Ricky hopes they’ll get back together. Bianca tries to work out how to tell Ricky he might be Tiffany’s father, and writes him a note. At dinner Bianca is disturbed by how well Ricky knows her, she searches in her bag for the note but can’t find it. Bianca gets very defensive eventually storming out of the Argee Bhajee. Later, Tiffany gives Ricky a picture she made of the family. Bianca’s note is stuck to the back. A shocked Ricky reads it.

Garry was offered a job on Hazel’s cruise ship, but didn’t want Dawn to think he was abandoning her. Minty advises Garry to give up on Dawn, but Heather thinks Garry’s needs to show Dawn how special she is. Dawn talks to Garry about the future, but doesn’t mention him in it. Garry tells Dawn they’re going to dinner. Their meal at the Argee Bhajee goes well until Dawn talks about Jase. Dawn finds a ring in her cocktail and Garry proposes, but Dawn’s upset and tells him it’s never going to happen. Garry’s distraught.

Heather’s still upset because Minty said she didn’t count as a real woman. Prompted by Shirley, Minty apologises and asks Heather out to dinner. Heather refuses, but eventually goes. They get on well until Heather innocently puts her hand on Minty’s, he thinks she wants more than friendship and walks out of the Argee Bhajee. Heather goes to Shirley in tears, she doesn’t think she’s meant to be happy. Shirley shows Heather a picture of George Michael’s house. Shirley knows where it is and suggests they go.
