Hello and welcome to the second part of Friday's episode. If you missed that, or want a reminder, may I recommend my blogeague Ms Kelstar's recap?
The news affects the rest of tonight's storylines: Despite Toyah's horrible blouse, the social worker tells the Battersby-Habeebs that they are excellent candidates for fostering and it will go to panel in July. Craig offers to move out so that the mystery third room in the flat can belong to the foster child. It may seem a bit out of the blue, this, but Imran did tell off Toyah back when she got arrested as part of Weatherfield's Extinction Rebellion group, saying that it would "ruin all their plans". Anyway, after hearing the news from the hospital, Toyah realises that they'll have to put the fostering on hold.
In the "comedy" storyline, Alina Pop! helps Emma get her hand out of the vase. Oh just get together, ladies, have the first lesbian wedding and tell Seb to stick his man bun. Alina comforts Emma about the Oliver news and then tells Seb she can't go for a drink with him. Yay!
In non-Oliver news, Fiz realises the she and Ty are the new Jack and Vera as he sits on the sofa in his vest and she nags him about tidying up. Don't complain, Fiz, the Duckworths were in the soap for thirty years and remain much-loved to this day. Anyway, the upshot is that Alan Halsall does his Jack impression, which is lovely.
