It is parents' evening at the school and, try as she might, Gemma is finding it hard to get her mind off Billy and onto Tom. She finds herself in a disastrous teacher's meeting, where Jason's girlfriend takes over, and at a school play where the drama is off stage rather than on.

It's Alfie's birthday at the bar and Gemma finds herself encouraging Billy to date another woman. Tom helps Fran pull the man of her dreams and Inca overhears some information that has a disastrous effect on her relationship with Jason.
