LEANNE MAKES A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL Leanne announces to Simon that she’s going to ask for her job back, get an advance on her wages and pay Harvey off. But when Imran refuses to give her an advance, and Nick can only loan her 1k, Leanne masks her panic. Approaching Harvey’s car with trepidation she hands him the £1k, telling him she’s Simon’s Mum and that’s all he’s getting. Harvey makes it clear he wants the rest or he’ll put them in hospital. Leanne’s shaken. Back home she assures Simon that everything is sorted and Harvey is off their case. But as a relieved Simon heads off, Leanne pulls a bag of drugs from her handbag!

WILL KELLY TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM? Simon visits Kelly in hospital, feeling awful he says if she wants to report him to the police, he’ll take what’s coming to him. At the station Imran explains to Kelly that he’s been appointed to represent her and he needs to know where she got the drugs.

ED’S NOT IN THE MOOD TO PARTY When Michael reveals they’re going to throw a gender reveal party for the baby and Ronnie’s offered to fund it, Ed’s annoyed that his brother’s treading on his toes.

ELSEWHERE Tyrone flirts with Alina in the cafe and it’s clear she enjoys his attention. Sally insists on helping Abi plan her wedding and appoints herself Maid of Honour.

LEANNE DEALS WITH THINGS HERSELF Leanne receives a text from Harvey with the details of her first drugs drop. At a seedy flat, a menacing bloke ushers her in while he checks the pills. Eventually released, her heart pounding, Leanne fights back tears. Back on the street Nick demands to know what’s going on, convinced she and Simon are hiding something. Leanne fobs Nick off but having taken a call from Harvey informing her that he’s lined up her next drop, a despairing Leanne realises she’s trapped and there’s nothing she can do.

ASHA DOES THE RIGHT THING Asha confesses to Dev that it was her idea to buy the pills as she just wanted to forget who she was for a few hours. Dev’s shocked at her level of despair.

ED PUSHES RONNIE OUT Michael’s grateful when Ed insists he’ll pay for the party, not Ronnie. Out of earshot, Ronnie answers his phone and tells the caller to stop pestering him.

ELSEWHERE Having been released without charge, a defiant Kelly tells Imran she’s not going back to her foster parents and he can’t make her. When Imran reveals that he and Toyah are foster parents, Kelly suggests she could stay with them. Abi plucks up the courage and tells Sally she doesn’t want a big fancy wedding but she’d be honoured if Sally would conduct a ceremony. Fiz is bemused to catch Tyrone looking at beauty therapies online.
