Leela's excitement soon turns to disappointment, as moments before she heads off, she receives a devastated text from Joel, cancelling their date.
Down on her luck, Leela bumps into Maxine while out and about and brings up how Joel stood her up.
This prompts Maxine to admit that it was her fault that Joel ditched her as she had persuaded him to go for a drink with Sam, who was struggling.
Later on, Joel helps Leela train in preparation for her reapplying for the fire service. As the pair work up a sweat, she tells Joel that he should apply.
However, their training session in the park seems a step too far for Joel as he falters again and struggles momentarily, before brushing it off and carrying on.
Will Joel push himself to his limit? Will his condition get worse?
