Nina isn't exactly thrilled by the news of Auntie Binita's visit.

Suni catches his mum clearing the kitchen cupboards of microwave meals and anything else which she thinks Auntie Binita will criticise her for!

Suni thinks Nina is overreacting.

But he quickly discovers that Auntie Binita is hard to please, as she starts finding things to complain about as soon as she's walked through the front door!

While Nina grits her teeth and tries to get through the visit, how will Suni react when Auntie Binita reveals she's found a lovely Indian scientist she wants to introduce him to!

Emma Reid (Dido Miles) has an appointment to review diabetic patient, Ronnie Ramsey (Paul Cawley).

Ronnie is having a difficult time adjusting to the post-pandemic world, and insists on still wearing a face mask and carrying a bottle of hand sanitizer.

During their appointment, Emma notices Ronnie moving his chair two metres away.

The GP gently reminds Ronnie that he is fully vaccinated and doesn't have to live in fear from Covid.

But Ronnie refuses to discuss the matter any further.

He seems further distracted after a fallout with his son, Justin (Edward Mitchell).

Justin is due to marry his fiance, Simon Pang (Stephen Hoo), in two days time.

But the Big Day has suddenly been thrown into jeopardy by Ronnie's announcement that he will NOT be attending the wedding!

Could it be that Ronnie does not approve of Justin's gay wedding plans?
