In a desperate bid to get a drink, Lauren makes a choice that puts her in terrible danger. Alice is smitten with the man in her life, but does he feel the same way?

Tanya finds a vodka bottle of Lauren’s in Oscar’s toys then catches Lauren trying to escape. Tanya refuses Lauren’s request to move in with Max and Kirsty. Desperate for a drink, Lauren calls Whitney but Tanya’s asked her not to give Lauren alcohol. Lauren argues with her mum, then accidentally knocks boiling tea over Abi. Tanya’s horrified when Lauren climbs out of an upstairs window. Max rushes over and rescues Lauren; Lauren turns on her parents, making it clear she’ll do what she wants, even if it’s jumping off the Vic roof. She runs off, leaving Tanya devastated.

After her night with Michael, Alice’s walking on air. Poppy’s horrified to realise Alice has slept with Michael. Kat talks to Michael about Alice’s new man, unaware it’s him. Michael cruelly informs Alice he doesn’t want her – last night was just sex.

Dexter’s annoyed to find Sam working at the Community Centre. Ava questions Sam about his motives; Sam flirts with Ava and insists he just wants Dexter to accept him.

Learning Sharon’s agreed to hold Dot’s fundraiser in R&R, Phil worries she’s taking on too much. Sharon’s concerned when she realises the Reverend Stevens expects the event to be solely for young Christians but carries on regardless, determined not to prove Phil right.

Lucy searches through Ian’s paperwork after one of her cheques bounces. She finds a letter to Carol from David. Lucy’s peeved that Peter’s siding with Ian and is a hit on the stall. Unaware of the letter Ian found, Bianca tells Kat, Lucy and Whitney that if David really cared he’d have written again. With Bianca and Dot’s encouragement, Carol admits to Masood she’s going through the menopause; she’s relieved when he’s unfazed.

Patrick invites Cora to accompany him to ballroom dancing at the Community Centre but she’s pre-occupied with family worries.
