Pradeep is nervous about going to the parent support group. Krishan bounds in and demands to know where they are going. He wrongly guesses they are going Diwali shopping and wants to go too. Rita reminds him he has his 11 plus exam tomorrow and needs to revise. Krishan stomps off and Rita is worried but Pradeep suggests they concentrate on one child at a time.
Pervaiz and Khatija compliment Kamal on his interview. Pervaiz expresses his delight at Zak’s involvement with Radio Ramzaan and thanks Kamal for being a good influence on him. Kamal asks if Nadia is breaking her fast with them tonight but Khatija says she is out.
Elsewhere Rozena leaves an awkward message for Brian about the other night. She rings off when she realizes she is rambling.
Khatija, Pervaiz and Kamal discuss the forthcoming street festival. Pervaiz says they are expecting people from all over this year due to Eid and Diwali. Kamal gets nostalgic about Afghanistan and talks about his deceased brother Khalid. Pervaiz says it’s good that Kamal feels he can talk to them.
Over at the support group session Martin Edwards introduces himself to Pradeep and they discuss Roopa’s bulimia. Martin assures him that it gets better in time and describes his own experiences as a parent. Pradeep says he wishes he could do more that’s all.
Khatija is excited because Arshad’s parents have invited them over for Eid. She is convinced it won’t be long before Nadia and Arshad are married. She thinks this is a reward for all the hardship they have been through and besides it’ll show the stuck-up Jilanis are thing or two.
Back at home Rita thanks Pradeep for coming with her and says that’s the difficult bit over. Pradeep reckons the hard bit is telling Roopa they’ve been going to the meetings behind her back. Rita says they’ll tell her when the time is right……
