Summary[]
Tanya throws a birthday party with disastrous results. Jack decides to teach Roxy a lesson she won't forget, and Clare attempts to seduce Ian.
It's Tanya's birthday, and a smitten Sean's prepared her a champagne breakfast in bed. Tanya tosses Max's card in the bin and looks ahead to her birthday party. Unbeknownst to her, Abi has secretly invited Max to the do. Phil's angry about being arrested for the break-in, and warns Jack off. Jack goes to the Vic, where Ronnie tries to shield Roxy by claiming she did it herself. Jack knows she's lying - one of Roxy's false nails places her at the scene. Zainab spends an uncomfortable night at the post office. Shabnam and Tamwar persuade her to come back to the Millers'. Zainab eventually agrees, and determines to lick the messy Millers into shape. Jack stops Roxy on her way to Tanya's party and demands an apology for trashing his flat. When Roxy defiantly refuses, Jack handcuffs her. After a brief struggle, he bundles a screaming Roxy into his car and screeches off. Ian visits Clare for a silver service lesson. She sets about twisting him around her little finger. After shedding a few strategic tears, scantily-clad Clare moves in for the kill, but Bradley arrives home before Ian can succumb. Tanya's party goes with a swing, until Max shows up. Tanya lets him stay for the kids' sake. Bitter to see her having fun, Max spikes her drink with absinthe. Tanya unwittingly gets trashed and makes a fool of herself. Roxy grows increasingly terrified as Jack takes her to a deserted area where her screams can't be heard. She breaks down and finally apologises. Jack throws her the keys to the handcuffs, but drives off leaving her stranded. With Tanya incapacitated, the partygoers look on disapprovingly. Abi and Lauren are shocked. Max tells the girls to get their stuff. He's taking them all back to Jack's, as their mum's in no fit state to look after them. |
