Determined to take action before Bea gets hurt, Elly decides to move out – and into Number 32. But the shock decision rocks oblivious Bea and Karl.

Susan and Finn watch on, horrified that it has come to this. Elly must convince Bea and Karl to let her go, but how can she when she can hardly convince herself?

Meanwhile, Karl and Susan's infamous "blue box" ends up in the wrong hands when Hendrix mistakes it for a barbecue plate that Karl asked him to retrieve. Hendrix is astonished and highly amused when he discovers the contents but intends to put the cheeky goods back where he found them… until he changes his mind.

Elsewhere, Chloe is relishing her power-couple status with Pierce – until life as GM gets real – Lucy Robinson has set a slate of challenging targets that Chloe and the staff must hit.

Failure to reach them would result in the hotel losing its Lassiters brand. Does Chloe have what it takes? It looks like Lucy isn't so sure.
