Have your say

Kuljit and Kamla talk about the gym and Kamla reckons Mary is trying to put a brave face on it. Kuljit says it became his dad’s sanctuary and now where will all the youngsters go? Kuljit feels for Pete having to sell up his dad’s business.

Sway gets a call from Tracey, one of Shirley’s foster kids who is throwing a surprise birthday party for her. She wants Kuljit and Sway to do their party piece, body popping! This is going to be difficult especially as they’re not even on speaking terms! Zak thinks Kuljit will come round when he realizes how serious he is about Islam. Sway asks how his exams went. Zak thinks fasting helped him focus, they should try it together but Sway is not that convinced. Sway then grabs the opportunity to see if Zak will captain the Silver Street cricket team, it would really help him out. Zak agrees, it may even be a laugh.

Siobhan rings a stressed Pete. She tries to make him understand that their Dad left the gym to him so he did the family a favour by running it, it was a crumbling wreck when he was alive, he shouldn’t blame himself. The lads will find something else to get involved with, he shouldn’t feel responsible for the gym, his dad’s money, for Sean, he’s tried to keep everything going in the madness. He should see this as his opportunity, he can finally move on. Pete reckons this will be hard as he owes so much money to people.

Mary realizes from Kamla that Pete is getting the blame for Dr Masud’s house being burgled as the lads in the area now have nothing to do. Mary feels bad about Khatija as well but Kamla reminds her that Khatija would put her family first so she should too.

Kuljit does his presentation to Jaggy who says he’s not really into techno, youth coaching is his thing. In fact his presentation has made him realize not to give up on things. He offers to show Kuljit his team photo instead.
