Zainab claims she didn’t tell Masood about Syed, because she was terrified it would wreck his relationship with Syed. Masood’s adamant, he’d never have let Syed go through with the wedding, for Amira’s sake. Zainab implores Masood not let it pull them apart. Masood agrees, on the understanding that they make decisions together in future. However, when Tamwar announces he’s not going to university, Zainab explodes and Masood realises she’ll never change. Zainab asks Masood to forgive her, as she has him. When she mentions stealing the post, Masood can’t believe she still doubts him. Masood packs Zainab’s bags and throws her out.

Pat and Peggy bicker about Harvey until Dot persuades them friendship is more important. Later, Harvey apologises to Pat, telling her he would have chosen her – then says the same to Peggy. Together, Pat and Peggy insist finishing with Harvey was the right thing to do, but when alone, both women are thrilled to receive his texts. Fat Boy and Leon stake out Number 27 and solve the mystery of the ‘Blue Masquerader’– it’s Peter. Billy borrows money from Dot for the washing machines, but insists he doesn’t need any more charity.
