It's Linda's birthday so the Carters need to get her out of the way while they prepare her surprise dinner party. Dean offers to treat her to a day of pampering at his salon - but does he have an ulterior motive? Carol finds out about Bianca's money worries, so she gets her job back at the cafe, where Tina offers her a risky way of making a quick buck. Alfie realises that Roxy needs to know the truth about Aleks - but he doesn't want to be the one to tell her - and Donna takes a liking to Terry, only to be disappointed when she sees him with Nikki.

Meanwhile, unlucky-in-love Roxy is reeling from her discovery about Aleks and sets out to get her revenge, inviting him over for a meal he won't forget in a hurry.
