Episode Guide

Cormac came round to the Shah's looking for Arun. He told Alisha to stay away, and to tell the rest of her family to leave him alone. He didn't need the hassle. Alice thanked Luca for trying to take the blame for the vodka bottle, and asked him not to tell Joanne. Billy warned Luca off Alice, telling him that she was vulnerable. Luca said he didn't know what Billy was on about, they were just friends. Zak came round to try to talk to Alisha, but she wouldn't speak to him. When Arun started to offer advice, Zak told him it was none of his business and he should back off. Zoe told Alanna that Mac was being such a control freak, she couldn't stand it. She said that Alanna was lucky to have Ray and Roisin.

Gina came into the salon wearing the necklace Archie gave her, and Jo asked if Gina had binned the one her dad gave her. Luca told her not to take things out on Gina, but Jo explained that Gina had always worn Franco's locket until it got broken, and she felt like her dad was being betrayed. Ray told Mac that he'd seen Zoe in the Ship with a young guy, and that the pair had seemed pretty friendly. Jo found mini vodka bottles in Alice's bag and confronted Alice. Shirley told Jo to lay off Alice: if she heard another word it'd be Jo getting the sack. Shirley then told Billy about Alice's drinking, but begged him not to sack Alice. After Shirley promised to keep an eye on Alice, Billy agreed.

Jo overheard Billy on the phone talking about going to London. When she said how nice it'd be to get a break, he told her he was going alone. She had another rant about Alice, and Billy said that it was Jo that was becoming a liability, not Alice. Jo bitched to Luca about Alice and Billy, and said she was determined to get into Billy's safe. Luca said he didn't know if he wanted to be around Jo anymore. Mac asked Zoe if she was seeing someone else. She said no, and that she still wanted to be with Mac. Gina called to see Jo, who was busy trying to get into Billy's safe. However, Gina had some news to shock Jo out of her obsessive behaviour; Gina had called Italy, and Ruth hadn't been seen for 10 days…
