Stacey is yelling at Bradley as they walk out of the pub. She tells him that he thought he could take her away on some dirty weekend to Paris and she’d just want to move there. He says that is not what it was like. She tells him that she expected him to not lie to her. He thought he could surprise her. He says that maybe he went about it the wrong way. She says “ME living in Paris?” He says yes! He tells her that maybe he got it wrong and it’s him she doesn’t want to be with.

Shirley is searching for her magazine. Stella walks in and asks if she can help her. Shirley says she’s looking for her magazine. Stella says she threw it away earlier. Shirley pipes back that there was an article in the magazine that would have helped Stella “50 ways to please your man”. Stella calls Shirley a tart. Shirley says “Oooh posh lawyer bird has a gob on her. Has Phil heard you talk like that or was that what attracted him to her in the first place.”  Stella walks out. She comes back asking how much will it take to get her out today. Shirley tells her that it’s not enough and she’ll find she’s a bit more expensive than that. Stella tosses the money at her. Shirley says’s “Oooh it’s a pleasure doing business with you.” Stella tells her she’s sure it’s not the first time she’s ever had to get down on her hands and knees to get money. She tells her to get out of her house and calls her a cheap, dirty old bag. Stella storms into Ben’s room.
