Akram makes a decision, and harmony is restored for one residence.
Josh and Lily nurse a recovering Paul, updating him that Josh鈥檚 girlfriend Nina did not turn up on Thursday. Josh admits that he finds her captivating on stage, but that he deserves more than he鈥檚 getting in the relationship. Lily reveals that she鈥檚 not going to travel with Mason in Australia but is just going to spend a short time in Perth. They no longer need to look for a new housemate. Lily will speak to Dane about the wedding planner job. Now that she鈥檚 staying around, she鈥檚 motivated to get the house clean before Shula arrives tomorrow, despite them feeling ill. Leonard arrives and suggests a refreshing walk ahead of cleaning. Toasting Lily鈥檚 birthday in The Bull with lemonade, Paul shares that he is booking a driving instructor who specialises in nervous students. Returning home to The Stables, the grateful flatmates find that Leonard and Joy have completely cleaned the house.
Akram has been reflecting on the proposed move to Pakistan. Over the week he鈥檚 really noticed the impact Azra makes in the community. His family鈥檚 happiness is the most important - the children have made good friends and Azra is so at home in Ambridge. He has found it humbling. Azra admits that her earlier wishes to move had been her reaction to a bad week. Akram suggests that they take a family walk down to the Green for the Christmas lights switch on, as they all belong in this village now, him included.
