Monday
Ste's barely able to function through lack of sleep and working all day really starts to take its toll. Abi's angry when she visits Ste and sees the state he's in - she knows Daniel has gone against what they'd agreed by continuing to drug him. Natty becomes suspicious after Ste tells him about prank calls he's been receiving through the night, as the exact same thing happened to him when he became a dad. Daniel's riled when Natty admits to him that he thinks it's too much of a coincidence and quickly warns Abi that Natty is a threat to them.
Whilst on her own with Zoe, Abi 'accidently' lets slip that Natty has a past and although at first she's not worried, Zoe becomes distant with Natty, wary about exactly what he's done. Ste, meanwhile, is struggling to cope in work, especially when Dominic leaves early and Cindy won't give him a minute. Despite telling her that he doesn't feel too well, Cindy keeps loading Ste with jobs until he suddenly throws up in front of customers. Unable to take anymore, Ste walks out but not before Cindy sacks him.
In attempt to cheer Ste up, Natty decides to head round to the flat with a few beers but just as he gets there, Daniel arrives and tells him to leave. Natty's confused by the sudden change in Daniel and is shocked when Daniel tells Natty he'll reveal his past if he doesn't walk away.
Meanwhile, Sasha's still reeling after Warren's death. She's lonely, depressed and stays up all night drinking. The reality of having no income really begins to hit home for Calvin and with no food in the house, he's desperate for cash. Leo suggests asking Spencer for rent but before Calvin can, Ravi arrives. He's unaware that Ash wasn't mugged and once Calvin and Spencer fill him in on what happened, he's furious with his brother.
Spencer realises that Calvin is desperately short of cash and so, feeling very grown up, he heads to the cash machine and withdraws a wad of notes. Ravi later turns up at the Valentines' with Spencer who he finds walking home with a load of shopping. Calvin's embarrassed but grateful when Spencer hands him some rent money - he doesn't want to take it but knows he has to.
The lads all head out for a game of football and Sasha even manages to crack a smile on seeing her dad in his kit. Knowing he can't help his sister, Calvin looks on. Despite not wanting her to leave, Spencer gives Sasha the money to go and visit Josh in Manchester. Sasha's delighted.
Elsewhere, Steph's worried about dishonouring Max's memory by decorating the flat. In a quandary about what to do, she bumps into Dominic at Il Gnosh and the pair start chatting. She admits how she's feeling, knowing he's one of the only people who can understand what she's going through. He tells her that Max can still be remembered in other ways and that he'd want her to be happy.
Sensing she needs a friend, Dominic decides to help Steph decorate, much to the annoyance of Cindy and Ste who are busy working. Back at the flat, a glum Steph is soon cheered up when Dominic starts a water gun fight with her.
Tuesday
Zak's feeling more cramped than ever at the McQueens' and decides he needs his own space. When Michaela tells him that the flat above Evissa is still free, he talks Calvin into renting it to him. But when the deposit becomes an issue, he suggests Elliot and Kris share it with him. The lads jump at the chance and couldn't be more excited to get a new pad.
Just as the move appears to be going smoothly, Zak's torn when he realises that Michaela thinks she's moving in, too and is forced to choose between his girlfriend and his mates. After locking herself in one of the bedrooms in protest, Michaela's forced to move out when Archie slumps up the cash for the deposit and declares the flat a lads' pad. Meanwhile, Michaela sees Zak's lack of commitment as the final straw and dumps him.
Meanwhile, Ste's struggling to look after himself and baby Lucas. When Mike intervenes, he gives Ste time away from Lucas to get himself in order. Ste's grateful for Mike's help but he can't admit to losing his job. A despondent Ste worries how he's going to make ends meet, but it comes as a great relief when Natty offers himself up as a flatmate to help with Ste's money problems.
Attempting to be honest, Natty tries to tell Ste the truth about his past before he moves in, but Daniel gets in his way. Before Natty gets the chance to reveal all, Daniel gets there first. Ste's stunned when he learns that Natty harmed his own baby a few years ago. Concerned for Lucas, Ste throws Natty out.
Elsewhere, Darren's still in pursuit of Hannah as he tries to win her over and move in on her family. Despite her obvious disinterest, Darren refuses to leave Hannah alone – annoying Nancy and Zoe in the process. At the SU Bar, Hannah and Nancy give Darren the slip and head off to find out who their new neighbours are, but they're disappointed when the students at the lads' pad are not the hot next door neighbours they were expecting.
Wednesday
Ste's feeling down after learning the truth about Natty, but soon cheers up when Mike turns up with Leah. Ste does his best to usher Mike away, but Mike reveals that he wants Ste and Lucas a room at the Barnes'. Ste's reluctant at first, but when Mike suggests a week trial, he eventually agrees.
However, when Ste tells Daniel and Abi about his intentions to move, they panic as it will mean that they have less chance having Lucas. Things start looking up for Ste on the job front, too. A desperate and short-staffed Cindy begs him to take his job back at Il Gnosh. He's further surprised when Abi and Daniel offer to let him and Lucas live with them. Ste accepts and enjoys telling Mike that he won't be taking him up on his offer. Daniel, however, is worried that Abi may still have a strong attachment to Lucas.
Meanwhile, Tony can't believe it when Cindy says that she fired Ste the previous day. He's shocked that she would let such a reliable member of staff go, but he eventually believes her when she claims to have been looking out for the business. Later at Il Gnosh, Dom manages to rope Steph into helping with the dishes, but in the end Cindy has to grovel to Ste.
Meanwhile, Darren's accuses Cindy of being after Tony's money. Tony's distracted when Jacqui returns without Max and wants more money to go back out and find him. She's also surprised that Tony is seeing Cindy. Like Darren, she accuses Cindy of being a gold digger and the pair launch into an argument. Tony intervenes, but it's clear that he's worried by what Jacqui has said.
Eventually, Tony advises Jacqui to let Max go, before asking Cindy whether she's with him for his money. She reassures him that she's not, but it's clear that she has a guilty conscience…
With Archie squatting with the lads, it's becoming overcrowded at the Evissa flat. Zak's keen to repair his relationship with Michaela, while Elliot is tired of having no space to himself. He's later overruled by the group when the group decide to have a party later in the day.
Frustrated, Elliot decides that bunk beds are the best way to solve the space problem in the flat. No one's keen on the idea and when they draw names, Elliot and Zak are the unlucky ones.
The lads make an effort for their party but on the night no one turns up. Left with each other's company, Archie goes to the attic to look for more beer, but he finds something much better - a bag full of money…
Dom's still missing Loretta but Steph has a plan to get them back together. She sets up a chance meeting between the estranged couple at Il Gnosh, pretending to Steph that Darren wants to meet her there.
When Loretta eventually turns, however, Steph decides that the best way to make her want Dom again is to make her jealous and so plants a kiss on him. Horrified, Loretta leaves. Later, Dom sees Loretta again but she's with Darren and, getting her own back, she kisses Darren. Dom's gutted.
Thursday
Zak, Elliot, Kris and Archie are ecstatic after discovering the £100,000 in Warren's old flat. But the excitement doesn't last long as the lads soon realise that the money could belong to a gangster friend of Warren's and they may come to collect it. The lads bicker over the cash and begin to show distrust in each other.
When Elliot suggests they stay together at all times for their own safety, they agree, but only so they can keep an eye on each other. After much debating, the lads decide to wait six months for the owner to claim the money - if not, it's theirs for the taking…
After Tony suggested Cindy was only with him for his money, he goes out of this way with expensive gifts to make it up to her. Cindy deliberately flaunts her relationship in front of Darren to persuade him that she's serious about Tony.
Out of jealousy, Darren pushes Hannah to spend more time with him, but despite his efforts to win her over, Hannah realises that he's just using her to get back at Cindy. Darren's crushed to discover that his plans are wasted when Cindy reveals that she intends to marry Tony…
Theresa decides to introduce Newt to the family as her boyfriend. Newt is put off by the idea of having to endure a meal at the McQueens' but reluctantly agrees to go along with it.
It's uncomfortable and awkward at the McQueens' and matters are only made worse when Newt puts his foot in it about baby Max. After much ribbing, Newt begins to feel more relaxed and Theresa's pleased that the family have finally accepted her man.
Ravi continues to prepare for his upcoming fight, despite Kris showing serious concern for his health. When Jack offers his boxing knowledge to Ravi, he accepts his help. Ash, however, is annoyed as he presumes that Jack will only slow them down.
Ravi struggles to hide the side effects of his aneurysm when his physical health deteriorates during his training, but Ravi recovers and brushes Jack's worries aside. Ravi is further perturbed, however, when he finds out the boxing match Ash has arranged is an illegal street fight
