Summary[]

Zsa Zsa, Fatboy, Leon and Mercy all escape to the Square, seeking solace from family life. They end up forming an unlikely friendship as they squat in Amira's flat.

Zsa Zsa arrives in Albert Square on the run from her stepfather, Andy, who thinks she is inside 89B George Street. He leaves her belongings outside and waits for her. Leon is inside with Lucy. He hears Andy shouting outside, and when Lucy points out where Zsa Zsa is hiding, Leon defends Zsa Zsa, causing Lucy to leave.

Mercy and Fatboy leave the community centre, where Fatboy's attempts to encourage more young people to the church by setting up a website called godlypodly.co.uk has left them both humiliated.

Zsa Zsa's clothes catch Fatboy's eye and he and Mercy take the bags. Andy catches up with Zsa Zsa, but Leon fights him off her. Zsa Zsa runs off and Leon searches for her. He bumps into Fatboy and Mercy and persuades them to help look for Zsa Zsa. They find her, but Andy's car comes round the corner and the four-run to 89B George Street, which Zsa Zsa accesses with a key. Mercy then goes to the bathroom to take a pregnancy test.

Leon tells Fatboy his alcoholic father has kicked him out of the house and Fatboy says his parents were killed in a drive-by shooting. The four then decide to stay in the flat.
