Whilst destressing on his allotment, Adil tells Azra the reason he came back to Ambridge is the terrible guilt he feels over messing things up so badly for Oliver, Lynda, Ian and everyone else. Azra probes into why he hasn’t been keeping in touch with Sabha’s parents. Adil admits how difficult he finds it talking to them about her. They keep their front room as a shrine to her memory. He also admits he isn’t always honest with people about Sabha being his fiancée when she died, rather than his wife. He thinks fiancée sounds lesser somehow. Then Azra tells him she’s applied for a permanent position as a GP at the surgery. Adil would have liked more warning of her working close by, and Azra admits that if she gets the job she will definitely want to move somewhere local, though not necessarily Ambridge itself.

As she helps Tom with the veg boxes, Helen ignores several calls and texts from Miles. She tells Tom how awful it was on Thursday, with Rob. In the end she just couldn’t bear the idea of being there when he died. It wouldn’t have felt right sharing that intimate moment with someone she didn’t love. Tom tells her not to beat herself up – she did the right thing. Miles messages again and Helen doesn’t read it, dreading what she knows it will say. Tom reads it for her: Rob died last night at 9.09pm. Helen works out what she was doing then, before admitting how confused she is about how she feels.
