to Tony, the truth would've come out anyway. Tony blames Ruth for all that's happened, but Ruth argues he has to take some responsibility for his actions. He barges past her, leaving Ruth reeling from what she has done.
