Plot[]
Sunita tells Dev that she will wear the ring after they get married but not as an engagement ring. Tommy gets the electric meter back on at No.5, asking Chesney if his mum leaves him on his own often. Tommy lets him keep a book he was reading about "Real Freaks". Tommy bumps into Fiz and has a go for at her for leaving Chesney on his own. Fiz is furious with her mother. Fiz goes and sees Chesney. Karen asks Steve's opinion on whether to wear the red or the black dress to Sunita and Dev's engagement party. Her mum's funeral is also today but she insists that she is not going to the funeral and wears the red dress. Dev and Sunita leave the corner shop to go and buy a diamond engagement ring. Eva Briggs turns up at Karen's flat and tries to convince her to go to the funeral. She is adamant that she is not going. Betty, Shelley, Ciaran are discussing the engagement party while Steve and Liz talk about Karen not going to the funeral. Todd tells Eileen he is going to college in September to do his A-levels. She is delighted. Sean Tully, an old friend of Karl's bumps into Todd in The Kabin and is talking about needing new accommodation. Todd tells him to try the flat above the bookies. Fiz gives Tommy £10 for the electric and for any food that he gave Chesney and pleads with him not to call social services or the RSPCA. Dev and Sunita head towards the Rovers when Maya appears in the background. They go into the pub and are congratulated by everyone. Maya herself walks towards the pub.
