With the wounds of their break-up still fresh, Chloe and Elly struggle to navigate a new normal. Elly continues texting and organising outings for the pair, intent on maintaining their friendship, but to Chloe, Elly appears to be acting as if their relationship never happened.
Trying to push past her hurt, Chloe takes Pierce up on his invite to a movie premiere. Looking forward to a night of glamour, Chloe dresses for the red carpet, only to learn Pierce has lined up something way more low-key – the moonlight cinema, complete with bean bags and a cheese spread.
As they laugh off the misunderstanding and settle in, their usual chemistry comes alive, making it difficult for Pierce to remember they're just friends. He sees Elly's constant texting is causing Chloe anguish and Chloe confides her complicated feelings about the break-up.
Pierce hates that Chloe's in pain and feels compelled to enlighten Elly as to the effect she's having. He runs into Elly at Lasstiers late at night and confronts her, unaware that Susan and Karl have already been telling Elly how she should handle her break-up.
Elly's sick of unsolicited advice and their exchange quickly becomes heated. Pierce storms off and as an emotional Elly walks up the stairs, she slips and falls on her tummy. Is her baby in peril?
What to Read Next
Meanwhile, still smarting from her humiliation in front of Gail last week, Harlow is keen to capitalise on the secret she now holds over Roxy. She lays out a list of domestic duties for Roxy to take over, but most incensing of all is that she gets full custody of Hermione. It's galling to Roxy – Harlow doesn't even have her licence. But Roxy has no bargaining power and must cave to a smug Harlow's demands.
Elsewhere, Yashvi is stoked to be getting a car off the back of last week's negotiation with her parents, but when Ned lets slip that moving into the Willis house was never an option for Yashvi, Shane realises he has been duped by his daughter. Shane vents his frustration to Dipi about the person Yashvi is becoming, declaring he doesn't see a lot to like about her. Little does Shane know, Yashvi overhears his damning assessment and is crushed.
The trouble at home throws Yashvi off her game at school and she flunks an important English assessment. New student Mackenzie suggests Yashvi should ask Elly if she could sit the essay again. Mackenzie's advice is a winner and Yashvi gets her second shot, but she's still feeling blue about what Shane said. The rift between father and daughter is only growing wider.
