Everything seems to be back to normal with Lucy as she and Dean wake up together. Sean tells Conor they will finish off his initiation this afternoon at the club. Brenda visits the flat with Frank present, and they discuss how Warren will give an apology to Doug. When Warren says Doug deserved what he got after hitting a woman, Brenda reminds him it was a serious assault he committed. Warren retorts they'll be lucky if he doesn't chin him again!

 

Frank gets through to Warren that his apologising to Doug will show he can do the toughest thing, and prove that he could handle much bigger that will come in his career. Brenda talks to Frank about how he can help Warren tomorrow in court, as they'll need someone to talk about Warren as a person and the things he could achieve. Frank agrees if it will help. Georgina skips school to "accidentally" bump into Dean and Lucy at the shopping centre. Lucy laps up Georgina’s tale of how she wants to buy her boyfriend something special as his old girlfriend is still hanging around! Georgina gets an uncomfortable Dean to try on the coat she is ultimately buying for him!

 

Warren sits across from Doug, and has to tolerate being wound-up, with Doug adding if it wasn't for people like Warren they wouldn't need people like him in pub doorways. When Doug taunts that Warren is going to love it in prison, especially the showers, Warren flips and has to be held by a security officer. Jacobs tells Frank he is against him going to court to speak for Warren, and they've done enough by not booting Warren out of the club as many other clubs would have done. When Frank has to tell Warren this, Warren accuses Frank of breaking his promise and letting him down, when he stood up to do something big today.

 

Sean and Conor gather with the youth team outside the club, where Sean tells Conor he now has to put the bra in it's "rightful" place - the boardroom! Frank goes to Jacobs in his office and says he can't let Warren down. As they discuss this further, Conor sneaks past and is seen by Frank, and has to go back out to the lads mission incomplete. Warren, feeling he is doomed in regards to tomorrow, says he will do the task, and makes it past Jacobs's office. When in the boardroom, Warren drapes Georgina's bra over a trophy, but when the cleaner comes back in to finish off, she locks the door behind her, and Warren is stuck!
