With a week to go before the comet hits Earth the Operation Saviour missile is launched to knock it off course whilst in Slough Layla gets a message from Ariel offering Frankie's safe return if she will go back with him. Layla and Jamie decide to call his bluff, leading to a stand-off in a car park where they are triumphant. Celine quits the church for Jude, who also leaves when he is told that the search for a Messiah was purely a ruse to give Catholics false hope, but for them romance would seem to be doomed. In her prison cell Rhonda hears that Operation Saviour has been a success and, along with the rest of the world, celebrates. But have they all been lied to?
