On the market Buster is preparing for a meeting with the social worker and wants to make sure he makes a good impression. In the Minute Mart, Shabnam is still preoccupied with the application as Fiona enters. She starts to question her and Fiona offers Shabnam a proper meeting where they can discuss everything in detail. Dean has overheard Shabnam’s conversation and tells her she has no chance of getting Jade back. She heads to Stacey’s flat where Martin (wearing a Halloween mask) frightens her. He mistook her for Stacey and apologises. Shabnam tells Martin that she is worried about the application.
