Greg tells Sally she can't take the girls out as they need to save money. Leanne is fed up that she never sees Nick as he's always working. Ashley worries that Zoe is being brainwashed. Maud advises him to find out more about the Etheric Foundation. Les gives Martin the runaround in hospital. Zoe is pleased when Ashley asks to attend a meeting at the Foundation. Deirdre is horrified when Jackie moves her fifteen-year old son, Tyrone, in after his father throws him out. Alec sends Natalie home as her depression affects the customers. Greg suggests to Sally that she puts her money in a joint account so they can both have access. She is uneasy but goes along with the idea when he accuses her of not trusting him. Leanne waits outside the college to surprise Nick and is devastated to see him driving off in Miranda Peters' car. Jackie warns Tyrone not to steal off Deirdre. Ashley finds the meeting terrifying as everyone moans and sways. He walks out but Zoe refuses to leave. Nick explains to Leanne that Miranda is his boss in the lab and they went for a drink with a load of others as it was her birthday. Ashley tells Zoe he won't have her mixing with nutters. She warns him not to force her to choose between him and the Foundation.
