Plot[]

Part One: Having been told to move out of the flat, Jenny's upset, while Gemma's sceptical, assuming Jenny will only miss Johnny's money. Rita advises Jenny to speak to Johnny. The Underworld workers are late being let in. Jenny tries to apologise to Alya but gets short shrift while a grumpy Johnny tells the staff he's no longer retiring. Yasmeen drops heavy hints that Zeedan and Rana should start trying for a baby. Liz is annoyed to discover that Toyah's arranging a baby shower for Leanne on the same day she's planning to hold one for Michelle. Jenny moves her things back to Rita's flat. She tries to apologise to Johnny but he's not interested. Gemma overhears. Steph talks a reluctant Robert into meeting her friend Peggy for a date. Eva overhears Toyah discussing the baby shower with Leanne. She's annoyed to realise Toyah's taking all the credit and quickly points out it was her idea. In a bid to make amends with Jenny, Gemma phones Johnny masquerading as a potential client and arranging to meet him in the bistro. Aidan confronts Johnny about his retirement U-turn and as a row escalates, Aidan tells him that he's going to set up in competition. The factory staff realise all is not well.

Part Two: Toyah finds out from Liz that she was supposed to do a trial shift and that Eva was tasked with giving her the message. Gemma tells Jenny how she's lured Johnny to the bistro so they can kiss and make up. Jenny's ungrateful. Billy tells Shona he's found out that a job's going at the cafe. She panics, knowing she's bound to come face to face with David but he tells her that she has few options. As Robert and Michelle enjoy a cosy chat in the bistro, Steph steps in and reminds him of his date with Peggy. Jenny turns up in the bistro. Johnny's furious to realise he's been duped and as she begs for a second chance he sacks her on the spot. Aidan overhears and is sympathetic to his father. The two make up. Toyah rows with Eva for failing to pass on the message. Leanne's furious with the pair of them as they lock horns. Yasmeen gives a shocked Rana some ovulation kits so she can maximise her chances of falling pregnant. Johnny tells Aidan he will hand over the factory to him when he's proved his abilities. Gemma apologises to Johnny for setting him up and he realises he got Jenny wrong. Alya knocks Rana's bag in the cafe and both the ovulation kits and some contraception pills fall out. Michelle apologises to Leanne and suggests they combine their showers. Alya tells Rana she should be honest with Zeedan. As Jenny clears out her locker, Johnny apologises to her. They both admit they love he each other and he goes down on one knee and proposes in front of all the staff.
