Plot
Maya's worried when Dev goes out on business at 6.00 am on a Sunday morning. Ashley and Claire have spent their first night together at the house. Fred puts a brave face on things for their benefit. The atmosphere gets even frostier between Bev and Shelley. Bev tells Ciaran she has a plan to put things right. Dev asks Maya to look after the shop for the day. Sunita is delighted to get the day off. Penny feels awful about Fred and thinks that she and Mike acted shabbily. She's disappointed that Mike doesn't share her guilt and tells him it's over between them. Bev tries to resign, but Fred persuades her to stick things out. Todd's increasingly uneasy that Karl is mixing with his friends - Nick in particular. He warns Karl off and storms out of the pub. A harassed Dev asks Maya to look after a large hold-all and then dashes out again. Mike gets cornered into eating Sunday lunch with Fred and the family. He squirms as Fred makes a toast to "Family and Friends". Todd's relieved when Karl suddenly gets a room in the nurses' home and moves out. Penny and Mike make up when she goes to see him. Maya discovers that Dev's mystery bag contains £20,000's worth of fake Rolex watches. He asks her to trust him, but he needs to look after them for Naveen for a few days.
