Plot[]
Part One: Nick's furious with Natasha for her treatment of Leanne. Leanne returns home but says nothing to Peter. Natasha is annoyed that they've missed the viewing of Dev's Dev's old flat. John invents an excuse when Eddie and Anna try to wangle a discount for a new sofa from his factory, saying they're shoddy in their work. Fiz is unhappy to note that he enjoys the pretence. Nick's gutted when Paul Stokes informs him that he's giving his next order to Carla as she's offered a lower price and is resourceful enough to overcome her difficulties. John and Fiz are alarmed when Charlotte turns up, supposedly to return his marking schedule. They're forced to let her inside the house. Peter sees that Leanne is upset so she tells him about Natasha's remark. He empathises as Leanne laments that she will never shake off her past. Fiz tries to stop Charlotte talking to Chesney and manage to get rid of her. Chesney is suspicious. Charlotte promises to return. A furious Nick calls at Carla's flat to confronts her about stealing his deal without premises or a workforce. Carla says that she will lure her workers back and Nick accuses her of playing with everyone's lives. She exults in her victory over him.
Part Two: Lewis and Audrey spot Claudia at a Greek restaurant they're dining at. Claire manages to convince Graeme that he's not ruined his chances with Tina. Claudia sees Audrey and Lewis and is surprised to learn that Lewis has stopped escorting and the two have now settled down together. Audrey feels threatened when Claudia flirts with Lewis and refuses to delete his number from her book. Anna and Eddie can't find a reasonably priced sofa. Lewis refuses to change his phone number. Eddie tells John to expect him on Monday for a new sofa, despite his warnings. John's aghast. Nick goes to see Leanne who tells him how she hit hard times and turned to prostitution.
