As the trip to Spain for Yasmeen's grandson's wedding arrives, Alya quizzes Geoff about the hotel he's supposedly booked but he's evasive.

Soon, Geoff makes out he's having a turn and clutches at his chest, causing a panicked Yasmeen to ring an ambulance, fearful he's having a heart attack.

The paramedics arrive and declare there's nothing wrong with Geoff, but a cautious Yasmeen declares that Geoff is in no fit state to fly and that they'll be cancelling their trip.

Alya and Ryan are suspicious when Geoff refuses to go in for tests, convinced Geoff fakes his heart condition. Alya vows to do some digging.

Later on, Alya confronts Geoff about the "five star hotel" he booked, and faking his heart condition, and Geoff quickly becomes furious.

And when Alya admits she's already been to the police, it's the final straw for Geoff who launches himself at Alya, threatening her.

Just then Yasmeen returns home and is horrified to find Geoff threatening her granddaughter. Geoff assures Yasmeen he would never lie to her, but Yasmeen is having doubts.

Later on when Geoff signs into his laptop, Yasmeen makes a mental note of his password and vows to do some digging of her own.

When Geoff goes for a shower, Yasmeen logs in but soon Geoff comes back downstairs and catches Yasmeen red handed.

Yasmeen confronts Geoff about the fake hotel booking and his emails to escorts, and he finally admits he lies. Furious, Yasmeen declares she's going to Spain alone - but Geoff menacingly tells her she's not going anywhere....

Meanwhile, David tells Gail he's been seeing Alina and a shocked Gail gives him a piece of her mind. As David heads out to drown his sorrows, he's approached by a group of muggers.

When the gang pull a knife on him, David manages to push them off and sprints home, but fails to mention the incident to Gail or Nick.

With a renewed sense of perspective, David wants a chat with Alina and tells her he's sorry for using her before. The two agree they need a fresh start. Is this the beginning of a new friendship?

At the hospital, Gemma and Chesney are thrilled to see Aled's face light up when the doctor fits his hearing aid and he finally hears their voices for the first time.

Arriving home after their appointment, Gemma informs Bernie that Aled is better now and she doesn't need her help anymore. Bernie is hurt.
