|
Steve starts searching for Della, unable to work at the hairdressers without her. Nigel starts looking at local churches to marry Debbie in. Meena meets Sanjay round the back of the café and gives him a stern talking to. Gita heads to the temple alone, and leaves Sharmilla in the care of Sanjay. Tricky Dicky informs Sanjay of a local warehouse fire which has left the owner needing to offload a large amount of clothing stock and advises he gets his hands on it immediately. He takes his advise and checks the stock, but is convinced it will not sell. Mark returns from his trip away and bumps into Diane - they catch-up. Ricky is furious with Phil for not saying anything about him and Frank torching the car lot. Phil tells him that Frank would have burnt it down himself anyway, even if he had not gotten involved. Meena waits outside the temple for Gita and upon bumping into her takes her to a local park so that they can resolve the mess they are in. Binnie shows up on the Square to apologise to Sharon over recent events, and then asks her to tell Della that she is looking for her. Diane heads back to France, leaving Pat deflated. Nigel manages to get Ian to work with him on his loan repayment scheme. Meena slips up by making a remark about the squalid conditions Sanjay is living in after returning to the flat with Gita, reversing much of the progress they had made. Realising that she has caused too much damage, Meena decides it is for the best best for all of them if she moves to Manchester to start again. Gita agrees to her suggestion and watches her as she gets into a car and leaves. |
