As Nicole and Liam reach crossroads in their relationship, Geoff and Ruby prepare to consolidate theirs. Miles’ life is just about to become far more complicated.
Extended Summary
Having made a romantic, special dinner to celebrate Nicole finishing her exams, Liam is angry with Nicole for blowing him off to spend time with Aden. She tries to explain that her phone broke, but he’s not interested, he’s too angry. Nicole makes breakfast for him to apologize, and discovers his plan was to sleep with her last night. Nicole confesses to Ruby that she doesn’t feel ready to sleep with Liam, which she tells Liam later, something he accepts, albeit begrudgingly. He is reluctant to spend time with Nicole, frustrated by the lack of physicality in their relationship, leaving Nicole to spend time with Aden, which she enjoys.
Geoff is still looking for a job and though he and Ruby are both desperate to sleep together, they are unable to find the right moment. Ruby tells Nicole she’s desperate to do it, but she isn’t sure Geoff’s ready. This is confirmed when Geoff talks with Aden – but Aden tells him he’s being an idiot – why wouldn’t he do it? When Geoff and Ruby get together that night they both confess they’re ready to sleep together, but just before they’re able to get to it, Irene arrives home. Just as Irene gets home Angelo drops in to tell her that the charges against Donna de Bono have been dropped and she has been released.
Miles is still spun out by the assault on him – he tells Leah that Riley denied being involved. Charlie is forced to question Miles about speaking to Riley, and takes him to the Station, where Ian confronts him – accusing him of assaulting his son and fracturing his wrist. Charlie doesn’t believe that Miles did it. She thinks Ian is up to something, so she questions Riley about the situation. But just as he’s about to open up, Ian arrives home and squashes their conversation. Without any evidence to the contrary, Charlie has to charge Miles with assault. And to top it off, after being charged, Miles is hit with the news that he’s being stood down from his job at school.
