Howard meets a troubled face from his past

Howard bumps into old teacher Jonathan, who is now a successful poet. Jonathan complains to Howard about the young tearaway who keeps hounding him in his flat. He also fails to recognise a lady who claims to be his girlfriend. When Jonathan becomes more distressed Howard agrees to help out, but discovers that the boy only exists in Jonathan's poems - and now his mind. Jas has a painful meeting with ex-boyfriend Aran, and feels disappointed when he makes it clear he's not interested in talking about anything except money. Also, Jimmi discovers that Cherry is still taking the pill and, after a big showdown, they decide to end their marriage.
