Synopsis

Tom makes a decision as O.B. returns to London. Lauren worries about Newt but nobody will listen. Russ hooks up with Caroline, whilst Elliot tries to save Sarah from embarrassment.

Plot

Jack is issued with a repossession notice. O.B. reveals that Tom is accompanying him to London. Russ meets with Caroline at the SU Bar. Steph refuses to wash her duvet as it still smells of Max. Newt worries about Jack. Lauren teases him over Eli. Mandy refuses to let O.B. take Tom, causing an argument. Russ is nervous when Caroline wants to be intimate. He then discovers that Sarah is the face of an advertisement for laxatives. Tom overhears the Cunninghams argue over their living situation and leaves. Steph notices the door open.

Elliot decides to get rid of all the advertisements. Steph finds Tom, and he decides to stay with Steph because O.B. still has Summer. Caroline isn't bothered when Russ tells her that he only has one testicle and they head to the bedroom. Sarah learns about the poster and slaps Zak and Elliot when they make jokes. Eli threatens to harm Lauren to Newt. Cindy, Mandy, Steph and Tom say goodbye to O.B. before he returns to London. He spots 'Max' in the doorway of Drive 'n' Buy as he goes.
