Roy's new stock arrives - and he's sold a car by lunchtime. Frank is impressed by Roy, but Roy is suspicious of Frank's questions, thinking he's jealous. Peggy pushes Frank to move in with her but he is still resistant. Ian's mystery shop is opened and he reveals 'Beales Market'. But the market traders are up in arms when they find that Ian is undercutting them. Melanie comes into the shop asking for a job. Ian thinks she's overqualified but gives her a go and tells her she should start tomorrow. Robbie plucks up the courage to invite Melanie to the toga party and Barry tries to chat her up in the pub, but Louise tells her that Barry is the local 'octopus'. Huw suggests Robbie make some vodka jelly for his party - but Sonia finds the jelly in the fridge and innocently offers some to Martin and Nicky. They get drunk and start throwing paint around the flat. Robbie is distraught.
