Suzanne's concerned about Hannah when she shows signs of tiredness. Hannah's grateful for her support, but insists she's fine and heads off to meet Leila in Relish. Helping them to prepare for the 'Burger Buffet', Hannah's soon set to work, but still finds time to speak to Anita about her eating behaviour and tells her to be watchful of Leila. Leila confesses her fears about Anita's situation to Hannah, however, unbeknown to Hannah, Anita is stuffing her face with chips in secret. A passing Theresa nearly catches her but she manages to bin the wrapper just in time. Theresa's unable to hide her worry about Anita and questions if she's been eating. Maintaining that she's getting help and support from Hannah mollifies Theresa and she beseeches her friend to stay strong. At the Relish buffet, Hannah starts drinking while Anita plays a blinder and tells her how all the food is making her feel ill. Ravi's thrilled that Nancy and Kris have made it, but Nancy is less than pleased when she clocks Hannah. As her suspicions grow about Hannah and Anita's friendship, Nancy keeps a wary eye on the pair. Feeling jealous of Kris and Ravi's easy banter, Nancy's attitude infuriates Kris and the couple both acknowledge they've reached an impasse in their relationship. Meanwhile, it all becomes too much for a guilty Anita and after discovering that Hannah's been sick, confesses that she's been lying all along about her eating disorder. Hannah's devastated and announces to everyone what Anita's been up to, as her deceitfulness finally catches up with her...
