Gemma remains determined to hang on to Kenny despite his criminal record. Gemma's pals rally around to try to get her to see sense and Jeff poses the pivotal question: "What would Coleen Rooney do?"

Together, they set out to meet Kenny and, despite their best intentions, Jeff quickly finds himself being lured by the glittering promise of fame. Unaware that back home his mother is shamelessly trying to seduce the local constabulary, Jeff's new-found client status with Kenny means he can finance showreels for him and Gemma and help Kenny out of a very tight spot with some angry customers.

Betty's advances are lost on Kieran, who only has eyes for Gemma. Nell's eye is well and truly caught by a local street performer and Gemma and Jeff are left eagerly awaiting the result of their showreel.
