Elizabeth attempts to do the right thing, and it鈥檚 panic stations for Will.

Zainab thinks her dad is avoiding her. Azra says he鈥檚 just on a plumbing job in Penny Hassett. Zainab says she can protect herself and that she鈥檚 already dealt with racism, recently from Lawrence at the golf club. Azra says she might have to arrest people she鈥檚 sympathetic to, but Zainab says she鈥檚 hardly the first Muslim woman to join the police. Azra says she would be the first in the family, to which Zainab points out their cousin Usman is a detective. Later, Azra says they鈥檒l support Zainab鈥檚 decision.

Will is driving Keira to school as she doesn鈥檛 want anyone seeing her on the bus and knowing she鈥檚 having to take catch-up classes. Will tells Keira to wave to Alan as they pass but she says there鈥檚 something going on with him. News that he got chucked out of Carol鈥檚 funeral has spread. Keira says she鈥檚 got a headache and pleads with Will to pull over. Will gives her water and painkillers, but Keira says she just needs to lie down. Will wants to check her cuts aren鈥檛 sore. One looks particularly red, so Will says they should go to A&E.

In the surgery, Elizabeth has come in for an appointment as she鈥檚 scared her depression will come back. Between Vince being relentlessly upbeat, Freddie trying to hold down the abattoir and Lily micromanaging, she confesses she feels fragmented and is having panic dreams. Azra asks if Elizabeth always puts this much pressure on herself. Azra advises they start with counselling. She鈥檒l put a list together of counsellors.
