## Plot

**Part One:** Worried about her gran, Alya goes to check on her but can't get into No.6 as Yasmeen has put the chain on the door. When her calls go unanswered, Alya looks through the window and sees Yasmeen sprawled on the floor. Jenny puts Daisy in her place for meddling with her love life. Daisy is unremorseful, maintaining that Johnny doesn't love her as much as she loves him. Nina tells Aadi that it's too soon for her to go along to family occasions. Aadi doesn't think she's worthy of the pedestal Asha puts her on. Alya gets into No.6 through the back door and calls an ambulance. Leanne shares Sam's accusations about Simon with Toyah, but doesn't tell her about the drug trafficking. On Ed's orders, Paul apologises to Daniel for messing up his cupboards. Daniel is forgiving. Jenny phones Johnny and tells him it's time to choose between the living and the dead. Mary joins Dev, Asha and Aadi at the bistro for Dev's birthday meal. Asha is thrilled when Nina arrives as well. Dev tells her she's part of the family now. Toyah urges Leanne to act before Simon's behaviour escalates. Leanne thinks she's accusing her of being a bad parent and throws her out.

**Part Two:** Tim is convinced he's caused Yasmeen to have a heart attack by heaping pressure on her. Roy is unimpressed to find the cafe shut when he returns from meeting his friend. He advises Nina to be honest with Asha when she admits that the girl is rushing her. Nina goes to cool things with Asha but is taken aback when Asha tells her she loves her and isn't denying her feelings any more. Listening to Paul's living woes, Daniel suggests he move into Adam's old room in the shop flat. Paul agrees. Tim considers signing Geoff's share of Speed Daal over to Elaine instead of Yasmeen if the latter meant what she said earlier. Nina decides that she does care about Asha and needs to get over her commitment issues. Johnny finally takes his MS pills, telling Aidan he's sorry. As Alya looks at her fragile gran in her hospital bed, she fights back tears, worried she'll never recover from her ordeal with Geoff.
