(Episode 2731)
A despondent Jake's down in the dumps as life without Loretta feels a lonely place. Steph apologises for the way she’s been treating Jake and admits she can’t forget what he did, although she does want him to be happy. A voice interrupts their conversation and Jake is thrilled to see Loretta. As the pair become reacquainted, Jake wonders why she never contacted him, but as Loretta struggles to explain her reasons, the more wound up Jake becomes. Unable to cope with the pressure, an angry Jake storms off. Turning to Cindy for comfort, a distraught Loretta insists that Jake isn’t the baddie she’s painting him to be. Steph can’t help but comment on Loretta’s treatment of her brother, which strikes a chord. Waiting for a taxi to take her away from Hollyoaks, Steph catches up with Loretta and apologises for her comments. Realising she’s leaving, Steph implores her to speak to Jake, but it’s futile and Loretta heads off. Making a quick call to Jake, Steph quickly brings him up to speed. Convincing her brother that Loretta truly cares for him takes some doing, but Jake eventually realises he has to act. A frantic search ensues, but when Tom confirms Loretta left in a taxi, Jake’s worst fears are confirmed. However, all is not as it seems and when Loretta reappears, Jake is quick to tell her his feelings. Together at last, the future looks bright for Hollyoaks’ latest loved up couple…
Theresa's on cloud nine that Kathleen's still around, however, Jacqui remains suspicious of her auntie's motives. Attempting to warn Theresa about her mum’s selfish ways gets Jacqui nowhere and she finally agrees to back off after listening to Theresa’s pleas that she just wants to get to know her mum properly. Jacqui finds Kathleen rummaging through a stack of papers and bills. Deciding to set her auntie up, Jacqui leaves a gold bracelet, knowing that the temptation will be too much for her. Arriving home, Jacqui’s thrilled to see the bracelet missing and is quick to tell Anita and Theresa that she fears Kathleen has been up to her old tricks. As the accusations fly, Des arrives. He suggests a thorough search; however, a smug Jacqui refuses to look elsewhere, convinced that Kathleen is responsible. Des discovers the bracelet in the same spot it was last seen, and Jacqui has to apologise for accusing her. Agreeing to start afresh, Jacqui’s unaware that hidden in Kathleen’s handbag is a credit card in the name of Tina Reilly…
Rae and Newt make a tentative start after the Christmas break. Newt’s in trouble with Des when he’s mistakenly blamed for throwing a sandwich on the floor. Rae’s the true culprit, but fails to own up and leaves Newt to take the blame and is forced to do litter duty in the school yard. A humble Rae approaches Newt and apologises for not owning up earlier. Offering him a bag of rubbish, she tells him she’s patrolled the playing fields and a truce is forged when they agree to walk home together.

Jacqui’s anxious about her chat to Des’s drama group. Unaware that Kathleen is making credit card transactions over the phone in Tina’s name, Jacqui is confused when Kathleen tells her the call was from the school and the drama talk has been postponed. Theresa’s aware her mum is lying, and as a miffed Jacqui heads off shopping with Myra, she’s anxious to hear that Kathleen will stand in for Jacqui instead. A surprised Des agrees for Kathleen to replace Jacqui, but an uncomfortable Theresa’s unhappy with her mum’s deceitfulness. Loving the attention, Kathleen’s in her element and soon Theresa basks in her mum’s fame. The class are enthralled by Kathleen’s tales of prison life, however, Des grows alarmed when she starts to glamorise shoplifting and the wealth it can bring. Halting the class, Des remonstrates with Kathleen for being irresponsible and insists she leaves. Seeking revenge on Des, Kathleen insists that Theresa steals a laptop from the IT department. Reluctant to comply, Kathleen plays on Theresa’s emotions and tells her to toughen up. Jacqui’s livid when she discovers from Des that Kathleen lied and took her place in school. Tempers fray when Des arrives and informs them a laptop was stolen from school. Jacqui’s quick to condemn Kathleen, however, the focus turns to Theresa when she stands up and admits it was her…

Charlotte returns to HCC full of trepidation at what the term will bring. As the students gather and greet each other, Dave’s adamant the only way to get through the term is to party and have fun, while Hayley is more interested in organising rotas to clean Halls so they don’t spend another year living in chaos. Charlotte is reluctant to join in, but Dave is persistent and before long, they’re off to The Loft to start as they mean to go on. As the drinks flow, they decide to spice it up and agree to ‘day long dares’. Realising Hayley hasn’t shown up, Josh goes to find her.

The students pick their dares and decide to up the stakes – those who fail have to cook and clean for a whole year! As plans are made to head to the Loft, Charlotte’s reluctant to join in. Dave points out that she has to face Zoe at some point so she may as well make peace with her sooner rather than later. Hayley too has something on her mind and seeking out Josh, she prepares to unburden herself. Charlotte’s disappointed by the welcome she receives from Zoe and reels when she refuses to listen to her. She’s left devastated when Zoe asks her to stay away from her – she never wants anything to do with her again. Waiting to gain entrance to the Loft, India attempts to hide when Spencer arrives, however, he comes over and she realises she has to face her dare, or clean and cook for a year. Unable to impersonate Spencer, she admits defeat and resigns herself to losing. Dave’s arrival causes a storm when Jake refuses to let him in without frisking him for drugs. Spencer’s confused by the idea that he could be a drug dealer and a devastated Dave is choked when Spencer asks him to leave. Outside, tempers fray and it’s not long before Hayley and Charlotte clash. Unable to take Hayley’s spiteful words, Charlotte slaps her, and it’s left to a stunned Josh to announce that Hayley’s pregnant…
Theresa’s in trouble for stealing the laptop and even though Jacqui and Des realise the influence Kathleen holds over her, Theresa herself is reluctant to admit it. Des offers her another 24 hours to remember the truth, and after that, she’s on her own. Kathleen’s put out when Theresa turns down the offer of a movie marathon in favour of cleaning the kitchen. Explaining that Jacqui’s asked her to do the chore as penance for stealing the laptop surprises Kathleen and she realises that Theresa’s sided with Jacqui over her. Jacqui’s relieved when Theresa reluctantly admits that Kathleen asked her to steal the laptop and she’s aware of the strength Theresa will need to tell the truth and side with her over Kathleen. When Des arrives, Theresa backs down, insisting it was her decision. By this point, Kathleen decides to come clean and admits she told Theresa to take the laptop and an intuitive Des recognises that the true victim in all this is Theresa. Des relents and decides to put it down as a learning exercise for Theresa; however, Jacqui isn’t as forgiving…

Cindy decides to take over Tan & Tumble and sets up her own vintage clothes shop. Tony mocks her ambition and doesn’t think she can make a success of it, which makes her even more determined to make it work. But she’s annoyed when she lets herself be stitched up by Kathleen and can’t believe the audacity of the woman when she cons Cindy into giving her money to buy cheap stock and later blowing it at the races. India offers to help as she knows a bit about getting good deals on clothes at house clearances. Cindy’s reluctant at first but desperate to prove to Tony that she can make a business work without his help, she takes her up on her offer. India proves invaluable when she discovers an old vintage dress that can make them a lot of money and is delighted when Cindy employs her as her assistant as the girls put Tony in his place.
Cindy is distracted by the shop and Tony’s lack of support puts a strain on their relationship. When they argue at dinner, Holly fears that they are going to split up and her new family will be torn apart. But when she and Loretta bond as they work together to find a missing dog, Holly is happy to have a friend and confidant. Loretta enjoys spending time with Holly and it’s clear that she is doing a better job of playing the ‘Mother’ role than Cindy.
