David wonders if Nick's recent outburst means that his brain injury is coming back. Nick rubbishes the theory. Maria arranges lunch with Pablo Duarte and tells Luke she's meeting her old school friend Anastasia. Dev thinks the gym's upgraded CCTV is too expensive and that it will make customers think they're being spied on. Tyrone puts an advert for scrap metal in the Kabin. Rita supports him by offering her old washer and dryer. Audrey questions Maria on her mystery man. Maria doesn't tell her who he is but asks her not to worry. Luke delivers flowers for Maria at the salon. Kylie suggests he deliver them to the restaurant where Maria is meeting "Anastasia". He does and catches her enjoying herself with Pablo, who Maria introduces as her husband. As No.9 fills up with tat, Fiz wonders if Tyrone is taking his new venture too far. Maria explains to Luke that she married Pablo, who is Argentinian, so that he could return to the UK with her and be with his British boyfriend Ash. Luke is hurt that Maria wasn't upfront about it, while Pablo is amused by their argument. Sharif is sure that Gary is dealing steroids and decides to set him up.

Nick angrily orders him to drop it. Maria tries to justify herself to Luke at the bistro, while Steph, Kirk and Pablo offering their own opinions. Pablo calls Luke a drama queen.
