Garry tells Dawn they’re going to dinner. Their meal at the Argee Bhajee goes well until Dawn talks about Jase. Dawn finds a ring in her cocktail and Garry proposes, but Dawn’s upset and tells him it’s never going to happen. Garry’s distraught. Heather’s still upset because Minty said she didn’t count as a real woman. Prompted by Shirley, Minty apologises and asks Heather out to dinner. Heather refuses, but eventually goes. They get on well until Heather innocently puts her hand on Minty’s, he thinks she wants more than friendship and walks out of the Argee Bhajee. Heather goes to Shirley in tears, she doesn’t think she’s meant to be happy. Shirley shows Heather a picture of George Michael’s house. Shirley knows where it is and suggests they go.
