Ryan convinces Kat to let him go with her to see Stacey and the baby. Janine is suspicious when she sees them talking and pushes the door shut on Ryan when he's in the Vic cold store. Pat finds out what Janine has done and insists that she rescue him. Janine thinks Ryan cares more about Stacey than her. Ian sneaks out of the Masoods' brimming with anger after overhearing Jane say she doesn't love him. Ian bumps into Glenda on the way home and wants to know why Glenda didn't tell on him after finding him under the stairs. Glenda takes Ian home to talk about it and they kiss. Ian thinks he's on a promise when Glenda goes out to get wine. Bianca walks in to find a naked Ian! Meanwhile, Glenda is with Phil in his car and she thanks him for the 'ride'... Tamwar tells Masood and Zainab that he's bringing Afia and her dad Yusuf to meet them that evening. Zainab is horrified when Yusuf walks through the door, as he's her violent ex-husband! Masood is equally appalled and rages at Yusuf and his family for trying to burn Zainab to death. Also, Kat auctions Alfie's services for a whole day at the charity night.
