Yusef starts to panic when his plan threatens to spiral out of control. Elsewhere, Ben's friendship with Duncan takes a startling turn, and Lauren promises to be there for Tanya.

Anxious when no-one comes home, Yusef tells Tamwar and Afia Zainab was agitated. Angry, Syed bangs on the door of the Masoods鈥�; there鈥檚 no reply and Kamil appears at the window. Finding Zainab unconscious, Syed calls an ambulance; Yusef insists Tamwar shouldn鈥檛 call Masood. At the hospital, a doctor explains Zainab鈥檚 going to be drowsy but will be fine. Yusef insists none of them knew she was taking sedatives. The family are sure Zainab made a mistake, but Yusef intimates it was a suicide attempt. Feeling guilty, Syed and Tamwar talk about Syed鈥檚 overdose. Masood and Denise rush to hospital. Yusef deflects Leonard Graham, when Masood asks for his help. The family send Masood away claiming Zainab has food poisoning. Syed thinks Zainab鈥檚 behaviour doesn鈥檛 make sense and tells Yusef he鈥檚 going to find out the truth.

Lauren and Tanya cover, claiming Tanya didn鈥檛 want Lauren to tell Cora Vanessa had had a go at her. Abi brings Jay home, Tanya鈥檚 angry and Abi鈥檚 sulky when Lauren backs Tanya up. On the way to the Vic, Rainie and Tanya see Zainab in an ambulance and offer to take Kamil. Tanya鈥檚 uncomfortable when Cora and Rainie speculate that Zainab might be 鈥榠ll鈥�. Lauren confiscates Abi鈥檚 hair straighteners and makeup; she can have one piece back every day she behaves. Arriving home, Tanya鈥檚 surprised to find Abi dusting. Abi apologises. Tanya admits to Lauren the cancer鈥檚 spread. She鈥檚 not having a hysterectomy and starts chemo-radio therapy in a week. Lauren hugs Tanya and assures her they鈥檙e going to fight this and win.

To stop Ben spending time with Christian, Phil tells him he can train with Harry and spar with Duncan. After training, Ben kisses Duncan on the cheek. He鈥檚 surprised but happy when Duncan turns and kisses him gently on the lips.
