Episode 10111 (7th September 2020)

## Plot

Tim and Sally are still at loggerheads. He has spent the night on the sofa, and she has cancelled the wedding reception. Oliver's new doctor is happy with how he is doing, and his anti-seizure medication seems to be working. Toyah is nervous as Imran has an assessment with social services today. Cathy, Asha and Aadi overhear Dev on the phone to an estate agent, trying to sell the kebab shop. Daniel confides in Adam how he's worried about Nicky. Adam points out she's a prostitute and she can look after herself. Prompted by a phoned reminder from Aaron, Shona apologises to David for her behaviour. They make arrangements for her to spend the day with him in the salon. Mary is concerned to hear about the kebab shop sale and what it means for Dev. Tim tells Geoff he can't find any photos of him as a baby with Tessa. Geoff spins out a reason and begs him not to turn against him. Sally tells Faye she wants to get a book for Yasmeen so she can get the keys to No.6. Annoyed by Bernie, Shona deliberately tips a drink over her as she's having her hair done. She storms out of the salon. David has to keep his frustrations in check. Sally finds Geoff's laptop and puts it in her bag. He enters the house and she has to hide in the kitchen. Imran tells Toyah that his assessment didn't go as well as he'd hoped as social services had questions about Rana's parents trying to forcibly take her to Pakistan. He worries his reaction to them may have scuppered their chances. Sally tries to sneak out of the house but Geoff finds her. Dev arrives home to find Corey with Asha. He throws him out and rows with his daughter. He demands she hands over her phone. David leaves Shona with Lily while he nips out to get the little girl an ice cream. Geoff demands to see inside Sally's bag before he lets her out of the house. Nina comes to see Asha. She tells her friend that Corey isn't good for her. Chesney calls demanding to know from Dev if his job is safe. Overhearing them, Asha realises her schooling is causing the job losses and feels guilty. David returns and finds that Lily is missing, having sneaked out during a game of hide and seek with Shona. Sally has to show Geoff a different book she took. He demands it back. He threatens her if she continues to come between him and his son.
