Rozena calls at the surgery and is surprised when Dr Hassan mentions he’ll be calling to see Mushtaq later, with Shazia. He asks if the baby-scan DVD lifted Mushtaq’s spirits. Rozena replies bitterly that it did. Just before leaving she asks Hassan about paternity testing. Seeing his shock she hurries to add that it’s not for her.
Rozena finds Imran holding the fort at Jilani fashions. Rudely she asks ‘Where’s the boy?’ Imran tells her Luca is at their parents’. Rozena wants to know what the hell he was thinking, turning up like that and giving Mushtaq such a shock. Imran reckons that a living, breathing grandson is just the thing to give Mushtaq a reason to live, not some DVD!
Mushtaq and Shazia chat in the garden as they watch Luca play football. Mushtaq doesn’t want Shazia to make the same mistakes as him. Hassan is a good man who won’t let her down he says. Zenab quizzes Hassan indoors about Isabel but Hassan can’t help her. He only met her briefly. Shazia is quiet on the way home as she thinks about Mushtaq’s advice. Hassan drops her off without a word, but he’s barely had time to pull away when his phone rings. Shazia forgot to ask him; would he like to come for dinner tonight?
