Leah: Well I have to create an impression on the opening night!
Craig: I have just what it takes to finish it off…
Craig pulls out a necklace. Leah’s eyes bulge when she looks at the necklace and realizes it is identical to the one Stuart got her. Craig lifts up her hair and puts it on her. Craig then kisses her.
Craig: Knock them dead!
Leah: Aren’t you coming?!
Craig: You don’t want me behind the bar! It’s your club!

Craig: You stupid idiot!
Mickey: What are we going to do?! Shall I call an ambulance?!
Craig: Don’t be so stupid! If Leah gets any hints that drugs are being dealt here and that’s it, operation over!

Craig stumbles out the back way and helps Mickey get the dead woman in the boot of the car.
Mickey: Now what boss?
Craig: You drive away from here, far away and you dump the body!
Mickey: Dump it?!
Craig: (frustrated) Bury it! Burn it! Throw it in the sea! I don’t care but make sure she’s well away from here.
Following Craig’s instruction, Mickey gets into the car and drives off. Suddenly Leah comes out the back.
Leah: (to Craig) I wondered where you’d gone!
Craig: I was just getting a bit of air, it’s stuffy in there!
Leah closely examines Craig’s facial expression.
Leah: Are you alright? You look like you’ve seen a ghost!

Emma: So you've finally found yourself a man?
Gavin: Kinda, we'll seel how it goes...
Val leaves the room, feeling deflated.
