Casa McQueen is the new restaurant venture dreamt up by the McQueen clan and in tonight’s episode there’s an almighty rush to have things ready for their first paying customers.
Theresa McQueen (Jorgie Porter) makes the mistake of posting a premature message on social media and suddenly it’s a race against time for the family to prepare for the opening.
With all hands on deck, everything is falling into place and the family celebrates its achievement.
However, John Paul McQueen (James Sutton), who was suspicious about how Mercedes McQueen could suddenly afford to stump up the cash for the family enterprise, quickly realises that she has lied to them all.
Mercy said that she managed to secure Casa McQueen by taking out a loan. However, John Paul found the paperwork which proves otherwise!
The celebrations are short-lived when Mercedes is forced to tell Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer) that Warren Fox (Jamie Lomas) is actually the owner of Casa McQueen.
She then stuns him even further by revealing that she and Warren are back together and are a couple again!
Prince, who blames Warren for the death of his brother, Hunter McQueen (Theo Graham) is livid and tells Mercedes that he wants nothing to do with her and from now on she’s on her own.
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking for Warren who was recently shot at by a masked assassin.
Tonight he is warned that something will happen to one of his family members today.
He’s horrified when he later gets a message from mystery gangster ‘Blue’ warning him that there is a bomb hidden in Casa McQueen!
A panicked Warren races to evacuate the restaurant.
What’s going to happen and will they all get out in time?
Plus, the chemistry is clear between Misbah Maalik (Harvey Virdi) and Donny Clark (Louis Emerick) and now that Misbah is on the verge of divorce, are the two of them going to officially get together?
Meanwhile, Dillon Ray (Nathaniel Dass) and Lucas Hay (Oscar Curtis) are doing their best to work for Tom Cunningham (Ellis Hollins) as baristas.
At the park, gangster Rex (Jonny Labey) runs into James Nightingale (Gregory Finnegan) and tells him he has been working, doing some ‘cleaning’ for Warren.
Later on Ste is forced to admit to James that it was 'Blue' who got him off his prison sentence.
How will James react?
