|
Phil's made Sharon breakfast and wants to treat her to a posh dinner. Sharon's fed up of not being supported or listened to, reminding Phil that she doesn't want fancy and has already chosen him and Walford. Kim wants to be involved in running The Albert and she and Sharon clash over the cocktail menu. When Phil urges Sharon to puts up a fight, Sharon suggests a cocktail competition to decide the menu. Phil rounds up Jay and Lola and plies them with cash to buy Sharon's cocktails. Sharon's grateful but then Denise orders five of Kim's cocktails. Sharon protests and Kim points out she cheated in the first place. Sharon's downcast that Kim's won and Phil gives her a pep talk, declaring that she's proven he should have more faith in her and now she should do the same. Galvanised, Sharon proposes that she runs the downstairs bar and Kim runs the upstairs for a week – whoever takes the most business will manage The Albert. Jane calls round to the Butchers' to give Cindy her make up bag. Liam reveals that Cindy told him to say she was staying with him but he's got no idea where she is and doesn't have her new phone number. But later, after an innocent comment from Carol, Jane realises that Liam's lying – she knows he's heard from Cindy. Jane wants to tell Cindy how much they love her and want her to come home. Liam declares that Cindy's staying with a friend in Devon and doesn't want to talk to the Beales ever again. In the café, Masood's confronted by Shirley - he's shocked to realise that Shabnam told Dean their baby died. At home, he contemplates the paper bearing the foster home address. Tamwar reports that a market pitch has become free but Masood's too preoccupied to sort out the paperwork and rants about Shabnam's cruelty. Tamwar thinks that Shabnam's trying to move forward. Shabnam announces that the wedding's been booked for just after Ramadan. Masood agrees to make lunch to discuss wedding plans but can barely suppress his rage as Shabnam, Kush, Stacey and Martin eat and chat. Martin agrees to be best man. After several pointed comments about 'the past' from Masood, Tamwar orders him to stop interfering with Shabnam's life and sort out his own - starting with the Masala Masood stall. Masood eventually gathers the paperwork but can't stop talking about Roya. Tamwar warns Masood that he'll definitely lose Shabnam if he pursues this. Paul's desperate not to have to work at the funeral parlour and enquires about a job in Blades. The salon's quiet and Dean has no trainee positions available. Later, Phil drags Lola to The Albert and Dean's irked to return to find that Lola's left the salon without asking. On discovering her tipsy on cocktails in The Albert, Dean fires Lola and hires Paul. |
