Masood vows to rectify his family's financial crisis - will he succeed, or will Zainab need to take matters into her own hands? Alfie moots the idea of a christening for Tommy.
Masood鈥檚 angry when he discovers a cheque from Yusef for 拢10,000, and insists that he鈥檒l get the money somehow. Syed urges Zainab to give Masood a chance. Against her better judgement, Zainab rips up the cheque. Masood convinces Jane to place bets for him at the Bookies, and is delighted when they win 拢8000; nearly enough to cover their debt. Convinced he can win the rest of the money, Masood鈥檚 tempted back into the Bookies. Later, he arrives home to an expectant Zainab, utterly devastated; he鈥檚 lost it all.
Alfie and Mo plan to spend the pub quiz winnings on a Christening for Tommy. Kat鈥檚 angry when she discovers the plan, and thinks the name 鈥楾ommy鈥� has only ever brought them bad luck. Kat tells Alfie he can have the Christening, but she鈥檚 picking a new name for Tommy. She changes her mind when Jack visits her, wanting to change the name on the baby鈥檚 headstone from 鈥楾ommy鈥� to 鈥楯ames鈥�. She agrees with Alfie; Tommy did find his way home after all.
Grace arrives back on the square. Fat Boy鈥檚 annoyed when Mercy gushes to her about Seb, but later comforts a distraught Mercy when Seb breaks up with her. Preoccupied with Mercy, Fat Boy doesn鈥檛 notice an officer from Immigration services until it鈥檚 too late. The officer interviews Mercy; her visa鈥檚 expired and she has to return to Nigeria.
Jack confesses to Vanessa that he wants to change the name on James鈥� headstone, but can鈥檛 bring himself to make the call. Sympathising, Vanessa does it for him. Jack鈥檚 relieved when Kat agrees to change the name on the headstone.
