Michaela can't help but gloat about Fletch splitting up with Sasha. Josh wants Michaela to give Sasha a break but she won't, as far as she's concerned Sasha doesn't deserve her as a mate. Sasha opens up to Valerie, although Michaela's being horrible to her, she can't help missing having her as a friend. Valerie is supportive, she doesn't need mates like Michaela McQueen and she doesn't want this setting her back, she's done really well to stay off drugs this long. Despite Valerie's praise, Sasha is still tempted to call Nige but a candid conversation with Justin manages to take her mind off things. Justin explains what it feels like to be Charlie's Dad and she shares her nightmare journey to get off heroin with him. There's a tender moment between them and they begin to kiss. Valerie sees their embrace and smiles to herself, maybe Justin is just the distraction Sasha needs.

Kieron heads to the McQueens, he uses the excuse that he's come to pick up a book he lent to Myra but it seems like he's more interested in seeing John Paul than the book. The chemistry is obvious between them but the moment is interrupted when Michaela comes home. John Paul spies Michaela's bag and takes the opportunity to riffle through it, after she nicked a tenner from him. John Paul finds more than he bargained for when he sees a letter informing Michaela that she has to go for her second HIV test. John Paul confronts Michaela, she's got to go for the test. However, she's scared. She'd rather be in ignorant bliss than face the rest of her life with HIV. John Paul takes Michaela's hand, she doesn't have to go through this alone, he'll be with her the whole time.

Carmel starts her ‘free Louise Summers' campaign but Warren's not too impressed when he sees posters emblazoned with Louise's face appearing all over the village. Warren orders Carmel to drop her campaign, the last thing Louise needs is people talking about her. So when the reporter turns up at the salon Carmel does her best to say nothing. Warren's not happy to see the reporter but he's positively outraged when he finds out that Mercedes has already given her opinion - Louise is guilty.
