Oregon resolves to break it off with Shales, but he wrong-foots her by leaving his wife and turning up on her doorstep.

Josie's fiancé Dave is moving into the house by stealth, much to Kingsley's chagrin. Under suspicion from Dave, Kingsley blurts out the details of Josie's indiscretion with JP. The marriage is off.

JP is in denial about his father's death, and diverts his grief into desperate attempts to get out of doing his end-of-term exams. Meanwhile, Brian begs Howard to resume their friendship.

Notes
