As Dr Al bids farewell to the Square, a familiar face returns. Becca has a cunning plan.

As Dr Al bids farewell to the Square, a familiar face returns. Becca has a cunning plan to get Stacey's stall back, and Tiff finds herself in danger. Is the game up for Syed?

It’s Tiffany's birthday and she's thrilled with her presents. Bianca is fuming as she's thrown away the cheque David sent her for the wedding and now Ricky has put the bins out for collection. Blaming Ricky for being so stupid (she never meant to throw it away, it was just a ‘gesture’), Bianca asks Tiffany to tell Ricky that he has to take her and Dotty to school. As Bianca leaves, Ricky asks the girls what time they are supposed to be leaving, only to be told by Tiff that Bianca's taking them to school today. Ricky heads off clueless.

The girls enjoy their morning, dressing up and playing with make-up but they are soon interrupted by a man at the door. Tiffany begs Dotty to answer it, bribing her with letting her try on her bridesmaid dress. Dotty's agrees and rushes to answer the door. It's Billie Jackson but neither of the girls know him, so Dotty tells him Bianca doesn't live there and shuts the door.

Dotty now wants her chance to try on the dress but Tiffany won't let her. Trouble ensues and Dotty manages to get the dress and runs out with Tiff in hot pursuit, as Billie watches on. Dotty slings Tiffany's stuff in one of the rubbish bins leaving Tiff with no option but to try and get them back. However, Dotty deliberately pushes Tiff so she falls in. Max sees Dotty and tells her to get to school. Dotty scarpers leaving Tiffany trapped in the bin.

Billie continues to sit in the Square, hoping to find his sister. He watches as the bin men take away the rubbish but he notes that the arguing little girls he saw before have disappeared. Something strikes him as wrong about the bin, and he rushes over. Meanwhile, Ricky goes into the cafe and as Bianca asks after Tiff going to school, it soon dawns on them that Tiff's tricked them and they rush home. On their way, Bianca sees her brother, Billie, arguing with the bin men. Sensing that someone is inside, Billie slams the emergency button. He and Bianca pull Tiffany out. Tiffany covered in rubbish, gets out and is proudly waving the cheque Bianca threw away!

Zainab is worried when she finds Amira sleeping on the sofa but Amira insists it’s because Syed kicks during the night. 

In the cafe, Chelsea tries to get to the bottom of what's wrong and Amira soon confides in her that she hasn't slept with Syed and she is still a virgin. Chelsea urges Amira to talk to Syed but Amira soon blurts out that she kissed another man and feeling guilty she runs off.

Meanwhile, Syed is annoyed with Zainab for trying to get him to see a Dr to help stop him kicking during the night. He gets angry as he tells his mum that she knows that's not the real reason Amira was sleeping downstairs. Syed implores that he can't live the rest of his life as a lie but Zainab hits back, asking Syed to think about his family and the shame it will bring on them. Neither of them hear Amira coming through the door. As Amira stands in the doorway, Zainab and Syed panic - how much did Amira hear?

Ronnie bumps into Jack and coolly asks him how his date with DCI Marsden was. Jack tries to explain that he was just doing some digging to see what she knows. Ronnie asks him what he'd think if she said she had killed her father but Jack doesn't answer. Its clear there's still chemistry between them but Ronnie points out that they only ever hurt each other and she can't go there again. She pushes Jack for an answer on her earlier question, to which he replies 'he'd be quite impressed'. He then turns the tables on Ronnie and asks how she'd feel if he told her he had killed Archie.

Jack later tells Max about their conversation, wondering what Ronnie meant by her earlier question. Max doesn’t think that Ronnie was serious about killing Archie but Jack is left wondering.

Roxy gets some bad news when Dr Al tells her he has handed in his notice after some complaints from his superiors about his conduct – specifically the incident when Roxy appeared at the practiced dressed up as a sexy nurse. He tells her that he's moving back to Cornwall and asks her to go with him but she declines. Upset and annoyed, she doesn't understand why he has to go so far. 

Meanwhile, Peggy is giving Roxy grief as the till is £50 down. Peggy implies that its probably Danny. Ronnie goes into the bar and points out that she took the money and left a note pinned up. Peggy sees this and feels foolish.

Stacey and Becca try their hardest to talk Mr Lister into getting Stacey’s stall back but he refuses, even making derogatory comments about Stacey’s mental health. Becca comes up with a plan. She manages to steal one of Janine’s suits from the launderette and smartly dresses up before heading off to see Mr Lister. When she arrives, she tells him that she is Becca’s older sister and that she works in the legal department of the council and that they have told her that he discriminated against Stacey on the basis of her mental health. Mr Lister is left thinking that he may be called before a disciplinary tribunal.
