Airs on Monday, July 20 2009 at 18:30 BST on Channel 4
When Lauren sees Calvin's bruises, she's suspicious about what he's been up to. Calvin tells her that he incurred his injuries sparring in the gym, before quizzing her on the duffle coat she's wearing.
At Relish, Ash finds it hilarious that Lauren wants to work for him. Newt also arrives in uniform and Lauren teases him for looking daft. But when she takes off her coat, she's wearing the same outfit. Theresa turns up and Newt feels awkward as the two girls make digs at each other.
While Newt's out on his lunch, Frankie pops into Relish. She's been told that Newt's bringing someone home for tea and mistakenly assumes he meant Lauren. Realising what's going on, Lauren accepts the invitation, a plot forming in her mind. Later, Calvin is perturbed to find Lauren working for Ash but she quickly brushes off his concerns.
After work, Lauren turns up at Frankie's and does her best to trip Theresa up in front of Newt's family. In the end, Steph takes her to one side and tells her to stop being childish. Lauren's mortified. What's more, she's completely devastated when she hears Newt telling Frankie that no girl has ever made him feel as good as Theresa does. Heartbroken, Lauren rushes out.
On her way home she meets Calvin and Ash. Calvin's warned Ash to look after his sister and Lauren doesn't know how to take it when Ash offers her a promotion. Lauren confides in Calvin about Newt and allows him to take care of her. Back at home, she gathers up Newt's gifts and burns them…
When Newt confides in Steph about Theresa, Steph can barely contain her excitement. However, she's not sure Frankie will be as pleased. To show Steph it's no big deal, Newt asks Frankie if he can bring someone for tea. Later, during his lunch-break from work at Relish, Newt tells Theresa that she's been invited round, too. Theresa's later furious when Lauren turns up to spoil the evening.
As they all have dinner together, Lauren continues to snipe at Theresa, while Theresa manages to put her foot in her mouth with Frankie. She's worried that she's made a bad impression, until she overhears Newt singing her praises to Frankie. After dinner, she persuades Newt to go back to hers for a raunchy session…
When Zak notices that the money is down, the lads start tearing the flat apart. Convinced the thief is amongst them, Archie follows Kris as he goes for an interview at the job centre, but Kris catches him. Kris is soon distracted when he sees a battered-looking Ravi. He reprimands Ravi for having gone ahead with the fight.
Archie, meanwhile, has laid a trap to catch the money thief - and Zak's caught red-handed. Later, the real culprit is revealed when we see Elliot paying the fine Leila incurred for drawing on the street.
In the end, Leila receives a caution and they go back to the flat to replace the money. Zak returns home and nearly catches them. As Leila leaves, Zak reprimands Elliot for letting her near the money.
Later, as the others head to bed, Zak and Archie decide to sleep next to the money. While they're dozing, Elliot manages to slip the money back into the bag…

At the lads' pad, the money's burning a hole in everyone's pocket. While another recount proves that all the money is there, Archie suggests that they should each take £250 as a taster of what's to come. As they dream about how to spend their share of the money, Archie suggests that they head to the pub.

It's the day of the big fight but Ash is torn after learning about Ravi's brain aneurysm. Ravi has no idea that Kris has told him about his condition and has no intention of pulling out of the fight event when Ash casually mentions cancelling it all.
When Kris asks Ash how Ravi reacted to the fact he'd told his brother about his condition, Ash lies and tells him he's agreed not to fight.
