Sharon and Simon prepare for another meeting with the brewery. Shireen remains upset over Jabbar. Sufia tells Shireen that she and Ashraf have decided it would be best if they all moved to Bristol. Shireen visits Diane, who devises a plan. Charlie tries to convince Dot to be checked over by Doctor Legg. Dot tells Charlie she wants him to disappear so he says he will once she has seen Doctor Legg. At the interview, Sharon and Simon are told they stand a better chance with the brewery if they are married and have the business under both their names. Sharon tells the interviewers that her and Simon are marrying in the autumn. Dot almost visits Doctor Legg but decides against it when she gets to the surgery. Shireen secretly meets Jabbar at the allotments and tells him about her news. Jabbar promises her distance will not affect their love for each other. Diane invites another homeless woman, Ruth, into the B&B. Charlie leaves Dot's house and Nick offers to cook a shepherd's pie for them both. Dot goes to lie down. Once Nick is alone he pulls out some tablets from his bag. Simon tells Sharon they will marry when he is good and ready. Nick makes a candlelit dinner for him and Dot. He tells her he may not be staying around much longer. Dot tells Nick she is going to prove Charlie and Ethel wrong about their suspicions, as she prepares to tuck in to the poisoned meal. |
