Paul chooses the wrong battle
A suspicious Dee-Dee follows Paul to Freshco's car park and finds him in the act of stealing a car. She threatens to call the police but he's insistent he needs the money and takes off.

At the wedding shop, Gemma finds the perfect dress - and Paul takes pictures, hoping that they can whip up a cheap copy at the factory, but the shop assistant catches them red-handed. Later, Paul meets Damon at the precinct to get his blackmail money but Damon reveals that he hasn't got it and Niall is coming for him. Right at the last moment, though, Damon has a change of heart and tells Paul to leg it.
