Soaps loves to party hard... but a little too much for Dr Phil.
With her parents abroad, 19 year-old party-girl Soaps has been making the most of London's club scene. So when David is left bruised by the flack he took for the failed sign-off, she decides to take him out partying put a smile back on his face.
Soaps has a reputation for stamina, regularly going to all-night raves. So far she has managed to get to site on time each morning. But will David be able to keep up?
After a few drinks, the pair goes dancing. Soaps is concerned that David is damaging her chances of pulling. Fully lubricated, she is in talkative mood, and explains how she enjoys spending time. "Partying, partying, partying and more partying."
On the dance-floor Soaps is soon love-struck, having found her dance partner for the night. Suddenly lost for words, she is content to listen to the admiration of her new friend. "So you're like a builder woman or what? With like a hammer and everything?" David heads home alone.
At lunchtime the following day Soaps is not at work, and Dr Phil isn't happy. "Disgust is the word. I'm not disappointed, I'm not angry. I'm disgusted." Keen to teach the trainees a lesson in responsibility he asks them to sweep up the car park, telling them to "blame Soaps when she eventually turns up".
Meanwhile Soaps is enjoying a late breakfast with her new friend, refreshed by a long night of hair-stroking and poetry reading. When she finally arrives in Woolwich, the trainees are taking Dr Phil's advice. They are angry with Soaps and blame her for the menial and tedious task they have been set. Greg Males launches a furious attack.
Soaps is forced to provide an explanation. "I pulled… Simple as that." But Soaps' excuse is not good enough for the team, and Greg is losing his patience. "Don't start with me. I'm not one of your punk friends."
In Dr Phil's office, he tells Soaps that if she's late again, "it will be the end of the road", and issues her with a verbal warning. This warning costs the team £500 from their Completion Bonus.
After the meeting Soaps unsure about her future on the project, and suspects that her card has been marked. "I'm next."
