5131: Xavier tries to help April

Xavier tries to talk Gina out of kicking April and Bianca out, but Gina is having none of it. Xavier blames John, declaring that he is the real problem here.

April thinks the way Xavier is standing up for her is cute and blames Bianca for the problems, sick of her sister just wreaking havoc and not caring about it. Liam isn't surprised when he hears what Bianca has done, but when he tells her, it only upsets Bianca and she rails on him.

John agrees to mend things with Xavier, but when Gina tells Xavier that John is sorry, it angers Xavier - isn't John man enough to say it himself? He can't handle the way his mum is acting - it's like she doesn't care about anyone but John. When Irene overhears Xavier searching for somewhere for Bianca and April to live, she offers her place.

Elsewhere, Ruby is preoccupied with thoughts of Liam, having to cover in front of Irene and Charlie. Over breakfast with Charlie, she turns the focus back on Angelo, but she can't hold Charlie off, and Ruby cracks, admitting to Charlie that she's in love with Liam.

Charlie confronts Liam about it, and Liam assures her that he didn't do anything, and Charlie accepts that. But neither know how to handle the situation. Ruby sees Liam later, and begs him to be friends - she can't handle not having him in her life. He eventually submits to her request, not wanting to disappoint her.

Meanwhile, Charlie is also worried that Angelo overworking himself at the restaurant - he seems so desperate to make the place a success he never leaves. Alf is also concerned about the hours he's working - telling him that he needs to delegate. But Angelo won't listen to anyone - he keeps going at it until he falls asleep in the storeroom.

Alf gets Charlie to take him home, but she's concerned - he's doing too much and he won't listen. She needs help with Ruby, but Angelo is in no state to assist her.
