Wednesday 26 March 2008 9:00pm - 10:00pm on ITV1.

Mal and Karina’s daughter Ocean (Alice Henley) has returned claiming to be devastated to have read about her mother and father’s break-up in the papers - the truth is that she’s been expelled for selling alcohol to the other kids. Mal (Sean Gallagher) and Karina (Michelle Collins) organize to pull down any signs of a split and Mal is forced to fire Jinx (Sophia Dawnay) and pack her off. Ocean’s timing proves particularly inconvenient as Mal and Karina are due to fly to New York to try and sell the show to the Americans. Ocean is actually on a personal mission to bag Luke (Sol Heras).

Luke is still reeling from his fallout with Dana (Sammy Glen) and the fact that she has become an overnight internet success with Suicide Bride. Mal has organized a photo-shoot to boost Luke’s ego and profile, but Ocean uses it as an opportunity to flirt with Luke. Mal and Karina determine that Ocean must go to New York with them. Ocean skips out of the endeavor by hiding her passport and is left in a disgruntled Pete’s care. Ocean sees the empty house as a prime excuse for a party in which to seduce Luke.

Felix (Adam Leese) continues to ingratiate himself to Luke and misconstrues a throw-away remark from him as an invitation for a date. Felix turns up at the mansion to find no-one home. He flushes Luke’s mum’s ashes down the toilet in retaliation, turning his full attention to his relationship with Latex Luke, he takes him out for a romantic picnic and proposes to him.

Karina is presented with a headache of her own when Lynette (Alison Newman) turns up at the contestants’ house and starts a protest that Rock Rivals stole her daughter. Bethany (Holly Quin-Ankrah) has it out with Lynette and Lynette steams off threatening to take Bethany down. Bethany throws herself into her training and chooses to opt out of the party so as not to jeopardize her performance on the live show. Lynette gets on the phone to The Sun and arranges to sell a story on her daughter.

Mal and Karina arrive in New York and begin their pitch, only to find that the Americans have no room in their show for Karina. Mal stands by her in a show of solidarity and the commission is theirs. Mal and Karina vow to get their lives back on track with Ocean at the centre.

Back at the house and the party is kicking off. Angel (Lisa Dwan) uses the party as an opportunity to document the obvious dividing lines in the Faith mansion on her mobile phone. In-fighting within Fade Up results in Addison (Robert Sheehan) drugging Declan’s drink with Sasha’s drugs. Declan (Shane McDaid) falls down the stairs and twists his ankle whilst the other contestants party outside. Ocean meanwhile, gets her claws into an emotionally vulnerable Luke and the two sleep together.

Mal and Karina return home to find the devastation wreaked by the party – a broken ankled Declan, drugs in the house and Ocean upstairs in bed with Luke. Declan is forced to drop out of the band and a still drunk Sasha (Helen Modern) is voted off that week’s live-show. Mal, wary that Ocean is threatening Luke’s performance, packs Ocean off to Bratcamp without consulting Karina. Karina flies off the handle at Mal’s betrayal and the two are back at loggerheads – the divorce presses on.
