Synopsis

Diane is concerned when Tony fails to go to bed, and finds the table covered in unpaid bills. Luke tells Cindy that he's taking her on a world tour. Verity tries to ignore Shaq. Tony tells Diane that he is waiting to hear from the bank manager, who is his last hope. Luke thinks that the tour could be for their honeymoon. Zara thinks that Luke could still live for years, and suggests that Cindy speaks to a specialist. Verity lies to Sami that she is meeting with Celeste. Celeste realises what Verity is doing, and says that she couldn't turn down a night out with Verity when she is buying cocktails.
Shaq breaks up with Theresa. He asks her to keep quiet about the "other girl", so Theresa tells him that she will say that they split as Shaq was very bad in bed. Tony breaks the news to Mandy and Darren that he will need to close the restaurant. Theresa tells Verity that Shaq broke up with her. Mandy, Darren, Cindy and Luke comfort an upset Tony. Mandy points out that Tony did not fail - the business was a joint venture. Sami makes Shaq join him on a night out. Theresa tells Cleo, Celeste and Verity about her disastrous love life. Theresa confronts Verity in private - she has worked out that Shaq is in love with her.
Darren, Mandy, Cindy and Tony remember how many premises have been in the building that The Hutch is in. Cindy and Mandy jokingly bicker over who was Tony's best wife. Mandy gives Cindy advice on how to cope if Luke only has six months left to live. Luke informs Cindy that he has booked a wedding for 2022. Cindy wants to marry as soon as possible, but can't tell him about what Lydia told her. Theresa tells Verity that if she loves Sami, she needs to tell Shaq that they can't be together. A drunken Sami gets upset when Shaq continues to call him "bro" - he admits that he lied about Kashif being his father. Tony wonders if Theresa, Finn, Bombhead or Jacqui still remember Il Gnosh. Diane is optimistic about their future. He asks her to leave him with the building. Tony turns off the lights, remembering speeches and words about the business from other people.Cast

Mistakes
- Whilst talking about past appearances, a few errors are made:
- Tony Hutchinson incorrectly states that he has owned three restaurants instead of four. He and the group appear to forget that he ran Gnosh with Finn in 2001.
- Darren Osborne incorrectly states that Cinergy was a gym, when it was actually a spa. The succeeding business, Attwell's Health Club & Spa, was a gym.
