Plot[]

Part One: Aadi worries when Dev tells him the police are checking the local CCTV cameras to catch the person who vandalised his car. Simon looks after Sam when Leanne and Nick are called into work but the boy refuses to leave his bedroom. Summer sees two tickets for The Importance of Being Earnest on Daniel's desk at school and excitedly assumes he's going to ask her out. Sarah discovers that the factory staff haven't started on the Dexter order even though it's due out to the States in two days' time. Carla realises she got confused by the American dates but refuses to accept that she's overworked. Daniel asks Summer if she's free tonight to mind Bertie. She's heartbroken to realise he only sees her as a babysitter. Aadi questions whether it's fair that Dev spends so much money keeping Asha's videos off the internet that there's nothing left for him. A guilty Dev encourages his son to apply for the London apprenticeship and promises to make it work. Aadi isn't satisfied and coldly reveals he remembers the crash and Dev choosing to save Asha over him. He accuses his dad of leaving him to die.

Part Two: Phill arrives back from the school run with Hope and Ruby and reveals that Ruby has been invited to a child's party. Fiz attributes the lack of an invite for Hope to Penny Finton, one of the other mothers who doesn't want the girl around her daughter. Dev explains to Aadi that he had to save Asha first as she was unconscious. He insists that he loves his children equally. Kelly's desperate not to go back to prison and begs Nina to believe her York story. Nina and Asha consider it karma. Simon can't get Sam to come out of his room but the boy knocks to let Simon know he's okay. Peter suggests to Carla that she's thrown herself back into things with undue gusto. Carla guesses that Sarah tipped him off. Aadi suggests to Dev that he only promoted him to manager as a means of investing in him in the cheapest possible way. Dev explains that he's barely keeping his head above water and he'll understand when he gets older. Aadi feels patronised and admits that he smashed up Dev's car, not Kelly. Tyrone takes Ruby to the party at Speed Daal and meets Penny, who assures him that Hope only missed out because of limited numbers. He sees through her fake show of friendship and takes Ruby home early, telling Penny he knows that Hope was never in the running. Aadi explains to Dev and Asha that he was drunk when he vandalised the car. Horrified Dev picks up the phone to call the police.
