Freddie’s a little freaked out by Steph Casey’s messages about his DJ services. She’s being pretty full on with explicit song titles and lyrics. Lily thinks he should chill – Steph’s about to get married after all. She’s probably just naturally flirtatious. But Freddie wants Lily around when Steph comes over. Sure enough Steph flirts outrageously, and when she’s gone Freddie’s in shock; he thinks he’s just declined a menage a trois!
Tom tells Natasha he’s agreed to meet Kirsty. Natasha wants to know why he’s so preoccupied and worried about it. He tells Natasha how uneasy he is with Kirsty’s plan to try and track down the lads; he’s trying to get out of going with her. Natasha can’t believe he could let Kirsty down like that. She picks up her keys and tells him to look after Henry and Jack, who’ve come for tea. She’s going instead of him. Kirsty shouldn’t be out there alone. She and Kirsty share resources and tackle the streets together, but they call it a night when Natasha’s nearly hit with a can. Kirsty wonders what the hell she’s doing, dragging Natasha into this situation when she could be home with Tom and the boys. She’s touched by Natasha’s support. Natasha observes she’s learned from her experiences with her dad that it’s important to have someone around who understands. If Kirsty needs someone to go out on the streets with her again, she has only to ask.
