Ray tightens the screws on Abi and Kevin. Ray reiterates his offer of £90,000 for the garage but tells Kevin he needs a decision by the end of the day. Abi calls at the bistro and begs Ray to reconsider, pointing out that none of this is Kevin’s fault. Kevin confesses to Tyrone that he’s being blackmailed by Ray and if he doesn’t sell him the garage, he and Abi are off to prison.
Alya confides in Yasmeen that working for Ray was the biggest mistake of her life and she’d like to return to Speed Daal. Yasmeen is delighted and Geoff paints on a smile.
Meanwhile, opportunity knocks for Bethany. As she struggles to work alongside Beth who is determined to give her a hard time Bethany is disappointed to get a letter of rejection from the college.

Elsewhere, Tracy and Peter find themselves rivals.

Bethany chooses a different course. Sarah implores Bethany not to let her feelings for Daniel stand in the way of her career. Bethany breaks the news that she failed to get a place on the writing course but when Daniel admits that he’s pleased she’ll still be around, will she come clean?
Meanwhile, Alya grows more concerned over her grandmother. Geoff admonishes Yasmeen and Alya for chatting when they should be working. When Yasmeen reveals how she put her back out moving the sofa at home because Geoff insists she must hoover underneath it, Alya is deeply concerned. When Geoff shows Alya a nasty online review about Speed Daal and suggests it’s aimed at her, Alya bristles.
Elsewhere, when Vanessa suggests Gemma should come to her baby yoga class and assures her that she and her friend Imogen will help with the four children, Gemma is chuffed. Chesney is thrilled that Gemma enjoyed the baby class and hopes that she has turned a corner.
