Plot[]
Part One: Chesney wants a party to celebrate his birthday. He's unimpressed when Fiz suggests hiring the cafe for it. John is thrown into panic when Colin calls on him. Gail is cold towards Audrey and Lewis. He promises to cover the costs for Greece. Colin tells John that he's applying for a job and therefore insists that John drops the false identity and stops using his name. The biker flirts with Liz. Lewis distracts Deirdre in the bookies by saying he's seen Eccles wandering in the ginnel. She rushes off, asking him to look after the premises for a few minutes. Dev complains to Ashley and Claire that Sunita wants a nanny. Annoyed with his sexist attitude towards his wife, Claire offers to do the job. Dev's unimpressed. Lewis steals a betting slip having franked it first. Leanne comes in and, annoyed to see him behind the counter, asks him to leave. Before going, he places a genuine bet as a cover. Fiz hires the cafe and finds out from Roy that John's lied to her and hasn't asked him for his job back after all.
Part Two: Fiz goes home and confronts John who tells her he could never go back to working behind a counter again. Leanne chides Deirdre for leaving the bookies unmanned. Lewis fills in the stolen betting slip with the name of a horse that's just won its race. Out of guilt, Kevin makes Tyrone a very generous offer for his share of the garage. Tyrone's touched whilst Molly can see straight through him. Lewis goes back to the bookies where Deirdre is alone again. Getting her out of the way, he swaps his forged slip for the genuine one in the till, and then "finds out" he's won £300. Kirk tells Chesney he'll smuggle some booze into the party disguised as a fruit punch. The biker slaps Liz her on the bum. Furious, she bars him. He leaves telling her that she looks nothing like her photo anyway. She is mystified while Sean panics. John secretly meets up with Charlotte. She promises to try and talk Colin round. Lewis says he has flights and accommodation booked for Alonissos. Audrey's thrilled and highlights his generosity to Gail who remains unimpressed. Audrey tells her that they might move there permanently.
