 26 APRIL - 2 MAY
Ravi isn't impressed when he finds Avani hanging out with Joel at No.41.
Meanwhile, Priya gets a call from Jack to inform her that the police will not be taking Avani's complaint forward.
Fearing the impact the news will have on Avani, Priya decides to keep it from her, even asking Amy not to tell her.
However, when Amy and Avani get their friendship back on track, the truth comes out.
When Priya goes to the police station to make another complaint, Callum steps in when she loses her temper.
Back at home, Avani berates the family for keeping the truth from her and storms out.
When Priya and Ravi invite Avani for a takeaway night at No.41, Priya ends up agreeing that her friends can come over instead. Later, Amy, Denzel and Nugget are there when Joel and Tommy arrive with a bottle of vodka, and the boys start drinking.
As the evening wears on, Tommy is humiliated when the boys tease him about his lack of experience with girls with Joel giving him some troubling advice.
Meanwhile at Harry's Barn, Priya sees red when Callum and his workmates arrive, and Ravi is forced to intervene when Priya lashes out at them.
The following day, a hungover Priya faces more anger from Avani, who has heard about her altercation with Callum. And when Suki advises Prheriya to take responsibility for her actions, Priya apologises to Callum and gets inspired by Yolande's parenting advice.
When Avani meets up with dealer Declan in the café, he refuses to give her some weed for free. After stepping in to pay for it, Joel goes to find Avani to arrange a get-together so they can share the weed.
Later, Avani is at No.1 with Barney when Joel and Tommy arrive and Barney is dismayed that Avani invited them. Things go from bad to worse when Joel makes a disparaging comment about Avani when she is out of the room, and Barney calls him out.
Unscrupulous Joel convinces Avani that Barney is to blame for the angry situation, and she storms out.
Later, Avani and Joel are smoking weed together when he makes a move on her.
