Mani calls on the Jilani’s to see Imran. Zenab hurries him in, in case there are any more journalists hanging about. Imran ushers Mani upstairs. He’s brought the newspapers as Imran asked so he can see what’s being written about him. He’s shocked by what he reads. The press are making Mickey Reynolds out to be a saint. Mani urges him to tell the police the truth. Before Mani leaves he promises Imran that he’ll be in court for him on Thursday.
Sameer offers to take some time off to be there as well but Imran assures him there’s no need with Mani coming and Jas has promised to be there too. When Imran brings in the coffee, Sameer is sitting watching a daytime TV chat show. By the time Imran has worked out who’s done what to who he starts to feel maybe his own problems aren’t as bad as he thought!
Downstairs, Dr Masud has been checking on Mushtaq. While Zenab is out of earshot Mushtaq tries to find out how Shazia feels about the case. Dr Masud assures him that he and Shazia are on their side. Mushtaq gets another declaration of support from Pervaiz, who phones to tell Mushtaq that he’ll pray for the family. After speaking to Pervaiz Mushtaq decides he ought to call Sameer’s parents. Zenab is mortified, what must they think? When Mushtaq tells her that they are coming over tomorrow Zenab can’t take any more and breaks down in tears. She’s been trying so hard to put on a brave face, writing the New Year’s cards but what’s the point? What kind of New Year are they facing now?
