Alma is finally making some money by embracing her role as 'Ruby' so she decides to treat best friend Leanne to a shopping spree.
It's during this that she discovers Bolton Acting School - which boasts the crème de la crème of local acting talent - and decides to join up. Then just when life doesn't look like it could get any better for Alma, she meets Phil. He's a client who is handsome, sophisticated and insists on taking Ruby's private number - but is he too good to be true?
Meanwhile Alma arranges another family meeting between Lin and Joan at a posh restaurant - but it's not to everybody's taste.
