Sid gets dressed for the funeral. Verity ignores Shaq. Donna-Marie finds James a gambling support group. Sid is certain nothing will go wrong. The McQueens have a flyer for a free drink at the Dog posted through their door. It has a chess piece on it. James won't go to the support group. Juliet alerts Ste to Sid's whereabouts and then goes to the cemetery to make sure he's alright. Misbah can tell Shaq still has feelings for Verity and reassures him that he's nothing like his father.
Tony's adamant he didn't send the McQueens the flyer. Goldie blackmails Tony into letting her be the fortune teller for the carnival. Shaq hands Maxine a letter to give to Verity. "The Embalmer" takes photos of James from a distance. James agrees to try the support group to shut Donna-Marie up. Sid's taken hostage by Victor after the funeral as an escape plan is set into motion. Verity reluctantly reads Shaq's letter. Juliet arrives at the cemetery to discover Victor's escaped. She phones Sid but Victor picks up. Verity meets with Shaq to tell him they're done, but a throwaway comment about a rom-com gives Shaq a fresh idea. Goldie performs a palm reading on Diane; she sees a man and a bunker and Diane trapped in it.
Shaq dresses up as a rom-com character with a new plan to win Verity over. James tells Donna-Marie he went to a meeting but Donna-Marie can see through his lies. James admits he got to the doors but couldn't find the courage to go in. "The Embalmer" meets with Norma, who intends to kill James. Juliet finds Sid and Victor in the woods. Victor demands Juliet's mobile and tells the pair that if they want to live, they must do exactly what he tells them to do.
