Sasha thinks she's got Warren exactly where she wants him. Unfortunately, an 18-year-old wannabe is nothing to a cocky Warren. Her attempts to blackmail him fall flat and before she knows it, he's got her eating out of his hand.
Meanwhile, Calvin's desire to see Warren behind bars backfired and led to his suspension from the police force. A suspicious Leo demands answers from him. With the threat of his father going to see Warren directly, Calvin is forced into confess. With everything out in the open, there's only one thing for it - father and son agree to work together in a bid to bring Warren down.
It's Michaela's 18th birthday and she's disappointed with the standard of her presents, particularly when she's lumbered with an ugly painting from Nana McQueen, who had clearly forgotten it was her birthday. Michaela decides she'd rather have the money and is on the way to pawn it when she bumps into Sasha.
Following a disagreement about Sasha's relationship with Warren, Michaela flees leaving the painting behind.
Meanwhile, a fed up Zak is back at the McQueens' flicking through the TV channels when he comes across a similar painting from the same artist - worth thousands. Zak rushes off to track Michaela down.
The McQueens are furious and inevitably take their frustration out on Zak, who vows to find the painting. However, it's too late. By the time Zak recovers it, it's been painted over with a naked Elliot.
It's an awkward morning after the night before for Elliot and Leila. Their night of passion was obviously not as hot as they'd hoped and has left Elliot feeling embarrassed. In a bid to help Elliot relax, Leila decides to paint him - naked.
An apprehensive Elliot agrees to pose for her and by the end, he's embracing his nakedness. Just as Elliot considers turning to the naturist way of life, Zak bursts in to find Elliot with nothing but his modesty covered. Elliot's mortified - and back to square one with Leila.
Desperate to see his son, Russ decides to try and make amends with Jacqui. Just as Jacqui's on the verge of agreeing to give Russ access, Nancy comes in all guns blazing. Her vicious verbal attack on Jacqui consequently scuppers Russ's chances of seeing Max, leaving Russ devastated.
