Plot
Sunita nervously invites her mum and dad for dinner. Frankie and Sunita thaw towards each other and Sunita thanks Frankie for her help in securing her release from prison. Suresh and Mena arrive for dinner. Initially the atmosphere is awkward but when Mena admits she had a stroke three years ago, she and Sunita realise how stupid they've been and how much time they've wasted. Mother and daughter are reunited. Dev, Sunita, Suresh and Mena drink a toast, while Maya lurks outside.

Frankie draws up a rota and explains to Danny, Jamie and Warren they're all going to muck in while she's helping out at Vera's. Danny's proud of her. Danny offers the girls some extra cash if they'll do his laundry.

Frankie does Vera's ironing. Jack's rude about the standard of Vera's ironing. To Vera's delight, Frankie forces Jack to apologise. Vera's worried Roy will replace her at the café. Frankie makes sure he doesn't by offering to do Vera's shifts until she's back on her feet. Leanne's furious.

Meanwhile, Kelly chats up Sean, telling him he's the best looking man in Manchester. Janice tells her she's mad if she thinks she can change him from gay to straight.

Kevin refuses to sell the garage to Ian. Ian offers him some fleet work instead. Kevin's pleased.
