Monday 15 October
It’s the day of Syed and Christian’s stag party at The Vic, but when Syed spots that Danny has turned up for the celebration, he isn’t happy and slips out of the pub. Soon afterwards, Danny follows Syed to the Argee Bhajee and suggests that he shouldn’t marry Christian – he’d have a better life with him instead! Syed attempts to reject Danny’s advances and makes it clear that he just wants a return on his investment, but Danny drops the bombshell that the investment has fallen through and Syed’s money has been lost.
As Danny continues his pursuit of Syed by trying to kiss him again, Masood walks into the restaurant. Syed tries to make an excuse by insisting that Danny is only there on business, but Masood reveals that he spotted their kiss the night before. A mischievous Danny claims that Syed obviously wanted to be caught, which prompts Syed to lose his temper and punch Danny. After Danny leaves, Masood questions whether the wedding should go ahead following Syed’s betrayal – but Syed defiantly vows that he won’t be stopped from marrying Christian.
Back at the pub, Zainab makes a heartfelt apology to Christian for all of the bad things she said about him in the past. When Masood and Syed arrive back, Zainab also apologises to her son for her past behaviour. However, when Zainab hands Syed a picture of the family which includes Christian, his guilt finally starts to overwhelm him. At the end of the night, an emotional Syed finally snaps and tells Christian that he can’t marry him… (Digital Spy)
Tuesday 16 October
It’s the morning after the stag party, and Syed tries sneaking out of the flat as he wants to run away from everything. When Christian stops Syed from leaving and urges him to be honest, he confesses the full story behind his financial woes – but fails to mention the kiss with Danny. Soon afterwards, Masood arrives just as Christian is insisting that the recent problems are not worth cancelling the wedding for. Assuming Christian is talking about Danny, Masood agrees that they shouldn’t call off the ceremony over a silly kiss.
Horrified that his secret is out, Syed gets Masood to leave before explaining himself to Christian. It turns out that Christian is willing to forgive Syed for the betrayal, but Syed is still unsure about whether the wedding should happen, as he doesn’t even know who he is or what he wants. Christian assures Syed that they should be together and says that he’ll be waiting for him at the Argee Bhajee, but Syed should only come if he truly loves him.
Christian is optimistic that Syed will soon join him for the service at the restaurant, and even asks Roxy if he can borrow some money as he wants to help fix the financial mess. As time ticks by, it seems that Syed has decided not to come – so Christian prepares to announce that the wedding is off. However, Syed arrives just in time and it’s a heartwarming moment as the wedding goes ahead as planned.
Later, Masood is making a speech following the ceremony when four bailiffs suddenly burst into the restaurant. One of the men announces that the mortgage is four months in arrears and the Masoods owe £12,000, so they’re cutting off the electric. Syed is left horrified as Zainab turns to Tamwar and demands to know what is going on… (Digital Spy)
Thursday 18 October
A furious Zainab accuses Tamwar of messing up the business after hearing what the bailiffs have to say. Tamwar has no idea how things have gone so wrong, but when the bailiffs explain that they have sent written warnings, he remembers that Syed insisted on taking care of the letters. He quickly realises that this desperate situation is Syed’s fault, but keeps quiet about his brother’s betrayal.
Unable to keep a lid on her temper, Zainab launches herself at Tamwar, but AJ tries to calm things by pulling her away. Knowing that Syed is to blame, Christian hopes that he’ll just be honest with everyone – but he is shocked when he realises that Syed has gone… (Digital Spy)
