1. Theo plays dirty to win Todd back

It’s all go on marathon day – or at least it should be. While Sarah, James, Gemma and Chesney gather at the tram stop ready to cheer Todd on, Theo casually drops in and claims he already knocked on Todd’s door but got no answer. According to him, Todd must’ve set off early. Sounds convincing… but something doesn’t quite add up.

Back at the flat, Todd finally stirs – bleary-eyed, disoriented and definitely not race-ready. As reality hits, so does the horror: he’s completely missed the marathon. Panic turns to embarrassment as he realises he’s let everyone down.

Later, Theo swans back onto the Street proudly flashing a medal, milking the moment for all it’s worth. Meanwhile, mortified Todd does his best to stay out of sight, not exactly keen on facing the music.

But Theo isn’t done yet. He gently coaxes Todd into letting him inside, turning on the charm as Todd beats himself up over the whole disaster. Sensing his vulnerability, Theo pulls him into a comforting embrace. Is this genuine support, or just another calculated move? And more importantly, will Todd fall for it all over again?

2. Mal makes himself at home

Elsewhere, Dev and Bernie return from their holiday hoping for a bit of peace and quiet – but that dream is short-lived. Waiting to greet them is Mal Roper, as bold as brass, announcing he’s planning to stick around for the long haul. Bernie’s face says it all… this is the last thing she wanted.

Meanwhile, Adam and Alya are dealing with a professional nightmare. The fallout from their recent data breach is hitting hard, with clients dropping away faster than they can keep track.

Whether it’s enough to save the situation remains to be seen – but one thing’s for sure, the pressure is well and truly on.
