On again? Sunday night TOWIE's episode looked to be one of a reunion for Megan McKenna and Pete Wicks as they kissed to the fireworks on his birthday night

Opening the episode discussing Megan and Pete's relationship over brunch, the boys asked what she would be getting him for his birthday. 

'We're not actually together so I don't think she's bought me any presents,' Pete admitted, adding that the only thing he was expecting was insults. 

Meanwhile Megan appeared to have softened, after her estranged beau had her initials tattooed on his hand.  

Or off again? The next morning things took a turn for the worse after a spat turned ugly 

'I had no idea that he would get my initial tattooed on my hand. I love that, I can't believe it- that's the sweetest thing anyone's ever done, she gushed during an autumnal walk with the girls.

And in a move that would surely surprise Pete, she added: 'I've got him a memory book for his birthday to remember what a good girlfriend I am. It's not a Rolex but he doesn't deserve that just yet!' she added.

And as the group gathered for Pete's al fresco birthday on Fireworks night, complete with toffee apples and presents, Megan took a moment to speak to her former beau. 

'I can't believe he got my initial tattoooed!' Megan opened the episode gushing about Pete's new tattoo

'I know we're not together but you're still my best friend,' Megan told Pete

'I can't believe you've done all this for me, Pete exclaimed.

'I know we're not together but you're still my best friend,' Megan replied.

And opening her card and memory book entitled 'Pete the pirate and mental Meg', Pete started getting teary, saying of a snap showing Megan and the dogs: 'That's all I want, you know that'. 

'If it goes how I want it to we're gonna need a few more books babe,' he continued, wiping a tear. 

'That's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me, this has been the best birthday I've ever had'.

Birthday lunch with the parents: Things turned the next morning as Megan sat at the birthday lunch they had organised for Pete, waiting for him to arrive

'Last night was amazing but we had another row because of the modelling job', Pete gathered with the boys at golf discussing their latest dilemna

Blushing Megan replied, 'You can give me a kiss,' and the duo locked lips as fireworks went up in the background.

But things turned the next morning as Megan sat at the birthday lunch they had organised for Pete, waiting for him to arrive. 

Speaking  to her parents about a recent underwear campaign Pete did which saw him posing alongside scantily-clad models, she said: 'I woke up this morning and was in such a good mood, then I saw a picture of Pete modelling and it was far from PG. 

'It was more than raunchy and we were together at the time- it was so disrespectful and I would never have done that to him. Once again he hasn't told me the full extent of whats going on.

Meanwhile Pete gathered with the boys at golf, admitting: Last night was amazing but we had another row because of the modelling job. To be fair if it was the other way around I wouldn't want her doing it.'

'I know you love me but if this isn't enough that I can't do any more', Pete said as Megan's dad looked on

'But actors do that and much more!' Tommy interjected.

'It's put another spanner in the works, I just don't know.' Pete responded, downcast.

But James Lock was less sympathetic, accusing him of letting her rule his mood. 

'How much is she worth to you? Are you willing to sacrifice everything for her?' he questioned.

Back at lunch Megan's mum soothed: 'If he wants you back he'll be in it for the long haul.'

As they discussed the relationship, Pete joined the table, casting an awkward silence. 

'I'm bored of listening to the same s**t, be truthful and then you wouldn't have to keep grovelling,' Megan responded

'We had a barney but I know you planned this for me and I didn't want to let you down.

'I know you love me but if this isn't enough that I can't do any more'.

Still seething, Megan replied: 'You lied about the pictures!'

'I didn't lie I sent you the pictures', he hit back.

'You should've sent me all the pictures you were disrespecting me! I would never do a campaign like that- some  girl is leaning on you and you're looking down at her t*ts!' Megan hit back.

'I'll be here regardless of good or bad days, you told me you loved me and now we've had one bad day and its all f***ng up,' Pete responded.

'I'm bored of listening to the same s**t, be truthful and then you wouldn't have to keep grovelling,' Megan responded.

And ignoring the lunch organised for him, Pete got up, thanking Megan's parents before storming off, leaving her crying on her mother's shoulder.

More turmoil: Meanwhile Amber Dowding revealed Chris Clark had blocked her on Twitter following their bitter split

Meanwhile Amber Dowding revealed Chris Clark had blocked her on Twitter following their bitter split. 

And speaking to the boys, Chris revealed the reason behind the move. 

'Amber keeps partying and I feel disrespected- I thought perhaps we could get back together in the future', he admitted. 

But Chloe didn't hold back, responding: 'You're over here breaking your heart over this and I don' t think she feels the same'.

And things came to a head for the twosome when the ran into each other as Chloe walked her dog.  

'You're telling the girls us breaking up is a weight off your shoulder but then you're telling me you still have feelings, it's not fair!' Chris raged, also storming off.

And things weren't much better between Chloe Lewis and new flame Ben Shenel.

As the rest of the crew enjoyed the fireworks, Ben confronted Chloe over a video she posted on social media getting close to a male pal during a night out. 

'Are you happy with the way things are?' he questioned. 'I've noticed things on social media and you get sensitive when people mention your past relationships which makes it hard for me to let my guard down. I know you've had a bad relationship but do you want to progress?'

Getting defensive Chloe responded: 'I'm over my past but I told you I'm not ready for anything serious, I'm emotionally unavailable.'

Leaving things on a bad note Chloe later complained to the girls, who told her not to discount the latest addition to TOWIE. 

Analysing the situation Georgia soothed, 'He's probably insecure about your past relationship and you not wanting anything serious.'

And Danni remained positive, adding: 'He ticks all the boxes, he's been aggy but he's got balls -you can't mug him off so don't discount him just yet.'

Disappointed: Ben was upset that Chloe wasn't ready for more
