Steph (Carley Stenson) and Gilly (Anthony Quinlan) happily reflect on the success of the charity pants walk, then Steph heads off for her appointment and, afterwards, proudly presents the cheque to the hospital. But, back at home, she must sit Gilly down to drop her bombshell: there's nothing the doctors can do for her anymore. Cindy (Stephanie Waring) worries that the identity of her mystery man will be revealed when India (Beth Kingston) questions her about him. Later, Alistair (Terence Harvey) turns up, wanting an answer to his big question and tries to convince Cindy to accept his proposal. Malachy (Glen Wallace) and Lynsey (Karen Hassan) enjoy flirting with each other, until they are interrupted by Brendan (Emmett J Scanlan). At work, Malachy is frustrated when Mercedes (Jennifer Metcalfe) turns up, dressed to kill, for a meeting with a mystery guy; Brendan enjoys watching him squirm. Determined to make something of his life, and keen to be acquainted with all the good looking female students, Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson) takes pleasure in announcing to a horrified Jem (Helen Russell-Clark) that he's been accepted onto an accountancy course.

As they prepare to start their first day at Hollyoaks High, Sinead (Stephanie Davies) shows Finn (Connor Wilkinson) exactly how she's going to make waves.

But, while Cindy philosophises over the brevity of life, Alistair collapses in agony to the floor. Elsewhere, Steph (Carley Stenson) is shocked by Gilly's (Anthony Quinlan) denial of the facts, firmly telling him he must accept the reality of the situation or she can't marry him. Meanwhile, fresh from his promotion to Acting Head, Rob (Gary Cargill) offers a delighted Eva (Sheree Murphy) a job of Design Assistant.

Sinead (Stephanie Davies) and Finn (Connor Wilkinson) have a heart-sinking moment when they see Rob (Gary Cargill) trying to join in a kick-about at lunchtime. But his sporting digression makes him late home, causing a panicked Diane (Alex Fletcher) to ask Sinead (Stephanie Davies) to administer her IVF shot. Elsewhere, India (Beth Kingston) frets over Alastair (Terence Harvey) in his hospital bed, and is displeased to see Cindy (Stephanie Waring) doing the same.

But, when Darren (Ashley Taylor Dawson) scrutinises the pre-nuptial agreement, his reading of it gives Cindy some food for thought. Meanwhile, Gilly (Anthony Quinlan), heartbroken at having been rejected by Steph (Carley Stenson), turns down Rhys's (Sonny Flood) offer of support; and Eva (Sheree Murphy) makes a pass at Ravi (Stephen Uppal)... and he gives in, so she takes the opportunity to persuade him to let her stay in the flat a while longer.

Friday 3rd September

India (Beth Kingston) and Tex (Bianca Hendrickse-Spendlove) are stuck for a place to live. When Alistair turns up, full of life, they think his recent medical scare might have been just for show. And Tex is glad that Cindy's seemingly backed off from seeing him… until she and India next catch sight of her with the ring back on her finger. Elsewhere, Ste (Kieron Richardson) spots Brendan (Emmett J Scanlan) with a mysterious package.
