Luke has a plan to change the lives of his loved ones. Nancy stops Charlie from taking the pack of condoms to school with him. Ali visits Shaq. He wants to take him out to lunch, but Shaq creates an excuse to get out of it, offering to set a date for another time. He tells Yasmine his parents didn't want him born once Ali has left. Sienna's pleased when she's given the opportunity to help plan Brody's funeral alongside Damon and Liberty. Ollie's surprised when Evie makes an unexpected appearance, wondering why he never showed up for her or her son in London. He explains his dad comes first. Misbah doesn't appreciate Yasmine sticking her nose into her and Shaq's business.
Cindy is horrified to learn that Luke has bet all the inheritance money on a horse. She wants him to cancel the bet but it's too late. Shaq snaps at Misbah when she opines that he made the right decision to not see his father, insisting he doesn't need her. Nancy's given a talk by Brooke and Scott about Charlie and Ella when they're caught up on what the teens are planning to do. Charlie and Ella settle on having sex in a caravan, despite it not being their preferred choice for their first intimate encounter. Zara's less than happy to learn that Luke's won £60,000 from betting via their inheritance. Damon plans a photo wall for Brody, although it's thrown off-track when Sienna has more photos to add to it. The pairs ideas of songs for the funeral also differ.
Nancy catches Charlie and Ella outside the caravan together. Luke finds Evie in the Dog. She explains why she's there and what Ollie means to her. They get drinking together. Nancy wants reassurance from Charlie and Ella that they're not sleeping together just to copy other teens. A positive response from Charlie leads to Nancy handing the condoms over and giving them a talk on first-time sex. Cindy phones Luke but, too busy with Evie, he doesn't pick up. He gets lost in Evie's eyes as she talks to him and misinterprets their chat as something more, leaning in for a kiss. Evie pulls away as Cindy and Ollie enter.Cast
