Darren is frustrated when he loses at the video game he is playing. Misbah vows to bring Ali down. DeMarcus takes off his tie as he supposedly leaves for school. Nancy orders Darren to clean the house. A pregnancy test falls from the bin as he empties it. Toby is perplexed when John Paul mentions that DeMarcus is supposed to be off school sick. Sally tells Nancy that she is a strong candidate for the job. Darren texts Nancy and tells her about the test - he thinks that it's Ella's! Ali intercepts as Misbah heads to the police. He blackmails her into keeping quiet.
Sid prepares to take his crutches back to the hospital, and Ste is adamant on going with him. Darren rants about teenage pregnancies in the family. Nancy interrupts and reveals that the test is hers. Toby confronts DeMarcus, who admits that he is searching for Felix. Nancy tells Darren that he should be a stay-at-home parent due to her promotion, but he is angry that she has kept the pregnancy secret to herself. She tells Darren to leave and he leaves upset. Misbah confronts Shaq. She promises to put things right.
Darren vents to Tony. Tony gives him advice that leaves him thinking. Misbah tells Sami about the blackmail. She says that she can't go through with reporting him, but Sami refuses to be beaten and makes a call. Darren speaks to Luke. Luke advises him to buy Nancy something expensive from a nearby jewellery store. DeMarcus argues that he does not need to go to school, and Toby allows for him to stay at the garage.
Sami meets with James. He says that he needs James to "dig up enough dirt" on Ali, promising to have him reinstated at Dee Valley Law in return. Darren wakes up in an unfamiliar room. Nancy tells Jack about the pregnancy and Darren's reaction. Someone with a gun approaches Darren, with Darren saying that the person has made a mistake and to let him go. Leela tells Sid that she has arranged for him to partake in a mud run with Romeo and Tom.Cast
