Synopsis
Gianni tells Beppe how angry he is that Teresa accused him of being a racist in public. Huw is alarmed to see how well Ruth and Mark are getting along - he sows the seed in Ruth's mind that perhaps Mark wants her back. Later he implies to Mark that Ruth has her heart set on reconciliation - maybe he better tread carefully if he doesn't want to hurt her. Mark decides to stand Ruth up that night in view of this. Bianca, Tiffany and Ricky leave for the health farm. Bianca rejects Pat's overtures of friendship. Louise persuades a reluctant and awkward Grant to let her help out with Courtney. Phil is dismayed to discover Ricky has gone - he wanted to give Ricky a full time job level with Conor back at the Arches. Teresa descends on Lenny's hospitality, not wanting to go home. Lenny is unsure about the speed everything is happening at, especially after Mick reminds him that as much as he is fond of Teresa, she is hell bent on rebelling - and what better way than to go out with a black guy? Lenny tells Teresa he feels like he's being used to make a point against family and that moving in with him isn't a good idea. An upset Teresa leaves and bowls round to Tony - she'll come with him around Europe. But Tony tells her no - he won't let her play him for a fool again. Eventually Teresa and Gianni make it up and apologise to each other. Grant has a bad night. He ends up being monopolised by the irritating Yvonne - while having to watch Phil and Louise hitting it off!
