Further details
It's Gemma's 21st birthday and she wakes up with her faith in achieving fame as unshakeable as ever. But it dawns on her that her dream may not come true after all, so she and Jeff visit her agent, Kenny, whom she decides to leave. Kenny though, decides he will make Gemma a star after all, by planning a high-profile lesbian kiss with Janet.
Meanwhile, Nell is devastated to find that her savings for her trip to Borneo have been stolen - and the prime suspect is Dom.
Kieran and Gemma finally have a date - at her birthday party - and while Janet is incapacitated through drink, Betty moves in on a rather surprised Kenny. Nell exacts her revenge on Dom in a most public manner, and Gemma finds that stardom - and a route out of Lumb - may not be unattainable after all.
