A self-loathing Cassie returns home to see the family. Explaining that she just needed some time to herself, she accepts Hope's invitation to a family meal at the Bistro. When Steve tells Cassie he wants to forget the last few days and get back to where they were, she hides her guilt.
Hope and Ruby reveal they have a surprise for Tyrone – they sent off a sample of his DNA and found his dad. How will Tyrone react?
In the café, Cassie warns Ross that Tyrone is stubborn and unlikely to change his mind about meeting up with him. Ross advises her to try harder. Liking what she sees, Tracy strikes up a conversation with Ross and when Tyrone and Cassie call at Speed Daal for a takeaway, they are taken aback to find Steve, Tracy and Ross sharing a table.
With little choice but to join them, Cassie is worried when Tyrone starts to soften towards Ross and arranges to meet him for a chat.
