Plot[]
Carla barges her way into Frank's party. Frank and Anne are shocked. Dev's furious with Amber for kissing Sophie and equally furious with Sunita when he realises she already knew about it. Carla's hurt to see all her business associates socialising with Frank and berates them. The guests feel uncomfortable and one by one they leave. Dev and Sunita row and Dev tells Sunita that she has taken out the issues she has with his past on his daughter. Sunita storms out of the shop, deeply upset. Carla tells Frank how Anne tried to blackmail her by saying drop the charges and the factory's yours. Frank's furious with Anne for interfering. Tina confronts Kirsty over the set up with the store detective. Kirsty denies all knowledge in front of Tyrone, claiming Tina's bonkers. The speed dating evening ends abruptly when Eileen's rude to a prospective date named Hank, who accidentally sets off the fire alarm. After a disastrous party, Frank persuades Sally to stay and have a drink with him. Paul arrives at the bistro to fix the fire alarm. Eileen's pleased to see him but they part without making any further arrangements to see each other. Peter berates Carla for going round to Frank's house as it could jeopardise her case. Tyrone discovers Fiz invited them for drinks but Kirsty failed to mention it. Kirsty insists she just forgot, but Tyrone's slightly unnerved. Sunita pours her heart out to Stella about her row with Dev. She admits she's fed up with him. Dev arrives and apologises. Frank tells Sally that he'd be lost without her support and they move to kiss each other, but Sally pulls away. The pair are embarrassed at their actions.
