Summary[]

DS Quick goes round to the Beales', making enquiries to the youngsters about the crime of the burglary in the surgery and Ethel's. Lou soon puts him right. Wicksy asks Naima to think about getting a flat with him. Michelle and Lofty go to visit Lofty's auntie. Lou and Doctor Legg reminisce about the old days in the surgery. Tessa tries to persuade Kelvin that she has some part in The Banned. Sue finds out that she's not pregnant and tells Mehmet.

Lofty takes Michelle to visit his auntie, Irene Holloway.

Kelvin tells Hannah he realises that DS Quick was doing his job and wants them to forget about the previous day's events. Hannah has other ideas though, refusing to let go of the fact he made Cassie cry.

DS Quick visits Arthur and Lou and asks them if Mark had anything to do with the burglary. Arthur and Lou insist he did not.

Ali's cab breaks down so Mehmet rescues him.

Den digs at Naima for selling alcohol, telling her that he does not interfere with her livelihood, so she should not interfere with his. Simon suggests to Naima that they become flatmates, though she is against the idea.

Cassie picks up on how well Hannah and Tony have been getting on, and says she finds it weird.

Michelle is nervous to meet Lofty's auntie, fearful she will not like her.

Still unaware that Pauline is pranking the pair of them, Pete tells Arthur to put his foot down and stop Pauline from attending her creative expression classes, as he disagrees with her painting naked men.

Lou takes an old photo of her, Doctor Legg, his wife Judith and Ethel to him at the surgery. They reminisce about their lives during the Second World War together.

Lofty and Michelle talk with Irene, and while Lofty is getting them tea, Irene insists that she puts £200 towards their wedding reception. Lofty and Michelle are grateful for Irene.

Hannah goes to the pub to meet Tony. Whilst she is waiting for him, Angie keeps her company. Hannah tells Angie she wants Tony to be himself again and stop showing his best side to her all the time.

Den tells DS Quick that Naima's off-licence will cause drunken fights, so he should do something about it.

Kelvin ends his relationship with Tessa but refuses to tell her why.

Sue receives a call from her doctor. In the launderette, Mary reassures Sue that she knows what she is doing with Mehmet and will not allow herself to get overly involved in his love life. Sue appears dispirited and walks off.

Mary visits Doctor Legg and tells him that Dot is looking extremely unwell, and has requested more of her usual medication. Doctor Legg prescribes Dot more medication, as Mary suggests to him that he gets someone else in to help him with the workload.
