Kat is excited that Alfie is back, but she is left shell-shocked after a surprise encounter. Carol makes an important life decision, and Tamwar delivers an ultimatum.

Carol tries to imagine what she鈥檒l look like without hair. She looks for David but he鈥檚 not in Tiffany and Whitney鈥檚 room. Dot鈥檚 brought Carol magazines for her chemo session and Liam鈥檚 lent her his MP3 player. Bianca asks if she鈥檚 feeling alright. Carol puts on a brave face, she鈥檚 just glad she鈥檚 finally able to do something. Carol鈥檚 surprised when David comes back with, amongst other things, water, lip balm and a lavender pillow for her. Carol allows David to drive her to the hospital and come as far as the waiting room. He reminds her about Clive Salisbury鈥檚 fourteenth birthday party鈥搒he looked after him, now it鈥檚 his turn to look after her. But Carol still won鈥檛 let him come into the treatment room. Carol鈥檚 horrified when David walks in while she鈥檚 having her chemo and wearing the cold cap. He insists she鈥檚 beautiful, strong and brave and she admits she鈥檚 terrified. David assures her they鈥檙e going to fight the cancer together. But when he鈥檚 alone, David makes a covert phone call. Back home, Carol鈥檚 disappointed when David goes out. He later calls Carol and tells her to look out the window. When she does, she sees him standing in the window of No.43. David explains he鈥檚 going to rent the place to give her some space. Terry arrives with flowers and tells Carol Danny and David are sorting out paperwork in the Vic. Carol rushes over to the Vic, still in her pyjamas, stops David signing the rental contract and asks him to marry her. Thrilled, he accepts her proposal and kisses her.

Alfie goes offline when Kat and Tommy try to video call him. Kat phones Spencer but thinks he鈥檚 lying when he claims he鈥檚 sent Alfie to somewhere with 鈥榃onga鈥� in the name. Terry later tells her that Wonga is an Aboriginal word. Kat鈥檚 thrilled when she gets a text from Alfie; he鈥檚 back and has booked a hotel for them for the night. Kat鈥檚 on the bus heading for the hotel when she sees a familiar face on the street below鈥揝tacey. Heading into a hairdressing salon, Stacey鈥檚 oblivious of Kat shouting her name as the bus pulls away...

Shabnam moves back to the Masoods鈥�. Masood overhears Tamwar telling Shabnam he鈥檚 leaving that night if Masood doesn鈥檛. Shabnam looks through the final demands and late payment letters and Masood confirms he doesn鈥檛 have the money to pay them. Shabnam鈥檚 called Masood鈥檚 manager who鈥檚 agreed to see him at eleven thirty and she鈥檚 even got him an outfit ready. Masood doesn鈥檛 hold out much hope but Shabnam insists he has to swallow his pride. Tamwar鈥檚 dismayed when he sees Masood going into the Vic. Shabnam鈥檚 thrilled when Masood reveals he鈥檚 got his job back but is on probation. Shabnam鈥檚 unsettled when she gets a text on her phone 鈥業sn鈥檛 it time we met up?鈥�. Shabnam gives tubs of curry to Bianca; she knows none of them will feel like cooking after Carol鈥檚 treatment and doesn鈥檛 want any bad feelings because of Masood. Realising who Kat is, Shabnam鈥檚 suddenly full of vitriol, accusing Alfie of having taken advantage of Masood and 鈥榮tealing鈥� money from him. Kat feels bad but covers. Masood tries to apologise to Fatboy who tells him to sort things out with Tamwar. Tamwar and Fatboy make up and Fatboy assures Tamwar he鈥檚 happy living with Dot. Tamwar鈥檚 surprised when Mick mentions that Masood鈥檚 apologised and made Mick promise never to serve him booze again. Masood鈥檚 booked himself a room at the B&B. He apologises to Tamwar from the bottom of his heart and says he hopes one day Tamwar can forgive him. Masood鈥檚 heartened when Tamwar stops him leaving and tells him to come and get some dinner.

Aleks tells Tamwar that the market鈥檚 being merged with the Spring Lane market 鈥� only one site will stay open. Tamwar thinks they need to take action but Aleks reminds him they鈥檙e council employees 鈥� he keeps quiet or loses his job. When Tamwar tries to put a trader off trying to expand, Aleks gets angry - he doesn鈥檛 want the traders to get even the slightest hint that something鈥檚 up.
