Gemma passes her problems on. Chesney and Gemma are horrified to realise the extent of their financial problems. Gemma begs Sean for more time to find the commission but he suggests she should be more resourceful and take on extra sales people. Michael confides in Sean that he doesn't reckon Gemma is cut out for selling substandard makeup and she has got too much on her plate already. Spotting Gemma having a drink with Vanessa, Sean sashays over and before Gemma can stop him, recruits Vanessa to join his makeup sales team.
Meanwhile, Tim is desperate to help Faye. Craig assures Faye she has done the right thing by confessing to the police and that he'll stand by her no matter what. When Faye reveals that Ray has been released, Tim's anger reaches boiling point. A fired up Tim heads into Adam's office. Adam assures him that he has no wish to see Faye punished and he's told the police that.
Elsewhere, Yasmeen suffers a panic attack at work and admits that she can’t get Geoff out of her head. Elaine advises her to start doing things she knows he would have disapproved of as a kind of therapy.
