At the hospital, the sonographer confirms that the baby is fine. Having collected Hope on their way, Tyrone and Alina return home. Hope presents Alina with the toy dinosaur for the baby. Alina’s delighted. But as Tyrone and Alina excitedly discuss the fact they’re having a boy, Hope stares at the dinosaur with mounting fury. When Fiz collects her she steals Alina’s keys

As James works out in Victoria Garden, he spots Craig and asks him if he reported the fact that he wasn’t driving erratically and there was no need to pull him over, Craig becomes flustered.

HOPE BURNS ETERNAL Admitting she’s tired, Alina persuades Tyrone that he should attend the drinks he has arranged at the hotel with his friends and leave her to have an early night.

When Hope declares that she wants nothing to do with the new baby and hopes he’s never born, Fiz is shocked and orders her up to bed. Hope sneaks out of the back door and lets herself onto the salon flat to retrieve her dinosaur believing Alina to be out at the drinks. She lets herself back into number 9 and Fiz is oblivious. Back at the flat Alina sleeps soundly as smoke starts to creep under her bedroom floor. On the street, Eileen and Sally are horrified to realise the salon flat is on fire. Having taken a call from Evelyn, a shocked Tyrone tells Kirk they need to get home. Fiz, Evelyn, Sally and Eileen stand back as Alina is loaded into the ambulance. Tyrone arrives and climbs in with her. Hope watches from her bedroom window, was the fire anything to do with her?

JAMES COMES OUT FIGHTING His disappointment evident, James tells Craig that all he had to do was provide the truth but he let him down. Craig feels wretched. In the police station, Craig questions PC Brody about his handling of James’s arrest but when PC Brody suggests that black people are just over sensitive, Craig’s horrified. Robert, the County Manager, calls at No.3 when James realises Robert is pleased it isn't going any further he reaches a decision and tells Michael he refuses to give up and he’s going to appeal.

GEORGE COMES TO TODD’S RESCUE AGAIN A dejected Todd scours the rental property pages and admits to George that it’s all out of his price bracket as he’s still paying Billy back for the stolen heat pump. When Todd reveals that he still hasn’t found anywhere to stay, George insists he comes home with him.

ELSEWHERE Izzy calls Sarah and Carla and accuses them of lying to her. When Carla admits that they were just trying to protect her, a tearful Izzy kills the call. Sarah and Carla bicker over Izzy, each blaming the other for upsetting her.
