Hour-long episode

Nancy's 'Parents Who Party' group chat is in full swing as everyone gets ready for her New Year's Eve party in The Hutch, despite Marnie's disdain that they're serving Cava throughout the evening.

Mandy interrupts Cindy being bitchy about Nancy and orders her to give Nancy a break. Nancy overhears and, not wanting to live a lie, tells her that she slept with Darren.

At the same time, a flash-forward to New Year's Eve 2020 reveals police banging on the Osbornes' front door, Charlie's game controller lying on the stairs and Nancy shouting up to him, asking what he has done.

Meanwhile, back in the present day, Leela tells a chuffed Sid that she wants to foster him, if he behaves himself. Later, Brooke is holding her own party at the house. Juliet feels pressured when Sid suggests going somewhere more private. She questions whether becoming an official couple was a mistake.

What to Read Next

Later, Sid meets his cousin Jordan for drugs, but is seen by Ollie and Imran. Luke arrives and convinces Sid to give up the drugs and make the next year a positive one. Sid reveals that he likes to play the guitar, so Luke encourages Sid to focus on his music instead of bad habits.

A flash-forward then sees Leela, dressed as if she has been to a wedding. She looks at the floor of The Dog car park and sees a guitar has been violently smashed to pieces.

Peri walks into the Lomax flat to find Juliet and Sid about to have sex.

Elsewhere, in Charlie's bedroom, Leah suggests playing Truth or Dare. She dares Ella to steal something from The Hutch but Charlie steps up to do it instead. Ella makes a promise to stay out of trouble in 2020.

Also today, Peri, Tom, Romeo and Yazz are at the Lomaxes before heading to a club. Realising that Yazz won't be able to hear anything in a club, Tom decides that he's going to The Hutch instead, so the others follow.

Tom arrives at The Hutch to celebrate his birthday. He cuts the cake with a distinctive knife, which a year into the future, is being put in an evidence bag.

Finally, Misbah insults Marnie at The Hutch and worries that she has made an enemy of her.
