Business is booming at Streetcars as a nearby taxi firm has gone bust. Steve is out in his cab when he spots smoke coming from a taxi owned by rival firm Prima - and to his surprise, Lloyd walks out of the smoke towards him. Explaining that the job is a stop gap, an embarrassed Lloyd is forced to reveal that he lost most of his money in an ill-advised property deal.

Insisting on helping his old mate, Steve fetches Lloyd back to the street, offering him the spare room at the flat and to come back to Streetcars. A chuffed Lloyd accepts. But when Lloyd bumps into an irked Karl and makes it clear that he's going to be his boss again, Steve is puzzled - he was offering Lloyd a job as a driver, not co-owner. How is Steve going to get himself out of this one?

However, when Marcus tells Maria of his plans, she's floored and puts forward a compelling case for him to stay. Will Marcus agree?
