Alarm bells ring for Azra, and Keira offers her support.
Akram鈥檚 excited for what he might enter in the Flower & Produce Show, and invites Khalil to come to the allotment to help him choose. Khalil declines; he and Keira will be gaming instead. Azra and Akram agree Khalil isn鈥檛 himself, probably still affected by the situation with Lynda鈥檚 dog, Monty. They speculate that he might be feeling guilty about his rant at Brookfield last week. Azra resolves to go over there and apologise on Khalil鈥檚 behalf. Later she and Ruth chat about Pip and Stella鈥檚 wedding before Azra gently broaches the subject of the attack offers her apology for Khalil鈥檚 actions. Ruth tells her not to worry, brushing the incident with Khalil aside. She admits she鈥檚 still feeling shocked over the attack on the sheep. Azra sympathises, and they agree it鈥檚 a horrible situation for everyone.
Meanwhile Khalil complains to Keira that his family is breathing down his neck, whilst admitting he鈥檚 having flashbacks to the images of the sheep. He loved Monty like a friend and can鈥檛 get his head round what he did. Keira suggests Azra might be able to help, but Khalil鈥檚 adamant his family mustn鈥檛 know he鈥檚 seen the pictures. They already worry too much about him.
Later Azra and Akram agree it鈥檚 a relief how understanding Ruth and David were about Khalil. There鈥檚 an awkward moment for Keira when they quiz her about what might be bothering Khalil, but she successfully diverts them. They hope they鈥檙e worrying about nothing.
