Vinny prepares the flat for the house party, having promoted it all over social media. He chooses to charge £10 to the attendees. Tiffany hides post addressed to Ted from Keegan, who is in a bad mood. Keegan considers taking out a loan for his business. Tiffany advises against it but he declares he has nothing to lose. Iqra adulates Ash in the hopes of encouraging her to attend Vinny's house party in the evening. Mo finds Tommy's school report down the back of the sofa and tells Kush it was not good reading. Jean opts out of wearing her wig in public any longer because her hair is long enough without it now. Mo suggests a wig funeral party. Tommy asks Kush not to tell Kat about his school report. Kheerat invites Chantelle to a casino but is turned down. Tiffany confides in Chantelle about her worries for Keegan. Kheerat overhears and suggests someone could help. Phil visits Callum at his flat to ask how he thinks Ben is getting on. Michaela returns to the Square in search of Whitney. Kheerat propositions Keegan for his new business, promising there is no catch. Keegan accepts his offer and is grateful. Bailey feels low over Karen moving away, having gotten used to guidance from a second mum. Vinny's house party gets underway with a fabulous turnout. Ash and Iqra join in on the fun. Ruby is impressed with Vinny's house party and agrees to consider letting him host at the nightclub. Keegan returns home with a ring for Tiffany, thanking her for putting up with him. He has plans to start selling a wider variety of food from his van. Michaela stops Whitney on the Square and begs her to tell her what happened to Leo on the night he died. Jean, Mo and Shirley enjoy the wig funeral party at Number 31. Ruby notices Whitney with Michaela at McKlunky's and checks in on her. Whitney insists she is okay and once alone with Michaela, details the events of Valentine's Day. Michaela feigns sympathy for Whitney before nastily turning on her, hoping justice is served and she is locked away. Kush makes Tommy elaborate on his school report. Phil approves of Callum being with Ben and then expresses plans to pay for Ben to go private for surgery. Callum advises against the idea, informing Phil that Ben may not ever be able to hear again. Gray bursts into McKlunky's and takes an upset Whitney away from Michaela as Ruby gives her some home truths. Ash is rude about Suki. Iqra disapproves of her nastiness towards her own mother. Keegan and Tiffany join in the house party, but it is cut short when the police are called. Vinny panics and begins chucking the partygoers out onto the Square. The partygoers get rowdy and throw bottles at the police and their cars. A brick smashes one of the police car's windscreens. DI Thompson thinks it was Keegan who threw the brick and arrests him, while Vinny beats up Hari, one of the party guests, when he makes derogatory remarks about Ash. |
