Inevitably him and Jal end up getting together, and Chris' life begins to straighten up. He is performing the best at work, and with the support and affection from Jal, is genuinely happy for a change. However things lead to much chaos when Cassie decides to have a house-warming party there and Angie turns up. The two have sex in the bathroom, however Chris abruptly stops when he thinks of Jal.
