Chloe's Prisoner Cell Block H promo All the way to France Moody w. Mabbs-Carlisle The team remember those lost (again) Casper

GS: D.I. Parker (Ken Bradshaw) The memorial descends into uproar and Lynda gives Eugene a slap when he sasses her! D.I. Parker arrives, who having seen Liam arrests Eugene for burglary. The new team gather in the Players' Lounge and Casper turns to Danny, Tyson and Ryan and personally takes responsibility for Eugene’s actions. Wanting to rebuild the team sprit of last season, Cass takes the lads to the now vacant Studs, though Ryan isn't impressed, breaking into a “dead man's” property. Lynda doesn’t think the players or fans will forgive Eugene for the memorial and looks to ship him off to Celtic. Felix calls Dragons Corp and is reminded the deal was both of the brothers together. Following Eugene's silence Parker arrests Chloe for perverting the course of justice. Ashleigh is not impressed and reminds the team this was supposed to be one drink, and when Felix isn't there she is their boss. Cass has another idea, and the boys deliberately leave their phones behind in Studs. Parker informs Chloe if she persuades Eugene to hand himself in there would be no trial and the charges against her would be dropped. The next day is the first day of the new Premiership season, and the team haven’t surfaced. The lads wake up on a deserted beach and are shocked to find the boats they used to get there gone. Cass reveals he sneakily kept his phone and informs the lads they appear to be in France. Getting through to Cass Ashleigh gives him directions to an airfield, but now worried he has gotten Ashleigh into serious trouble, Casper promises Felix they will be back to beat Liverpool. Outside the club Eugene, Chloe and Scarlett are blocked in their car by a mob of angry Harchester fans, yelling "No respect!". Felix tells Ashleigh the plane may not make it back in time so could she help sort out the second team, made up of youth and reserve team players. When told Eugene is heading back to London Ashleigh is adamant he owes the club. The stewards get Eugene and co safely inside the club, where Chloe tries to persuade him that admitting the charges would be for the best, if not for him but also Scarlett, which gets through to Gene, if it will help her. The inexperienced dressing room is immediately lifted when Eugene enters, and Felix plays up to him that his inclusion is to give the fans something to remember him by, which Eugene laps up. Gene is introduced to Gavin Moody who is making his first team debut. The team arrive back at the club with Felix telling Casper he is on the bench. The teams head out and gather on the pitch for the traditional HUFC minute's silence. Liam sits in the stands confused how he didn't even make the bench. Parker arrives, forcing her to tell Liam how she spent last night in a prison cell. Liam goes mad at Chloe after learning she gave Eugene a false alibi and she blames him for the mess with the police. Parker congratulates Chloe on a good job done with Eugene, but she is disgusted and promises to stand by Scarlett during this. Half time comes and the score is 0-0. Felix tells Casper and Eugene that if they are really sorry they need to go out there and give the fans the best football they can. Eugene reluctantly agrees to play with his brother again, making it clear it is just this once. The brothers go out and their ability together shines through. Eugene is taken down and a penalty is awarded to the Dragons. A predictable brawl takes place however when Casper steps up to take the kick and Eugene has to be held back by the other players. Casper makes it worthwhile though and scores, with Harchester fittingly winning the first game back. As they re-enter the tunnel Lynda demands Casper and Eugene follow her to the press conference for them to properly explain their behaviour. During which, Eugene wages war with Casper that he will score more goals than him this season, a duel Cass is all too eager to commit to. Chloe meanwhile, is told by Parker that she has no idea how much trouble she's in for Eugene going back on his decision to hand himself in.

The police car door shutting before Eugene can finish giving the reporters Chloe's mobile number. Sully, Tyson and Ryan at the airfield imagining what Presley and Viv “Wherever he is” would make of them stranded in France, and a young boy comes running asking for a photo with Ryan. Quotes: Eugene (shouts): "Chloe! Where's Chloe Tyler?!" Random reporter: "Who's Chloe Tyler?". Cass sending Liam in to the airfield main office as the others couldn’t afford to be recognised. Ouch.
