Episode 1.8

Seb turns up at Rees’ flat at the crack of dawn, eager to know if he’s heard from Yasmin. When Seb threatens to call the police to report her missing Rees warns him against the idea. Yasmin wakes up to find a fully clothed Cash fast asleep with his arm draped over her. She manages to sneak his phone out into the hall, frantically types a text message and presses send. Relieved, she turns around to see Cash standing behind her. As Garry and Anika enter the office Michelle hurriedly shoves something into her desk draw, flashing Anika a smug grin. Totally out of character, she is concerned over Anika’s hangover, all those bright lights? Anika queries that Michelle ‘innocently’ means the paparazzi flashbulbs, what else? Having been left in control of the club by Bruno whilst he’s in Spain, Joly proves that she’s no pushover when it comes to business. Seeing an opportunity to launch their new venture Chukka Ent. at Nabakov’s Cocoon, Oliver and Ed come to her with a grandiose proposal, only for her to rip it up and name her terms. Seeing that Michelle has left the key in her drawer whilst she is out at lunch, Anika seizes the chance to go rummaging. She finds a file with her name on it containing photocopies of bank statements on which Anika’s fraudulent money transfers have been highlighted - Michelle is messing with the wrong woman. Having received Yasmin’s text message, Rees and Seb find themselves at Cash’s front door. They are led in to find a scared looking Yasmin sitting on the sofa, Cash totes on a spliff with his arm around her. Cash stands, gesturing to his heavy as they push Seb back and forth before telling him he can have Yasmin. As the three of them make a hasty exit down the stairs they realise they’ve been tricked, no way up, no way down. Yasmin screams as Cash’s gang lay into her brother and Seb. In her customized car with blacked out windows Chanel is disturbed, mid-shag, as her best mate Yasmin rings out of the blue, she’s not bothered to call her old mates off the estate since she found her famous dad. Nevertheless, Chanel drives over to help her out. Rees, Yasmin and Chanel struggle to lift a battered Seb into the back seat of Chanel’s car before taking off. A week later Chukka Ent.'s launch is in full swing as a bruised Rees sneaks seemingly undetected into the kitchen. Yasmin is in her element, having bagged a job with Oliver and roped in an unfazed Chanel to assist her. Rees spots Cash and his heavy swan in through the kitchen but before he gets to warn Yasmin, the bastards have locked him in the freezer. In the noisy kitchen and with the loud dance music in the club, his cries go unheard.
