Freddie frets as the cricket team struggle in their match against Adderton, while Rochelle fends off calls from Saskia about accessing the lairage at the abattoir. Later, while batting, Rochelle’s struck painfully on the elbow by a shot from Rex. After he’s out guilt-stricken Rex takes Rochelle to hospital, where to their relief they discover she hasn’t broken her arm. Rochelle then makes fun of Rex being overly concerned, before accepting his offer to stay over with him rather than face Joy making a fuss and everything degenerating into a row.

On her wedding anniversary Azra is packed off to a spa day at Grey Gables by Zainab and Khalil. It’s a ploy to get her out of the way while Akram is photographed in his wedding outfit, as part of their plan to replace the pictures lost in the sewage spill. The outfit needs letting out so Akram heads to Birmingham with Zainab and Khalil, where they have lunch while a friend does the tailoring. The photoshopping process is explained to Akram, who loves the photos they’ll be using of Azra in her wedding outfit taken recently by Chelsea. They’ll be stopping at the Botanical Gardens on their way home for colourful background shots, plus adding in guests from pictures emailed by Adil. But Akram thinks adding Azra’s parents, who weren’t there originally, is a step too far. Later, both Azra and Akram are delighted by the newly created digital “wedding album”, spotting Khalil and Zainab peeping out of one picture just as if they were really there!
