6:30pmNoel (Craig Cheetham) tells Rhys (Andrew Moss) that he is his father. Russ (Stuart Manning) assures Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) that she's the girl for him, but she's crushed when Russ stays out all night. Convinced he's with Dannii (Christina Baily), she breaks down to John Paul (James Sutton) that she's lost him forever. John Paul is devastated by Craig's (Guy Burnet) delusions. Craig is unfazed when he sees John Paul in the village. John Paul takes this as a sign that he's chosen him over Sarah (Loui Batley) and assures Craig he doesn't need to rush into coming out. Craig tells John Paul he's not gay and never will be and convinces Sarah to take him back.
As they kiss and make up, John Paul looks on heartbroken.
