Alfie decides to have a Christening for baby Tommy. Kat walks in on Mo and Alfie organising the Christening and wants to know what they're up to, but they refuse to tell. Kat later answers a call about the Christening and Alfie realises he's been rumbled. Alfie says the baby needs a name, and it should be Tommy. Kat is unsure and wants to think of another name. Jack overhears Alfie talking about having a Christening. Jack decides that he needs to change the name on his baby's headstone to say 'James'. Vanessa offers to make the arrangements on his behalf and he's grateful. Jack tells a sympathetic Kat about what he's doing. Kat makes a decision and calls the Church to go ahead with the Christening of her boy, Tommy. Masood's fuming when Syed rings Zainab's phone and he cancels the call and is then equally appalled to spot a cheque from Yusef. Masood buys a scratchcard and wins 50 pounds. Masood convinces Jane to bet on the horses with his winnings, reasoning it won't be like he's really betting. Masood wins, Jane puts the lot on another horse and he wins 8000 pounds! But Masood can't stop there... and is distraught when he loses the lot.
