John Paul: Let's just forget this happened.
Ste: How can you carry on as if nothing happened?
John Paul: Cause nothing did happen Ste. It was just a kiss.
Ste: So you can go and kiss someone and it means nothing to you?
John Paul: I know it seems harsh but yeah.
Ste: Well it meant something to me.
John Paul: I'm with Danny.
Ste: If you're with him why did you kiss me?
John Paul: I was confiding in you and at the time it seemed right.
Ste: So it's back to whatever we were before?
John Paul: Yeah I guess. We were never going to be anything Ste. (pauses.) I better get going.
John Paul jumps off the counter table and makes his way out the door while Ste watches his every move and looks onward once John Paul is out of sight.
Ste: (Why would he want me? All I ever do is destroy everything I care about. My life is worth nothing and I'm just a mistake. My luck has run out and the only way to get it back is to show John Paul that I'm not weak.)

Peri: Are you alright?
Ste: I'm fine.
Peri: Are you sure? I may not know a lot about relationships but I do know that whatever you two were fighting about must of been serious.
Ste: It's fine Pez. We just weren't meant to be.
Peri: You can't just give up on him.
Ste: I'm done talking about this.
Peri: Fine I'll fix it.
Ste: No Peri. You'll just make things worse.
Peri: How can things get any worse?
Ste: I'm going to bed.
Peri: You just woke up.
Ste: I can do whatever I want. And I'm serious Pez. don't do anything stupid.
Peri: I won't I swear.
Ste: Good.
Peri sees that Ste left his phone on the table and she messages John Paul to meet her at the pub. Once she sends the text she grabs her coat and heads toward the pub. John Paul is sitting in the far corner and Peri makes her way over to the table.
Peri: You need to fix this.
John Paul: What are you talking about?
Peri: You and Ste.
John Paul: You sent the text?
Peri: Yeah cause Ste has been miserable since you two broke up.
John Paul: We were never together.
Peri: He does like you, you know.
John Paul: You can't just force me to go out with him.
Peri: At least talk to him.
John Paul: I will now can you please leave me alone?
Peri: Not until you pinky swear.
John Paul: I can't believe this is happening.
Peri: Stop being a baby and just do it.
John Paul: Alright, alright. (John Paul wraps his pinky around hers all the while rolling his eyes.) You happy now.
Peri: Very.

Ste is leaning against the brick wall trying to catch his breath while Sinead sees him in such a state and decides to confront him about it.
Sinead: You okay there Ste?
Ste: Yeah I'm fine just a dizzy spell.
Sinead: Just a dizzy spell, how long have you been having those?
Ste: Not long. What are you doing here anyways?
Sinead: Uh, this is a general area where people pass by Ste and last time I checked there were no rules on where I can and can not go.
Ste: Sorry Sinead it's just that…
Sinead: What?
Ste: Nothing I should get going. (Ste tries to get away but his knees start to give out and the only thing that stops him from falling is Sinead.)
Sinead: You need to see a doctor.
Ste: No I'm fine I just overworked myself that's all.
Sinead: That's all… you look like you're about to pass out. What are you doing anyways running out in the cold?
Ste: I just need to clear my head.
Sinead: Well you could do that at the pub.
Ste: Can you just drop it? I told you I'm fine. You don't need to be on my case.
Sinead: Okay, okay. No need to be a diva about it. Just relax.
Ste: I'm trying but you won't keep your mouth shut.
Sinead: Fine I'll go.
Ste: Stay…I'm sorry it's just I have a lot on my mind.
Sinead: I can tell. How about we have a movie night with the girls back at the flat?
Ste: What about Katie?
Sinead: She can come too can't she?
Ste: Of course I was just…never mind.

The Lomaxes start to get worried about Ste once they notice that he hasn't been eating with them. Danny and Sam practically force Ste to eat with them and though he eats very little he still feels guilty about it and decides to get rid of it once they've gone to work. Once they leave Ste runs to the bathroom to get rid of the guilt when there's a knock at the door.
Leela: Ste I need to get in there.
Ste: Just a minute. (Ste hesitates whether to open the door or not wondering if she heard him puking. He decides to open it and Leela stands there with a worried expression on her face. )
Leela: You okay?
Ste: Yeah just feeling a bit nauseous.
Leela: Well I won't be too long and afterwards we can go to the hospital.
Ste: Seriously Leela there's no need I just probably ate too fast.
Leela: Alright but if you're still feeling ill later on we're going to the hospital.
Ste: Ok. (I just have to be more careful.)
