PlotEdit

Janice tells Toyah that she can move in for a while so as to avoid having to see Maria. Roy is still upset about Ciaran's betrayal, and Hayley decides to have a word with Ciaran. Fiz and Maria see Toyah on her return to the flat and refuses to accept Maria's apology. Candice discusses party outfits and tactics of getting Jason off Katy to Sarah. Spider sees Toyah and asks her what is wrong. Toyah decides to go with Spider to London. Toyah tells Janice that she is leaving. Though Janice puts on a brave face, she is upset. Eileen reveals to Todd that, following a hint from Jason, she has worked out that he and Sarah are having sex. She gives him her blessing. Toyah tries to tell Les that she is leaving, but he convinces her to think about it for a week. Hayley does indeed talk to Ciaran who confirms that he is setting up a rival cafe. Janice tells Les the truth of Toyah's situation. Roy tells a dejected Toyah to be true to herself, and consequently she tells Les that she has decided to go to London. Les surprises her by giving her his blessing. Joe celebrates his new job, and Mike tells him to be out of his office that Friday. Fiz informs Maria that Toyah is leaving. Both Roy and Hayley go to see Toyah off. Fiz arrives, very upset, to say goodbye to Toyah and they reconcile. Maria arrives but is ignored by Toyah. After tearful goodbyes to Les and Janice, Toyah and Spider leave. Fiz tells Maria to keep her distance, just before Janice tells Maria that she'll be watching her from now onwards.
