Dev and Asha set off for a few days of dad and daughter time.
As Roy sets off to the bank, leaving Bernie alone with Mal, Mal seizes the opportunity by locking the café door and confessing his feelings. When Bernie rejects him, Mal's attention turns sinister, leaving her visibly terrified.
Later, Bernie is left thoroughly spooked after discovering someone has cut her head out of her wedding picture. Has Mal gone from admirer to tormentor? Bernie flees the house in fear…
Meanwhile, Cassie remarks on Steve's new bromance with Ben and how Tim's going to be very put out. Having taken a call, Steve tells Cassie that his dad's landlord is demanding £1800 in unpaid rent and it would seem that his dad put him down as a guarantor.
Steve comes off the phone and tells Ben and Cassie that he's spoken to one of Jim's army mates and it would seem that his dad is in hospital and not expected to pull through.
