Tanya and Ian panic when they discover that Lucy and Lauren have failed to return home after their night out. Afia decides to give the Argee Bhajee a makeover to improve business.

Lauren wakes alone in a hospital corridor and flees when a nurse suggests calling her mum, unaware Lucy’s nearby. Lauren retreats to Whitney’s and admits she can’t remember what happened the night before. Lucy leaves Lauren a voicemail message. Realising Lauren’s not come home, Lucy’s forced to tell a concerned Ian, Tanya and Max what happened. Lauren arrives home and accuses Lucy of stabbing her in the back. Dan returns with Lauren’s bag and Lauren escapes with him. Lauren drinks his vodka but leaves when Dan starts to kiss her. Listening Lucy’s voicemail message, Lauren realises she’s treated her unfairly. Arriving at the Beales’ she apologises to Lucy. Lucy quickly realises Lauren’s been drinking and slams the door on her, they’re done. Alone in the street, Lauren cries.
Tamwar and Afia are re-launching the Argee Bhajee with all-you-can-eat buffets. Learning of an old school friend’s success prompts Afia to think bigger.

She tells Tamwar and Afia they need to compromise. Afia asks Tamwar if it’s wrong to want a tiny bit more.
