Sharif admits that he called the police on Gary and Anna puts Sharif straight, explaining the cannabis was for Izzy. When Erica confirms that Izzy uses weed for pain relief, Dev’s surprised to learn of Erica’s involvement whilst Sharif remains adamant he did the right thing as Gary was acting illegally. Izzy hands herself in at the police station and explains that Gary was buying the drugs for her. Gary’s released but charged with supplying drugs.

Who plays Pablo? Am I the only one that thinks that he looks like the guy who most recently played Ryan Connor, Michelle's son.
Yeah, you are. Only likeness is that they're both male and have short dark hair
Izzy is a junkie. And a selfish one at that. Finish this storyline now, it is carp!
Really? Izzy a junkie? Must be nice to get through the day without tearing your hair out in pain, or lifting your child without sparks flying up and down your legs. It's people like you who have criminalized a drug that has proven medicinal and therapeutic uses so that people who AREN'T in fact junkies have to turn to OPIATES and other more dangerous drugs. Well done you.
Maria dresses in a lion costume to win Luke back? Who writes this stuff, the local kindergarten class?SO NOT worth my time anymore.
Wow, obvious Anon at 7:13 hasn't ever dealt with chronic pain. I know of several people who have used marijuana just so they can get thru doing basic stuff due to various illnesses. I would hardly call them junkies. I am intrigued by this story line as I know someone with the same disease as Cherylee Houston. I want to see how they resolve this issue. Fingers crossed it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.
I am curious though, why did she think going to the police would get Gary off the hook? That part was kind of stupid.
Maria in a lion suit? Why on earth would they think this was cute? This is one epic failure of a story line. What a horrible way for her to come back to the show. Wasn't she so traumatized by the Marcus debacle that she had a breakdown? How could they think this was a good way to go? We've seen some real corkers for storylines on this show, but this really tops it.
I can't believe that Maria would regard marriage so disrespectfully. Also Luke has a right to be upset....I would run in the other direction if I were him.
In order to keep Maria on the street they come up with this drivel of a story. Maria ran out of steam ages ago. She's even looking awkward in the character now. Long past her sell by date on the street.
How long did the scriptwriters have to write a return storyline for Maria? And this is the best they could do? Has Maria ever had a storyline that doesn't involve her being in a relationship, or trying to be in one?
The only good part of the Maria storyline has been Kirk's comment about not being invited to the wedding!
