Episode 10109 (2nd September 2020)

## Plot

Alya fumes when she finds a delivery of wines and spirits waiting for her at Speed Daal. Ryan receives a mysterious phone call. David is thrilled when Shona agrees to join him for a walk. Asha volunteers to cover a shift at the kebab shop for a stressed out Dev. Tim and Sally arrive home from Gina's. Geoff's hopeful that his son is back on his side and drags him over to No.6 supposedly to fix his vacuum cleaner, but really to drip poison in his ear. Daniel rings Nicky inviting her over for a drink, offering to stay away if afterwards she still wants him to. Tim has little time for Geoff's complaints about how badly everyone treats him and walks out when he makes a dig at Sally. Geoff makes another offer to buy Alya out of Speed Daal. Alya calls him deluded for thinking she'd give him her family's restaurant. Corey joins Asha at the kebab shop and asks if they can still be mates. Asha forgives him for recording the video of her and offers to be more than friends. Adam calls on Daniel with beer and finds him waiting for Nicky. He remains perplexed by Daniel and Nicky's "friendship". Shona offers to have sex with David and begins stripping in the middle of the street until Jenny tells her off. Mary's worried that Sean isn't eating right and brings a picnic over to the factory where he's working overtime. Alya is run off her feet at Speed Daal when the chef doesn't turn up for his shift. She discovers Geoff told him not to come in. Snapping from the pressure, Alya pushes a table over and throws all the takeaway customers out, including Asha and Corey. Tim and Geoff see the customers leave and find Alya in a foul mood inside. When Geoff makes a crack about the apple not falling far from the tree, Alya's incensed and points a broken bottle at him...
