Fight night arrives in Pontyberry and, while Lenny is prepared to play dirty, Luke is indifferent about the impending clash and more concerned about inning over Zoe. Stella isn't enthusiastic about Luke's boxing career, either, and confronts Rob for wrongfully encouraging their son, but the debate only reignites sparks between the old lovers.

Alan remortgages his house in an effort to raise funds for the rugby club, although the valiant gesture could work against him if Melissa follows through on her threat to apply for sole custody of Little Alan.

Paula also resorts to desperate measures to get Dai back, while Leah cries wolf to Jagadeesh about an 'affair' with Sunil. Amid the chaos, Ben bravely asks his beloved Bethan out on a date, however her answer leaves him flummoxed.
