Plot

Ste tells Brendan to leave Amy alone and Brendan reveals that Amy has actually left the flat to babysit. Ste is annoyed by Brendan. Brendan calls Amy and calls her a "stupid interfering cow" and warns her that it's not an empty threat - it's a promise. Rae asks Ste why he didn't want to be seen with her. Rae thinks Ste is still in love with Amy, and when he denies it, she asks if there's someone else. Rae refuses to try again with Ste, and tells him to prove that he likes her. He kisses her and she asks if he wants to walk her home. Dom tells Warren that he wants the money. Warren tells Dom to burn the restaurant down.

An explosion rips through the front of Il Gnosh. Tables and chairs are thrown across the room. Amy begins to regain consciousness. Time goes backwards as the flames disappear and the match flies back up into the gloved hand of the mystery arsonist. There are flashbacks to Mandy and Warren kissing and Mandy calling herself a "bad girl", to Phil telling Tony that he's going to "take something" from Tony, Warren telling Dom to burn down Il Gnosh and Brendan threatening Amy.
