2761: The students decide that Josh should move out
Airs on Monday, February 22 2010 at 18:30 GMT on Channel 4
Ricky meets with Duncan at school in the hope they can discuss Friday's revelation but Duncan doesn't want to be drawn into talking about it. Ricky pleads with him to talk through his situation and it's not long before the pair bunk off school together. Duncan quizzes Ricky about Martin's condition and he fills Duncan in on the particulars of MS, playing it down as much as possible.
Ricky goes on to reveal that his mother left when he was young and his nan died not too long ago, so it's just the two of them now. Duncan's horrified to learn that no one else helps Ricky to look after his father but Ricky makes him promise never to tell anyone - as he fears that they'd put him in care. Duncan worries for his friend and suggests that they ask Suzanne for help but Ricky runs off.
Duncan searches for him everywhere and when he eventually catches up with him, he presents him with with a new pair of trainers, aware that his friend is broken because of his dad's condition. Ricky thanks him and there's a tender moment between the boys. Duncan promises Ricky that he won't be alone anymore and vows to stand by his best mate.
Meanwhile, Cindy's annoyed at Tony when she tries to get him to discuss Holly's bad behaviour - all Tony seems interested in reading the Scarlett Blog with Dominic. Tony and Cindy sit down with Holly in an attempt to get to the bottom of her truancy but she gives them short shrift.
When they further challenge her about her behaviour, Holly kicks off and throws her smoothie over Cindy. Tony tries to restrain her but Cindy tells him to let her go, before she runs off. Loretta discovers Holly hiding in the skate park and convinces her to give her family another chance. Just as Holly's ready to return home, Cindy catches up with them and undoes all Loretta's good work when she lays into Holly for running off.
Elsewhere, the students visit India in hospital after the crash and despite of Dave's attempts to cover, Charlotte makes it known that she blames Josh for the crash. Dave gets away from it all and goes for a pint but Sasha catches up with him and reveals that she hopes that Josh is in a really bad way.
Dave tries to defend Josh but Sasha makes it clear that she's drawing a line and he'll have to choose a side. Charlotte tells Dave that Josh has to move out - and Dave should be the one to tell him.
Also, Dom's developed a new chilli sauce that he's keen to try out on someone but nobody's keen. Ravi finally agrees to give it a go with a burger and a pint but soon discovers that his chilli sauce is dynamite - literally. Unwilling to hurt Dom's feelings, Ravi stomachs the sauce with a grimace.

Airs on Wednesday, February 24 2010 at 18:30 GMT on Channel 4
Cindy grows anxious over Holly's disappearance. Tony, meanwhile, feels guilty that he let Holly down by being with Theresa but tries to keep the liaison with Theresa a secret from Cindy. Cindy's fears that Holly's run off because she's a bad parent.
When the police become involved, Cindy grows impatient with what she sees as time wasting. Tony feels uneasy at being interviewed by Sara Robinson, especially as he has to keep up the pretence about his final moments with Holly. Later, Tony's laptop is confiscated in an attempt to discover if Holly was communicating with anyone over the internet before her disappearance.
When the police catch up with Jake and Loretta, they're surprised when it is Loretta that they want to question because of her friendship with Holly. Jake, however, was convinced that his history would lead the police to him instead. Theresa, meanwhile, expresses her worry to Tony that their moment together was the reason Holly ran away. Tony, however, firmly insists that there's nothing going on between them.
Later, Cindy asks for Loretta's opinion of her as a mother as she's still worried that she's to blame for Holly running away. However, when the police discover Holly's schoolbag in a bin, the situation begins to look more serious that they originally thought, leaving Cindy's distraught.
Meanwhile, Sasha takes issue over Lauren's relationship with Gaz. She disapproves of Lauren having Gaz over at the Valentines' and treats her like a child. Treating her like a child, Lauren's mp3 player is confiscated.
At The Loft, Sasha's short tempered with Spencer. Still struggling to come to terms with the car crash, Sasha has vivid recollections of the accident whenever she closes her eyes and has had difficulty sleeping. With that, she realises that she's unfairly taking her situation out on Spencer. Spencer sees that Sasha's struggling and attempts to help her.
While they're distracted, Lauren and Gaz sneak into the office, hoping to steal back the mp3 player. They both enjoy acting up and Lauren feels amorous when they are alone. However, the moment is ruined when Spencer walks in on them. Lauren has to lie that she's playing a game with Sasha. When Sasha finds that the mp3 player has disappeared, she tries to panic Lauren by pretending that she's had to call the police about the theft.
Much to Lauren's surprise, Spencer covers for her and lies that he took it. Thinking that she's misunderstood Lauren, Sasha apologises for her bad attitude and tries to reconcile with her sister.
Elsewhere, Rae wants help choosing a present for her nan. She tries to convince Ste and Newt to help her in choosing something but Newt's deliberately unhelpful, preferring to make light of the situation. Ste tries to lend a hand but proves to not be much help either.
When Ste tries explaining his home life, Rae's sympathetic. Ste explains that he'll probably lie about his parents when his children ask after them. Newt grows jealous of Ste and Rae's closeness and tries to make amends for his earlier insensitivity about Rae's nan. Newt eventually makes a breakthrough with Rae over a strawberry milkshake, while Ste watches on with envy.

As the Osbornes prepare to join the search for Holly, Jake's worried when the police ask him to the station for questioning. Having seen the police, Jake returns to the search where Darren's his usual insensitive best. Darren riles Jake when he mentions the parallels that the police must be drawing between the current situation and Jake's past.
Jake turns to Loretta for support and she does her best to reassure him that everything will be fine. Loretta encourages him to be completely honest with her and Jake worries that Loretta believes he may have actually kidnapped Holly.
Meanwhile, Tony tries his best to give Cindy hope that Holly will soon be found but she can't help fearing the worst. They're introduced to their Family Liaison Officer who encourages them to televise an appeal for Holly. Cindy's enthused by the idea and wants to get stuck straight in but is frustrated as the police ask her to hold off until the following day.
Furious that she can't appeal to the nation immediately, Cindy sends Tony out to join the search party. As the search continues in the woods, Darren stirs Tony's guilt about Holly being his responsibility. Tony can't help but feel guilty and decides to take action.
Later, Cindy's horrified to see Tony on TV making an impromptu appeal on her behalf. When Tony returns home, he's stunned by Cindy's reaction to his appearance. Tony tries to calm her but Cindy lets him know that she blames him entirely for anything that happens to Holly.
In her anguish, Cindy desperately calls Holly's mobile again. Expecting her voicemail, Cindy and Tony are shocked when a mystery person answers. Unbeknown to them, it's Jake…
Ste's jealousy is spiked when he sees Rae looking on in admiration at Newt who's handing out 'Find Holly' posters. Ste tells a furious Rae that Newt told him that she's his girlfriend and to keep well away. Rae confronts Newt about it and he vehemently denies ever making a claim over her, remarking that it was just a joke. Rae, however, doesn't see it that way and lets Ste and Newt know that she's definitely not involved.
Newt strikes out at both of them for playing games when they're supposed to be searching for Holly. When Ste misguidedly asks Rae out, Rae chases after Newt, demanding to know where he gets off warning people away from her. Newt repeats that it was all just pally banter but Rae's unsatisfied. With that, Newt reveals Ste's violent past. When Rae confronts Ste about it, he covers just how wounded he is by delegating cleaning jobs to the pair.
Also, Sasha offers to pay for a night in with Lauren in an attempt to put yesterday behind them. Lauren's cautious of Sasha's intentions but agrees and heads off to meet Gaz and Spencer.
Gaz and Lauren enjoy a feast in Relish and smugly watch on as Spencer gladly foots the bill. Sasha catches up with Lauren and seems gutted to have been forgotten by her sister. Lauren feels guilty as a dejected Sasha leaves alone.

It's the day of the official televised appeal over Holly's disappearance and Tony's exhausted from the search, so his brother Dominic tries to coax him into taking a break. Tony refuses, though, revealing that if Holly dies, it'll be his fault. Cindy's desperately looking for answers, so Loretta tries to give her hope, stressing that the appeal is bound to bring results.

Meanwhile, Cindy pounces on Jake outside the police station, demanding to know what he's done with Holly. Jake claims that he found Holly's phone in the woods and Loretta backs him. Jake's terrified that everyone thinks he's guilty and Loretta's forced to assure him that she believes he's innocent.
Loretta breaks down to Jake, admitting that the stress of being at the televised appeal might be too much for her to handle and they both agree to stay well away. After the appeal, Loretta's called in by the police for a routine chat and as she recounts her version of events, she realises that she may be incriminating Tony.
Jacqui finds Theresa alone in the village waiting to start work. She tries to discuss Kathleen but Theresa's unreceptive. Dom arrives and tells Theresa that Il Gnosh won't be opening while Holly's still missing.
Desperate to help, Theresa and Jacqui find Cindy to tell her they're planning on starting a 'Find Holly' campaign. Although she finds it hard, Cindy thanks them and hopes for the best.
Elsewhere, Lauren decides to play Spencer once again and asks him over to hers for the day, convincing him to bring a crate of beer from The Loft. Gaz awaits Lauren's arrival, primed with condoms for an afternoon alone at the Valentines'. His disappointment is obvious, though, when she arrives with Spencer in tow.
Gaz is bored as Lauren and Spencer play video games and Gaz soon demands that Lauren get rid of Spencer so that they can be alone. Lauren, however, refuses, insisting that if anyone's leaving, it's Gaz. With that, Gaz storms out in a rage.
