Akram’s excited for what he might enter in the Flower & Produce Show, and invites Khalil to come to the allotment to help him choose. Khalil declines; he and Keira will be gaming instead. Azra and Akram agree Khalil isn’t himself, probably still affected by the situation with Lynda’s dog, Monty. They speculate that he might be feeling guilty about his rant at Brookfield last week. Azra resolves to go over there and apologise on Khalil’s behalf. Later she and Ruth chat about Pip and Stella’s wedding before Azra gently broaches the subject of the attack offers her apology for Khalil’s actions. Ruth tells her not to worry, brushing the incident with Khalil aside. She admits she’s still feeling shocked over the attack on the sheep. Azra sympathises, and they agree it’s a horrible situation for everyone.

Meanwhile Khalil complains to Keira that his family is breathing down his neck, whilst admitting he’s having flashbacks to the images of the sheep. He loved Monty like a friend and can’t get his head round what he did. Keira suggests Azra might be able to help, but Khalil’s adamant his family mustn’t know he’s seen the pictures. They already worry too much about him.
Later Azra and Akram agree it’s a relief how understanding Ruth and David were about Khalil. There’s an awkward moment for Keira when they quiz her about what might be bothering Khalil, but she successfully diverts them. They hope they’re worrying about nothing.
