Leela doesn't appreciate Joel publicly discussing the video of her with Donny. Maxine demands to know from Grace if the bags are stolen. Grace promises on Rex's life that the bags are above board and, when alone with Rex, insists that he makes more progress in his grooming of Frankie. Joel suggests to Leela that she talks to her therapist but she's reluctant to. Peri shares some confidential information about Mercedes with Cleo at the hospital. Frankie teases Dillon over his latest one-night stand. Rex blackmails Jacob into helping him groom Frankie. Cleo informs Mercedes that the chemotherapy is working and her tumour markers are down. Mercedes is elated and ready to fight back.
Leela's shocked to see Tommy at her house. Tommy tells her that Joel's asked him to visit her. As Leela and Joel argue, Tommy intervenes, suggesting that Joel listens to what his wife is saying. Pleased to see Tommy taking her side, Leela agrees to continue with her sessions. Rex announces to Dillon and Frankie that Jacob will be staying with them for a while. Peri and Cleo decide to book a holiday to Bali. Sienna can't hide her disappointment when Cleo jokes to her that she won't be returning home. While Dillon's out, Frankie gets closer to Jacob and leans in for a kiss. As he reciprocates, Jacob touches Frankie's leg but she then panics and pulls away, just as Dillon returns. Dillon thumps Jacob but Frankie stops the fight and, overwhelmed, runs off.
Leela introduces Tommy to Peri. Before Tommy leaves, Joel can't help but wonder if he's come across Tommy before, but Tommy's certain he hasn't. Peri thinks Tommy's an oddball. Rex asks Ste to move in with him. Mercedes meets with Maxine at the prison and wants her professional expertise digging dirt up on Grace, knowing that she stitched her up for Abe's murder. Frankie leaves Vicky a voicemail, but Grace has Vicky's phone. Grace texts Frankie pretending to be Vicky, and in the text claims that she and Robbie can't be doing with the drama. Tommy has a photo wall of Joel. Having stolen a photo from 2 Oakdale Drive, he adds it to the wall. At the same time, he finishes getting dressed for work, wearing a fast food outfit which has the name "David" on the badge.Cast
