Summary[]

On the day of Syed's wedding to Amira, Zainab is left reeling after Christian reveals the truth about her son's sexuality and their relationship. Zainab confronts Syed and Christian deliberates stopping the wedding. Meanwhile, Darren and Heather's secret is revealed at last.

Christian tries persuading Zainab that he and Syed are in love, but Zainab's in utter denial and refuses to believe it. She attacks Christian when he shouts out Syed is gay. She warns him to stay away from her and her family. Christian books a taxi to Heathrow Airport, but later changes his mind and instructs the driver to take him to the wedding venue.

Meanwhile, Zainab has taken Syed aside and questions him on what Christian said. Syed denies it, but it becomes apparent that it's true when he defends Christian's name when Zainab starts bad-mouthing him. He confides in his mother that he's gay.

Tamwar's popular with Afia and Zulekha who both fight for his attention. Afia offers to teach Tamwar how to kiss somebody, but she directs most of it as Tamwar acts as a very shy and inexperienced boy.

Zainab refuses to accept Syed's sexuality and forces him to go through with the wedding, claiming that in time he will learn to love Amira and this is just a phase.

Christian turns up at the ceremony mid-service, sending Syed into turmoil. But one look from Zainab confirms his fate, and he pronounces his vows to Amira. Christian is devastated.

Heather's on edge after thinking that somebody close heard her and Shirley discussing George's parentage in the toilets, and Libby is acting strangely off with Darren.

Minty manages to talk his way out of the reception with the excuse that the alarm has gone off at the garage. But later on, he knocks on the door of the bottom empty flat of 89C George Street where Sam answers the door and he delivers her essentials.

As the wedding couple set off for their honeymoon, Syed is secretly distraught.

An argument sparks between Darren and Libby in the reception, where an explosive Libby announces that she knows Darren is George's father. Both Darren and Heather are lost for words.
