Revolutionary student Sadie Scott and her trusty lieutenants Lewis Cooper and Ben Lewthwaite prepare their kidnap plot at their remote cottage and jump in their van. Meanwhile, Heston and Zara have to attend a university lecture, where Zara bumps into Jack. Unfortunately, Sadie's target is Heston's doppelganger and, before they know it, Heston, Zara and Jack are bundled into the students’ van! While the gang interrogate Heston - thinking he's a local councillor - Zara sleeps with Jack in the van! Sadie is loaded into an ambulance and Heston comes to retrieve Zara and Jack, who manage to pull themselves together in the nick of time. Karen is again frustrated by Rob's lack of attention and seeks Cherry and Michelle’s advice; they point her in the direction of a local erotica boutique. Nervously she goes along and buys a 'game' for her and Rob. However, when she gets home, she finds an awkward Rob distinctly uninterested. Karen storms off to bed and tells Rob he is sleeping in the spare room! Jimmi receives sacks full of fan letters which the gang have a good laugh over; Michelle encourages a disinterested Jimmi to read them. Some of them are genuinely touching and Jimmi eventually sneakily tries to read some. Michelle admits that she got the fan mail sent from the radio station and Jimmi agrees to go back. Simon asks Cherry to come to Madeira with him and his mother. Click here to watch whatsontv.co.uk’s new weekly soaps video preview, the Soap Scoop
