As the obvious truth stares Zainab and Masood in the face, Zainab refuses to acknowledge it. Tamwar escapes the house, turning to Fatboy for advice.

After a sleepless night, Masood repeats that nothing happened with Ayesha but can鈥檛 deny considering it. Zainab sets into cleaning mode, determined to de-clutter their lives. Masood helps. As they clean, Zainab suggests a role playing game; they laugh as they impersonate each other but the game turns sour as deep seated insecurities are revealed. They unearth old family photographs and Zainab realises all four children have never been together. Zainab finds a tie of Yusef鈥檚; Masood apologises for letting him hurt her. Later, with the house organised, Zainab鈥檚 determined for a fresh start. They realise they鈥檝e unconsciously divided everything up. Masood thinks Zainab doesn鈥檛 take any notice of him or let him do things his own way; he wanted to marry her to make everything how it once was 鈥� before Yusef and Jane 鈥� but is convinced Zainab doesn鈥檛 love him. Although Zainab pleads she forgives him for keeping Ayesha鈥檚 crush a secret and promises to change, Masood sadly declares there won鈥檛 be a wedding.

Concerned by Zainab鈥檚 frenzied cleaning, AJ turns to Denise. She鈥檚 frustrated to later find him drinking his troubles away in the Vic with Kat and Roxy. She interrogates him, wondering why he鈥檚 drunk so early in the day, but gives up when he won鈥檛 be serious. AJ worries to Alfie about Masood and Zainab, who tries to reassure him that all couples row. AJ passes out drunk in the Vic. Kat, Bianca and Roxy bring him home.

Tamwar鈥檚 worried about his parents鈥� marriage and unenthusiastic when Tyler and Whitney announce their engagement and plan an impromptu party. Dot sympathises with Tamwar and draws on her own marriage experience - there isn鈥檛 much he can do except have hope. Tamwar heads home with Kamil and listens on the stairs as Zainab and Masood argue.
