|
Abi's thrilled to have her dad home on her birthday, but Tanya dashes from the room. Max presents Abi with a silver necklace. She tells him that Uncle Jack has been looking after them. Max thanks Jack and shakes his hand. Frantic after finding her mum's not been taking her tablets, Stacey enlists Bradley's help to her track her down. They find Jean sat quivering and alone at Fargo's, waiting for Ted to turn up. Denise's first day as a taxi driver doesn't start well, as her first fare is Lucas. She's furious when he declares that he's back in her life. Zainab orders him out of the cab, and the pair bond over a cake in the café. Bianca, Ricky, Pat and the kids descend on Fargo's for Morgan's birthday. The kids play up, and Jean shouts at Tiffany for staring, sparking Bianca's temper. Bianca's attempts to avoid paying the bill come to nothing. Zainab decides to face up to her past and cook a family meal. Shabnam is happily shocked to find her mum noisily cooking in the closed kitchen. Masood is delighted to see the meal on the table. Stacey manages to calm Jean's nerves and she agrees to a lift home. Stacey gives Bianca a piece of her mind on the way out - she could have her any time. Stacey awkwardly thanks Bradley, as he means the world to Jean. Dot finds Clare putting flowers on her mum's grave. Dot tries to comfort her but Clare remarks that she can look after herself. Later, she tells Dot not to wait up and walks off. Max questions Tanya on why she sent him a text to return, as she obviously doesn't want him there. She tells him she didn't. It clicks that it must have been Abi. Max leaves. Abi's upset, and Tanya's in turmoil. |
