Plot[]
Part One: The asking price on No.6 is lowered by £5,000. Carla books a viewing but Lisa doesn't seem as enthused. Sally thinks Joanie and Shanice are traumatised from living in a war zone and argues with Tim about whether to report it. Laila keeps James up most of the night with croup. Dee-Dee offers to mind her for a few hours while her brother gets some sleep in. Engrossed in her work, Lisa forgets about the viewing. Brody winds Daniel up at the cafe by spilling a drink over his work. Daniel keeps his cool but Lisa escalates the situation by threatening to arrest Brody for harassment. Maria is released pending further investigations. Gunning for Lou, she's incredulous when Gary points out that they don't know for sure that she dobbed her in. Brody needles Lisa until she cuffs him.
Part Two: Lou denies going to the police and tells Maria that Brody reported her. Obsessing over Theo's family selfie, Todd takes one of himself drinking with Sean and Billy to show that he's not missing him either. Dee-Dee manages to get Laila off to sleep. Lou discovers she's been reported to social services for neglecting the girls. Confronting the Metcalfes, she tells them that she's having nothing to do with them from now on. At the police station, Brody empties his pockets containing a box of white pills. He's put in a cell while they're examined. Todd gives in and leaves a voicemail for Theo saying he wants him back. He's gutted when Sean shows him that Theo has a new profile on Gay Bae. Lou tells the police that Brody got it wrong about Maria. Gary's grateful and invites her to stay for a beer. Brody calls out for his meds but Lisa ignores him, thinking he's playing games. Alone in his cell, he suffers another seizure.
Part Three: Gary agrees to speak to the Metcalfes for Lou and get them to retract their complaint to social services. Watching him enter his PIN into his phone, Lou logs in to the device when Gary goes to the toilet and sends a saucy message to herself. Brody is found on the floor of his cell. Theo returns to Todd after hearing the voicemail. Brody comes to and reports that Lisa ignored him when he asked for his meds. Lisa denies it but Kit sends her home, telling her to sort her head out. Dee-Dee's disappointed when a podcast interview about her birthing experience is cancelled. Theo shows Todd that the new profile isn't his by getting him to message the account - a reply comes through. Lisa realises she shouldn't have arrested Brody and fears for her job. Gary flatters Lou to boost her spirits. When she tries to kiss him, he pulls away and tells her to leave. Lou turns nasty and threatens to blackmail him.
Part Four: Theo has an idea on who set up the fake profile. DI Costello puts Lisa on restricted duties and orders her to see a counsellor. Gary goes to stay with Anna for a while. Maria sees the empty beer bottles and accuses him of running away out of guilt because he slept with Lou. He tells her that Lou doesn't have to split them up - she's doing that without her help. Daniel offers to arrange an interview with Dee-Dee on Amy's student radio show. Sally assures Tim that their experience with Lou hasn't put her off fostering. Lisa accuses Kit of reporting her to Costello. He admits that he did. Thinking he's after her job, Lisa warns Kit to watch his back around her in future.
