It’s Seb’s 18th birthday. Unaware that Eileen and Faye are planning a surprise party for him, he thinks everyone has forgotten. Pleased to see Sarah and Gary at loggerheads, he is thrilled when Sarah says she has a birthday surprise for him later.
Later, Sarah apologises to Gary for arguing and tells him to meet her at Number 8, where she has a surprise for him. Eager to get rid of Seb whilst she prepares the surprise party, Eileen tells Seb that Sarah is looking for him.
Seb calls at Number 8 to find the door open. He lets himself in and finds a note from Sarah which reads “In the bath, waiting for you!” Seb heads upstairs, unable to believe his luck.
Meanwhile, Geoff arrives at Number 6 with flowers for Yasmeen and his overnight bag. Yasmeen is clearly uncomfortable. Making excuses, she hurries out.
Elsewhere, Gemma makes herself at home at Number 5 and offers to do the shopping. Chesney returns home and fondly surveys the pile of dirty plates. Gemma is oblivious.
Also, Lolly talks Kate into ordering completely different flowers to the ones Rana wanted. When Lolly suggests they have a night on the town, Kate’s all for it and Rana feels left out. Rana asks Imran if he’ll walk her down the aisle at her wedding. Imran is touched.
