Mini is under threat. When Grace brings Franky into the Charity Fashion Show, Mini sacks them both and re-imagines the show in her own image to cement her power. Despite appearances, her relationship is also rocky; Nick can't wait forever for sex. As Mini struggles to maintain control, Liv acts out in the worst way possible: giving Nick what Mini failed to. Mini discovers but pretends it hasn't happened. Mini loses her virginity at the wrong time, with the wrong person, and for all the wrong reasons.

Angry at Alo for declaring his love for her and at her mother Shelley for moving her tubby, sex-mad boyfriend Eric into the house, Mini also discovers that she is pregnant and contacts her high-flying but absent father Gregory, staying in his riverside apartment and contemplating going to Australia with him although people tell her he'll let her down. Her college friends gate-crash Gregory's party and Alo gets thrown out after accusing Gregory's assistant Ryan of having sex with Mini. She confides her situation in Franky, who advises her to tell Gregory but, never one for responsibility, he leaves for Australia without her, leaving her a cheque for 500 pounds. Alo also rejects her, calling her too callous to be capable of love, but unexpected consolation comes from Eric, who reconciles her with Shelley, after which Franky takes her to an ultrasound clinic, where she weeps tears of joy on seeing her unborn baby.

Mini collapses and is rushed to hospital. Both Nick and Matty show up and start fighting, but Franky refuses to call the police to have Matty arrested. With Alo making it clear he does not want a baby and Shelley trying to persuade her to give the child up for adoption a pressurised Mini runs off, staying the night at a squat with Franky, who tries to talk her into moving to Oxford. However, Eric persuades her to go home where, after a heart-to-heart, Shelley accepts that she should keep her baby. Franky, who has overheard, is angry and tearful and rushes out of the house. Later, Mini and Alo are kissing at Alo's farm when she sees blood trickling down her leg.
