Tamwar is not interested in Afia

Friday 20th January, 20:00 on BBC1

Its clear that Tamwar is still behaving coldly towards Afia, so Zainab tries to step in to resolve the issue and asks Afia to make the first move in reconciling with her husband. However, it seems that Afia is still struggling with the fresh knowledge of what Yusef put Zainab through. Zainab also tries the same with Tamwar, but he remains quite and unresponsive.

A while later, Afia chats to Lucy at the cafe and they strike up a bond as they discuss Yusef and Cindy. Lucy ends up inviting Afia on a night out that she has planned with Lauren and Whitney, but Amira disapproves when she goes looking for Afia later that night.

Across the square, Whitney tells Liam that he’s not a kid anymore and needs to start doing more to help the family. Later, Bianca is furious when the school phone her to report that Liam hasn’t turned up for lessons. Bianca covers for her son, but when she confronts him later that day, Liam reveals that he’s found himself a job at the local fast food restaurant and will be working part time on evenings and weekends to help with the family income.

Meanwhile, Abi discovers that the love letter is for Rose after doing some detective work, and Tanya convinces Jane to attend her interview but is later shocked to learn that the job is in Wales.
