Monday
Feeling lost and alone, Dot prays for guidance. Jim has organised a day out to the hop-picking fields for them both, a place where they worked during their youth. Despite his plans, Dot accepts Billy's offer of looking after Janet for a few house. Jim, however, isn't best pleased and kicks up a fuss. Bradley then steps up to the challenge.
On the way, there is tension in the car – until Jim reveals where they're going. When the pair spot the church Dot used to go to Sunday school at, she starts to reminisce about her old friend Margot who lived down the road. The vicar, however, has some bad news when she tells Dot that Margot died only recently. Jim reluctantly agrees to let Dot visit her son, Douglas, but is disappointed when he can't stop off at the pub on the way.
At the house, Dot isn't quite prepared for what Douglas has to say to her…
Back in the church, Dot prays, asking God if she's been a bad mother - she then hears a baby crying. When she looks around, she finds a baby boy called Tomas under the 'Asylum Welcome' sign. Before she leaves, Dot writes her name and address on a piece of paper and pins it to the notice board.
Elsewhere, Bradley babysits Janet and she wakes up crying. He gives her a piece of chocolate and she's instinctively quiet…
Tuesday
Minty wakes and it startled to find Garry sitting in the dark. When he heads back to bed, he opens a ring box and stares at a ring inside. Later, Garry rushes home and stuffs everything into his holdall and memorises an address on a scrappy piece of paper.
When Minty learns that Garry's just heard of Lynn's engagement, he phones his friend and tells him to come home and that he's there to talk to. Garry pulls up outside the register office on Minty's motorcycle. He calls someone on his phone and before he hangs up, telling them that he loves them. Inside, Hazel soon arrives dressed in a cowgirl outfit and tells Garry that him being there has made her the happiest woman in the world.
Meanwhile, Dot's adamant that she's going to care for baby Tomas until his mother arrives to collect him. Jim, however, isn't impressed with the idea and tells Dot to phone the social otherwise he will. When Dot finds an address on the back of a piece of paper in Tomas' bag, she sends Jim along to find out all he can about the baby's mother. Jim, however, isn't prepared for what he finds when he winds up in a strip club where two drinks cost him £112!
Back on the Square, Anya arrives at the Brannings' to collect her son, telling Dot that she should never have taken Tomas from the church in the first place.
Elsewhere, Naomi jumps to conclusions about Garry's whereabouts; and Mo's adamant that there's a baby at the Brannings'
Thursday
Jim still wants Anya and Tomas out of his house. He tells Dot that he wants them out by the time he gets back. Anya, however, wants to leave but Dot persuades her to stay for a cup of tea.
When Jim returns, he's furious that Anya and Tomas are still there. He reveals to Dot that Anya was a prostitute and that he knows 'her type'. Jim's had enough of Dot attempting to justify Anya staying at their house and heads to the Vic. He broods over a large whiskey, necks it and heads out of the door. While Dot confesses to Anya that Jim will do the right thing, Jim's in the phone box across the Square reporting Anya to the local authorities for being an illegal immigrant.
Meanwhile, at the register office, Hazel (Garry's mum) suddenly realises that she can't go through with her marriage. Garry tells his mum that he thought this time would be different and the wedding would actually go ahead. Instead, she let the thought of nose hair put her off…
Garry has a run-in with the ex-bridegroom-to-be Gerald, resulting in Garry donning a thick lip shortly afterwards. As Garry is about to drop off Hazel, who has nowhere to stay, at a taxi office, she turns on the charm resulting in him turning around and coming back for her. He'll put her up at his house for one night – and one night only.
Friday
After making the phonecall to immigration, Jim returns home. He can't believe that Anya's made herself right at home. We quickly see an immigration officer's car pull up outside the house. Dot is devastated and quickly puts her brain into action. Dot, Anya and baby Tomas escape out of the back door, while Jim is left to deal with the investigators.
As immigration search the house, Dot 'returns home' to a house of commotion and demands to know what is going on, demanding that they leave. Dot and Jim head out of the back door to meet Anya who is already in the car. They head for the church, with Dot thinking that it's a 'sanctuary'. When the police arrive, they point out that a church isn't a 'sanctuary'.
In the vestry, Jim apologises to Anya who knows she will be taken away. She lays baby Tomas on the quilt and heads out of the door, ready to give herself up. When she hugs Dot, she tells her that she trusts her. The immigration authorities leave with Anya, and Jim emerges from the vestry holding baby Tomas in his arms. Jim and Dot are literally left holding the baby.
Meanwhile, Mo believes she's being haunted; and Hazel and Minty hit it off when she makes an appearance at the house.
