Meanwhile, Michaela is getting drunk round at Amy's and staggers home in the middle of the day, where she finds Niall preparing beauty treatments for Tina and Jacqui.

Later, Jack lays into Newt for helping Darren, but Newt makes Jack feel guilty when he tells him of his own experiences of being abandoned by his mum. Tina feels suffocated when Jacqui wakes her up early with pancakes, pregnancy advice, and mum-to-be magazines. However, Tina is preoccupied with thoughts of Dom and ends up exploding at Jacqui when she pressurises her into taking a pregnancy test.
