Amira is back in Walford and wastes no time calling the Masoods. Yusef intercepts her calls, telling her she’s wasting her time before hanging up. Yusef manipulates Zainab into feeling shamed over slapping Bushra and convinces her that she needs to leave Walford. At their party, Syed and Christian announce their engagement as Amira walks in. Distraught, she storms out. Syed follows her to the Vic; he is floored by the revelation that they have a baby together - Yasmin. Later, Amira falls prey to Yusef’s scheming as he tells her that Syed will try and take Yasmin away from her. As Yusef and Zainab prepare to leave for Pakistan, Masood arrives and is disgusted with his ex-wife’s behaviour. Feeling the pressure, Zainab asks for more pills. Zainab and Yusef head off for the airport in secret. Amira presents Syed with an ultimatum - he can see Yasmin as long as Christian has nothing to do with her.
