Syed prepares a banner for Zainab's return from the hospital with baby Kamil. He's furious with Amira, though, for taking the pill behind his back when they were supposed to be trying for a baby of their own. Amira, however, hits back that the idea of a child was Zainab's idea, not theirs - she doesn't yet feel ready to bring a new life into the world. Syed sees her reluctance as a sign that she doesn't want to be with him. Syed goes on to explain that he doesn't think he can be married to somebody he doesn't trust. Upset, Amira runs out of the room while Syed's left feeling shameful at his actions. An exhausted Zainab tells Masood that she's drained but she's forced to put on a false face when she returns to the Square and the locals are outside of their house to welcome baby Kamil home.
Jane and Ian turn up at the party and Zainab makes a point of announcing that Syed and Amira are trying for a baby of their own. Jane looks on in frustration. Later, Syed's forced to apologise to Amira for his outburst earlier in the day and with that, he agrees that they should wait until they're ready to start a family together. With the party under way, Masood's line manager from Royal Mail, David, turns up with a colleague and announces that they must search the house as there's been an allegation of stolen post.

Apologising, Jordan agrees to keep Sugar away from the tree. As Jordan walks away with Sugar, dark thoughts begin to cross Lucas's mind…
