Rezaul arrives and enters First Til Last - Naima is displeased to see him. Rezaul tells Naima they are going to need to arrange when and how much he will be paid. Naima walks off, angry. Pauline finds Arthur watching children's TV and tells him he has to leave the house, even if it is only for an hour. Arthur tells Pauline the only reason he would leave the house is to get away from her! Simon sees Naima in the café and she tells him about Rezaul. Simon agrees with Rezaul hanging around whilst there is a man attacking ladies in Walford so she angrily walks away from him. Den tells Pete what his plan is for Christmas Day, but Pete disagrees with Den's devious way of divorcing Angie. Simon goes to check in on Naima in the shop but Rezaul does not like this, and makes remarks about Simon fancying Naima. Naima has enough of Rezaul and tells him she is phoning both their fathers to get him to get rid of him. Kathy makes a throwaway remark to Pete about them having two Christmas dinners which gives Pete an idea. Sue tries giving Annie a Christmas present but Mary seems disinterested and refuses to tell Sue what is wrong. She tells Ali that Mary will lose Annie to social services if she is not careful. Barry tries to get Colin to go to a club with him but Colin says he cannot go due to work commitments. Barry makes Colin confess to not wanting him at his flat. Colin then tells Barry he will take him out for a meal after he has finished working on his designs to make up for not going out. |
