Avani wants to help Lily through her grief for Martin. She convinces Lily and Amy to skip school with her so they can have an adventure together. Priya catches them, but Avani asks her to keep quiet because it’s important to help cheer Lily up.

The day goes wrong when the girls bump into Marvin, the boy who sold vapes to Avani last year. Marvin offers them drugs and Avani refuses. When the police arrive, they realise the girls have skipped school and spot a bag of pills that Avani dropped.

Avani, Lily and Amy are all taken to the police station. Jack and Jean are on hand to bring Amy and Lily home, but Priya and Ravi fail to answer calls about Avani.

Avani is horrified when the police officers insist they need to strip search her as they believe she could have more drugs hidden.

Meanwhile, Phil is adamant that he doesn’t want his neighbours to know that he’s been in a mental health facility. Later at the café, Phil blurts out that Nigel is unwell when he makes some mistakes in the café. Nigel is furious and snaps back.
