Episode 5527 (16th June 2003)

Plot
Ciaran makes it clear that he still fancies Sunita. He tells Sunita that he sent her a letter apologising and explaining everything. Sunita doesn't believe him as she never received it. Sunita asks both Dev and Ciaran to leave as she feels confused. Later Ciaran lets himself back in saying he's nowhere to stay. Sunita lets him have the sofa. Ashley is ashamed that he beat up Gary Jenkinson as he realises that Gary was simply jealous. Ashley apologises to Claire for thinking that she was in on his games. Dev is shocked to see Ciaran coming out of Sunita's flat in the morning. He thinks that Sunita must have slept with him. Sunita is furious that Dev should make such an assumption. Dev apologises. Mike bluffs and tells the factory girls that they will be paid by Wednesday. They believe him and agree to work. Peter is slightly unnerved by Ciaran's return and asks Ciaran not to complicate his wedding arrangements with Shelley. Joe is delighted that Underworld is going under rapidly and soon Mike will be history. Dev admits to Sunita that Ciaran did send her a letter and he hid it from her. Dev gives her the letter. Sunita is furious with Dev and tells him there's no way she would marry him and storms out.
