Plot

Ollie is amused when Cindy and Luke enter wearing almost matching outfits. Liam gives Maxine some furniture and decorations, so she can't entertain Clayton in an empty flat. Mandy puts red tape around The Cunningham Grande Bazaar. Mandy tells Tony how proud she is of Tom. Damon is cold towards Maxine and is suspicious when she lies that she used her credit card to purchase furniture and a red dress. Cindy tells Luke that they are going to break the internet with the launch as they arrive at the bazaar. Cindy introduces Tom for a speech but Tom is panicked as he doesn't know where his cue cards are, to everyone's amusement. Cindy declares the bazaar open, and cuts the ribbon to which everyone cheers. Cindy shows everyone "MOBS Rejuiced", a tribute to Max and O.B.'s former juice bar, MOBS. Mandy says that Max and O.B. would love the new juice bar. She shows them Luke's burger station, "Burger, She Wrote". She shows off the "Get Ur Refill" station, and "Sweater Thunberg" for vintage clothing. Marnie and Sami complain about the puns in the names, to which Cindy tells them that Tom came up with all the names. Tony likes the names, and Cindy tells Marnie that her bazaar is the future. Marnie thinks that the future is devoid of "all elegance and class". She promotes the Salon de The. Jack and Darren tell Luke and Cindy that they should feel proud as they've done so well. Cindy worries about Luke. Tom continues to worry about not being able to find his cue cards so Yasmine advises him to speak from the heart. She informs Tom that she's getting her new hearing aids and wants them working so she can hear his speech. Ollie is disappointed when Brooke doesn't want to go to the opening as she feels ill. Ollie plans to bring the bazaar to Brooke. She reminds him that he had something to say yesterday but he says that it can wait. Clayton is pleased to see Maxine. She refuses a glass of champagne and demands the money upfront, leaving Clayton believing that she is a professional. She sees the money but changes her mind. Clayton offers to pay double. Damon sees Maxine leaving with Clayton. Joel wants to go see the bazaar with Goldie, but Goldie wants to take him back to the house. Joel refuses and goes to find a table. Marnie presents Goldie with her gingsend blend, which serves as a natural aphtodisiac. Goldie is intrigued.Tom notices that Luke hasn't turned on the stove. John Paul and Romeo wonder what's wrong with Luke when he serves them raw food. Darren quickly steps in to help. Clayton is very impressed with Clayton, saying that she was "worth every penny" and that "this customer couldn't be any happier". He gives her a peck on the cheek before leaving. Afterwards, she cleans her lips and feels sick. Darren gently confronts Luke and comforts him over what happened. He reminds Luke of what the doctor told him. Luke admits that he's worried as his symptoms aren't supposed to happen for months or years yet. Darren thinks that Luke should get checked out soon, but Luke is worried that he will be informed that the disease is killing him quicker than he thought. Darren refuses to let Luke torture himself and books him an appointment. Maxine informs Liam that Clayton paid more than what was initially agreed on, so Maxine gives him extra money as payment for the salon equipment. Liam is impressed, but tells Maxine that he wants paying back for the furniture. Maxine tells him to take it back, but he emotionally blackmails her into keeping it. Liam informs Maxine that Clayton would be willing to go on another date. Maxine tells him that it was only a one-off. He asks her where else she is going to make that kind of money for an hour's work. Marnie is horrified and disgusted to discover that Joel and Goldie have had sex in the bathrooms of Salon de The. She bans them from the pâtisserie. Goldie blackmails her, threatening to tell Cindy and Tom about Marnie advertising the Salon de The at Cindy's bazaar. Yasmine is overwhelmed with joy to be able to hear everything. Tom begins his speech, but rips up the cards (promising to recycle them). He decides to speak from the heart. He tells everyone about the bazaar being dedicated to Helen and Gordon, who had died this week sixteen years ago. He says that he doesn't feel sad over having no memories as he has found a family in Cindy, Mandy, Tony, Jack & Darren. They present a plaque to remember Helen and Gordon. Yasmine tells Tom that she heard his speech loud and clear - he was perfect. Damon bumps into Maxine and Maxine asks for his help. He asks her about the date and refuses to listen to her excuses. She admits that she slept with Clayton for money, but he doesn't believe her. Brooke feels bad as he got her something from every stall and he didn't get to properly see the bazaar. He is not bothered. He reveals what he was going to tell her - he wants to keep the baby and raise it with Luke's help. Brooke goes into labour.
