Allie has hopes of winning the National Hairdressing Championships, and also wants to open a second Henshall Ferraday salon, but Gavin has other ideas... he wants a baby.

Allie finds the perfect place to have the second salon, a building directly across the street from their existing one. Allie talks Gavin into putting in a bid, but they're beaten by an unknown buyer paying £30,000 above the asking price. Allie and Gavin can't afford to go any higher and they let the mystery purchaser get the property.

A few days later Mia Bevan visits Henshall Ferraday for a hair cut, and she reveals she's the new owner of the property across the street, and she's opening a salon!

Finn Bevan, Mia's husband, shows up shortly after and lets on that he seems to know Allie from the past, but Allie says she doesn't remember him. Later on Allie is visited by Finn, and we find out that the two used to go out years ago. But not only did they go out... Allie was pregnant with his baby, and she reveals to him t

Blade Runner, Mia's salon, seems to be getting all of Henshall Ferraday's clients and Eugene discovers it's no accident. The salon's database has been accessed and that's how Blade Runner is getting their clients. Eugene tells Allie that it's an inside job, because only people who work for the salon can access it, but it could be anyone! Allie thinks it's Gavin who's given Blade Runner the info, as a way to get her to have a baby.

There's also a celebrity photo shoot up for grabs and Allie and Mia are fighting each other for it. Mia tries anything she can to try and get the contract, but she can't beat Allie's ideas that she's impressing the contractors with.

Finn manages to get secretly inolved with the celebrity photo shoot and secures the contract for Allie, also telling her that she just has to say and he'll divorce Mia. Allie is mad and doesn't accept his offer, storming off. Both are unaware that Mia has heard the whole conversation.

Allie agrees that she and Gavin should start trying for a baby. Mia and Allie are both hired to do hair and make up at a wedding, and Allie can no longer resist Finn's temptations.

Gavin discovers Ruby's secret. Shane's debts force him to resort to desperate measures, and the identity of the Henshall-Ferraday mole is revealed to everyone.

Gavin, Eugene and Tom attend a ""Secrets of Success"" seminar, Allie attends a hairdressing seminar which is gatecrashed by Mia, and Finn makes the decision to leave Mia.

It's the regional heat of the hairdressing competition, but Allie is missing. Finally, Allie must make a difficult decision... Finn or Gavin?
