Plot[]
A smoking car pulls to the side of the road on a country lane. Kurt forges a ticket to Louise's party at the Hollyoaks Community Hall before leaving for school. The teens in the car pull Sarah out just as the car explodes. Natasha misses her bus. The teens flee as the emergency services arrive, leaving Sarah unconscious on the grass verge. Kurt's attempts to get to Natasha go disastrously. Dawn has to stop her mother from throwing a bottle at her father's car.
Tony teases Kurt over his inability to talk to Natasha. Dawn complains to Natasha about her mother. Terry interrupts and gives the phone to Natasha, who is informed of Sarah's hospitalisation. Kurt gets Tony to print more of the forged tickets. Ollie tells that Kurt about the damage to his car. At the hospital, Kurt tries to flirt with a furious Natasha. Lucy informs Kurt that a policeman wants to speak to him. Dawn collects Natasha for Louise's birthday party.
At the party, Maddie introduces boyfriend Tom to Natasha and Dawn, who are left unimpressed by him. The bouncer reluctantly accepts Kurt, Tony and Jambo Bolton's forged party invites. Natasha and Dawn find Louise's boyfriend Joe kissing another girl - just as Louise herself turns up! During a struggle, Kurt defends Louise and punches Joe, impressing Natasha. Walking her home, Kurt pins the blame for the car accident on Sarah's boyfriend. She flirtatiously teases him before arriving home, where Kurt is stopped from following by the Andersens' Alsatian!
