Plot[]
Part One: Alya shows signs of a mental breakdown as she points the bottle at Geoff, threatening to stick it in him. Tim manages to talk her down. Daniel admits to Adam that he pays Nicky to dress up as Sinead. Adam reckons he's deluded thinking he's anything but a client to Nicky. Now he's out of danger, Geoff goes back to playing the nice guy. Ryan arrives and joins Alya in condemning Geoff for undermining her. Sean is certain that something has happened to Todd. David explains to Shona that she can't take her clothes off in public. Dev cuts Cathy's hours at the kebab shop to save money. Cathy feels she's been treated unfairly. Ryan suggests to Alya that she let Geoff win; it'd be a price worth paying ridding herself of him. Alya realises how obsessed she's been when Ryan shares the news that Ali has been given four months for assaulting Gary; Ryan didn't want to say before. As they clean up the mess at Speed Daal, Tim wonders what pushed Alya over the edge, and what Ryan meant about Geoff undermining her. Geoff puts it down to blind loyalty towards Yasmeen and accuses Tim of siding with the enemy for asking the questions.
Part Two: With father and son again at loggerheads, Geoff asks Faye to intervene on his behalf. Adam runs into Nicky in the street and asks her to leave Daniel alone if she really cares about him. Sally isn't surprised that Alya flipped after working with a bully like Geoff. Faye tells Tim that Geoff doesn't want them to fall out. Nicky is a no-show at the flat after being paid off by Adam. Daniel rows with Adam when he suggests that his "friendship" with Nicky isn't healthy for Bertie. Tim tells Sally about Geoff's CCTV camera, using it as an example of Geoff seeking to protect his family. Sally finds it creepy and controlling. She tries to make Tim see that Geoff is manipulating him like he does to everyone.
