Airs on Monday, April 26 2010 at 18:30 BST on Channel 4
As his wedding day looms ever closer, Calvin invites Leo to The Loft for some wine tasting. Leo, however, isn't happy about the fact he has to lie to Sasha and Lauren about spending time with their estranged brother.
Calvin's on edge when Mercedes turns up for work and offers to help pick the wine. Despite his anxiety, Calvin reluctantly accepts her help, believing that she wants to put their affair behind them.
Mercedes seizes the opportunity to make her true feelings known when she gloats about lacing the wine - one glass with sleeping pills, the other with caffeine pills. Calvin's horrified as Mercedes sounds a clear warning - she'll always be there to remind him about what happened between them.
Meanwhile, Lauren and Gaz attempt to educate Spencer about the rules of dating. As they talk him through the process, they suggest that he should have a drink. Spencer hesitates as he doesn't like alcohol but Gaz soon persuades him to give it a go.
Later, Sasha's furious when she returns home to find everyone drunk on the sofa. Lauren tries to explain but Sasha refuses to listen. Devastated by Sasha's reaction, Lauren goes along with Gaz's plan to let Spencer believe they slept together. As a heartbroken Lauren walks away, Gaz realises that his joke has gone too far.
A guilt-ridden Zak comes clean to Des and Kris about his one-night stand with Laura. Hoping to gain some clarity in how to handle the situation, he's frustrated with their contrasting views.
Des suggests that he confesses all to Michaela, while Kris believes that it's best to pretend that nothing happened. Zak reveals that Charlotte knows his secret, though, and is urging him to confess.
Des accompanies Zak to the McQueens' after convincing him that telling Michaela the truth is the right move. Zak can't bring himself to confess, though, and continues to carry his guilt.
Elsewhere, Josh is heartbroken when he realises that Rhys and India have been seeing each other. In an attempt to distract a lovesick Josh, Jem invites him to the gym. Jem tells Rhys that Josh knows he's seeing India and reminds him that Josh still isn't over her.
With that, Rhys decides to end his relationship with India, breaking her heart and his in the process. Josh realises that Rhys ended his relationship for him and is touched by his brother's sacrifice.

As Zak prepares for his romantic proposal, he's completely unaware of Charlotte's dilemma. As Zak gets down on one knee, Michaela tells him that it's too late - she knows all about his one-night stand with Laura.
