Meanwhile, Hope is still secretly vaping and threatens sister Ruby if she tells their parents. None the wiser, at No.9, Cassie Plummer makes Hope and Ruby promise to pull together for Fiz Dobbs’ sake.

At the end of the week, Mrs Crawshaw comes round to talk to Fiz, Tyrone and Hope about her recent misdemeanours.
