Maxine questions James. Nadira's mind lingers on Juliet as Shaq asks her if she wants to set a date for the wedding. Juliet posts a photo of her and Peri all loved up on her social media, which Peri questions the reasoning behind. James is cold towards Romeo and has John Paul moving in with him. Maxine dislikes the way James is treating people around him. Juliet admits to Peri that she kissed someone else, but claims it was a boy from the Eid party. Brooke wants to spend time with Ripley but Ripley makes excuses.
Maxine apologises to James for her earlier behaviour and asks him for help accessing the access drive. She watches carefully as James types out his password whilst showing her what to do. Having managed to access James's private files, Maxine discovers he's been overcharging clients for weeks. She informs Verity, who tells James of the possible repercussions of his actions. Tony gives Brooke relationship advice. Donna-Marie overhears Verity threaten to have James struck off the Solicitors Regulation Authority and stops her from calling them once he's gone. She tells Verity that James is a gambling addict. Juliet and Nadira are adamant their kiss was a mistake. Maxine agrees with Donna-Marie and Romeo that they should be giving James a second chance rather than punishing him.
Zara enjoys winding Tony up by acting out her election win in the pub, having pulled the memory out of the tombola drum. Luke, however, gets confused and thinks the enactment is a genuine win for Zara. Nadira and Shaq reassure each other that they both want to wed one another. James refuses to accept he's a gambling addict; Verity insists he goes to rehab, reiterating her threat of having him struck off otherwise. Peri misinterprets a remark by Imran towards Juliet and suspects it was him who she kissed. As payback, she tells Tony he's employed a sex pest homewrecker. James resigns from the law firm, taking his best clients with him. Romeo fears he's lost his father for good.Cast
