Dawn admits to sleeping with Phil
Dawn's boxing everything up in the flat ahead of the wedding and in preparation for their move. Dawn suggests that Garry spend the day with Minty ahead of the stag do. When they've gone, Dawn hugs her wedding dress as she stares at a photo of her and Jase from last year. Later, as Dawn makes her way through the Square, she bumps into Phil who gives her short shrift. Minty, meanwhile, watches from afar. Dawn arrives at Shirley and Heather's flat for her hen party, while at The Vic, Minty turns up at the stag party and there's an evident animosity between him and Phil. It's not long, though, before a blonde woman turns up at The Vic and it quickly becomes apparent that she's a stripper.

At the hen party, the girls try to coax any regrets from Dawn who eventually caves, admitting that she's slept with another man while with Garry. Provoked as to his identity, Shirley's face falls when she admits that it was Phil. Dawn goes on to explain how and why she fell for Phil but Shirley's not impressed in the slightest and makes some untoward comments about Jase. At the stag do, Minty pays the stripper to show Garry a good time but Phil's not impressed. Minty points out, though, that when the truth finally surfaces, Garry will still have some dignity in tact. Garry bolts down the stairs covered in lipstick furious with Minty for setting him up. At that moment, Darren shows them sumo suits.

Outside, Minty and Garry take each other on in the sumo suits and Minty ends up restraining his friend in a headlock. Phil breaks them up and when Garry asks Minty why he can't be happy for him and Dawn, Minty strides away. At the hen party, a guilty Dawn decides that she's going to confess to Garry about what happened with Phil. She returns to the flat to find Garry playing with Summer but she can't bring herself to break his heart. With Dawn gone, Minty returns to the flat and finds Garry alone, announcing: "It's about Dawn. There's something you need to know."
