Syed starts to unravel, and Denise is horrified to discover Chelsea's secret.

Syed starts to unravel when confronted by Masood - will he agree to his parent's demands? Denise is horrified to discover Chelsea's secret and Zsa Zsa ropes Leon into her scheme.

Syed and Amira move into their flat.  Alone there with Syed, a blissful Christian looks forward to life together once the truth is out. Ahead of the housewarming party, Masood reminds an anxious Zainab that they’re not to assist Syed in covering up the truth to Amira. 

Incensed to find Christian helping at the flat, a frosty Masood eyeballs him.  Christian returns his money.  Syed is mortified to overhear his parents discuss him and Christian. 

Devastated on hearing that he’s broken his parents’ hearts, Syed protests to have tried to fight his feelings. Syed realises that Zainab has lied about having already known of his relationship with Christian. Syed protests that he loves someone else, but Masood sternly stipulates that Syed uphold his responsibilities and stop his ‘foolishness’.  

Masood and Zainab attempt to throw themselves into the party, but it’s a tense affair, particularly when Qadim arrives.  Syed later tells an incredulous Christian that he can’t sacrifice his family and ends it.  Christian sits alone in Syed and Amira’s flat. His grief turns to anger and he looks at the wall-papered wall of the bedroom.  

Ahead of showing people their new home Syed brings Amira to the flat.  Amira breaks down, confessing she’s not pregnant. Asking Syed to prove he still loves her, Amira leads him to the bedroom. There, she’s stunned to see scrawled on the wall: ‘Syed loves Christian’.

Chelsea and Amira lament their respective predicaments.  Having spotted a tearful Chelsea being comforted by Amira, and later refusing alcohol; Denise’s suspicions that Chelsea’s pregnant are aroused.  

Realising that Ben’s having a tough time at school, Zsa Zsa takes him under her wing.  

Fatboy tries to charm Whitney by offering to sell her t-shirts, but panics when he ends up with £300 worth of stock.
