Dean’s distant and it’s not until Lauren’s on the verge of leaving when he relents and invites her back to his flat. Later, in bed, Lauren’s disappointed when Dean insists they’re too young to settle down but she agrees to a drink later in the week. Linda overhears Mick telling Lee about when they got together, and giving him advice about Whitney. When Dean comes in, Linda tells him to stay away from her.
