Sarah is forlorn. Her mood improves when Irene gives her money to buy new clothes. Sarah nervously asks Teresa to accompany her on a shopping spree. Teresa enthuses and asks Sarah to go clubbing with her. Sarah sheds her insecurities and agrees. Irene's moods are becoming more volatile. She confides in Rosa her fear she's entering the menopause. Rosa implores Irene to consider therapy, telling her "I know women whose lives have been transformed by HRT". Ricky opens the post and discovers an eviction letter. Developers have bought up the block of flats. Ricky keeps the news from Bianca. Simon asks Bianca whether Louise can go to Liam's christening. Bianca holds her tongue. Bianca confronts Louise. Bianca is stunned when Louise assures her she'll tell Simon the reason she left. Barry is jubilant after he secures a date from the agency. Robbie is stunned when Barry's date arrives at the salsa night. A stunning blonde woman - Denise - is the centre of attention. The dance teacher Fernando pays her particular notice. Denise and Fernando dance a sultry tango. They separate and kiss passionately. Barry is crestfallen. With her new clothes and a makeover from Teresa, Sarah turns heads in the Vic. Full of drunken bravado, Matthew makes a pass at her. He isn't successful. Sarah shocks Matthew, and everyone else, when she plants a long, sensuous kiss on his lips. Sarah and Teresa leave for the club in hysterics. Unaware of the purchase of the flats, Huw, Robbie and Matthew return to the squat. The locks have been changed. A muscled thug bars entrance. Matthew dives in to retrieve his belongings. He succeeds. Frank pleads with Peggy, "it's only an operation. Please, please think about it". Peggy responds wearily that she can't. Feeling useless, Frank leaves her to make up her own mind. Steve watches as Matthew frantically searches his bags for the security tape. As he approaches, Matthew tells Steve to get lost.
