Anouk leaves the BBQ feeling more appalled at seeing Hector and Connie flirting than Harry slapping Hugo. Lately, Anouk's life is full of pressures, her mother is ill and she is losing control at work with one of the younger writers constantly undermining her by liaising directly with her boss. Feeling ill from what she thinks is stress, Anouk goes to see a doctor, where she learns she is pregnant with her much younger boyfriend's baby. Feeling shocked, she tries to talk to Aisha, but can't bring herself to. All her worries seem to disappear when Rhys proposes they quit their jobs to travel around the world together. Between her age, work and the responsibility of looking after her mum, Anouk feels miles apart from Rhys and like she's holding him back. Back at work the next day, Anouk and her boss get into a heated argument which results in Anouk quitting. Later that night, Anouk meets up with Aisha and Rosie to tell them she has quit her job. When the conversation turns to Rosie telling them that she and Gary are pressing charges against Harry, Anouk thinks the whole situation is ridiculous and doesn't hold back saying so. Rosie and Aisha are both upset at Anouk's reaction, and she storms out feeling estranged from her friends. When Anouk goes over to Rosie's house to apologise the next day, she tells her that she is pregnant. As she tells Rosie that the pregnancy is her chance to change things, Anouk realises that she doesn't really believe it and she knows what she has to do. The next morning Anouk wakes up to find Rhys cooking breakfast. Unaware of what happened the day before, Rhys is overcome with emotion at the idea of having a baby with Anouk. But when Anouk tells him there is no longer a baby, Rhys is hurt and angry, and splits. Screenplay by Emily Ballou ; directed by Jessica Hobbs. Starring: Anthony Hayes, Gillian Jones, Oliver Ackland, Julian Mineo, Adrian Van Der Heyden, Liberty Townsend, Paul Ireland, Ashley Zuckerman, Ngaire Dawn Faire.
