Alfie pawns his wedding ring for the money he owes Michael, but later discovers Michael’s returned the money. He gives the money back and tells Michael that he saw him kiss Kat, but Michael insists Kat kissed him. Roxy’s worried about Alfie, who realises she’s the first person who’s asked how he is. Alfie’s doodled K & A in a heart over his Mexican night flags. Kat’s touched and confesses that she kissed Michael. Alfie doesn’t react, but violently smashes the Piñata for Mexican night.
