By Daniel Kilkelly | Darren wakes up in the car lot office with Lauren and is mortified as he remembers that he cheated on Jodie last night. Just as the pair vow to keep their drunken encounter a secret, they're shocked as they hear the office door close and wonder who has caught them. Later, Darren shares the news of his indiscretion with a shocked Fatboy. At the same time, Jodie is eagerly awaiting her fiancé's return back at the flat - appearing positive and upbeat over tomorrow's ceremony even though Darren is nowhere to be seen. When Darren does catch up with Jodie, he asks her about Anthony and she assures him that nothing happened between them and the wedding is still on.
Later, Fatboy accidentally reveals Darren's cheating to Whitney and Mickey, who has returned for the stag night. Soon afterwards, Mickey shares the secret with Poppy as he tries to win her affections. Poppy is appalled by the revelation and confronts Darren, warning him to come clean with Jodie by the end of the day. Jodie's hen night goes ahead as planned with cocktails and karaoke, but Poppy later tells Lauren that she's banned from attending tomorrow's wedding, and soon decides to tell her friend everything. As Poppy informs Jodie that Darren cheated on her last night, she receives a shock as Jodie admits that she already knows - she saw Darren and Lauren at the car lot this morning…
Meanwhile, Eddie informs Anthony that Tyler will be woken up in hospital later today. Soon afterwards, Michael tries to help out his family by doing some work at the antiques emporium, and he assures Eddie that they can keep quiet over the Craig secret until Tyler is better. Later, Vanessa confronts Michael and demands the money she is owed for her part in his scheming. Michael hands over the cash as agreed, but warns Vanessa to stay away from the Moon family from now on. However, as Tyler wakes up in his hospital room and appears well, Vanessa is by Eddie's side to support him - offering him a hug. It seems that Vanessa hasn't been scared off by Michael's warning.
Elsewhere, Tanya has her operation after making up an excuse for where she is going; Mickey convinces Mandy to strip for the stag party; Faith makes a move on Fatboy and the pair end up in bed together; Tanya is overwhelmed with emotion as she considers what her family's life would be like without her; and Phil is pleased to have evidence he could use against Mandy after taking a picture of her stripping.
