Azra’s organising food and her children indulge in some low level bickering. Khalil doesn’t understand why he still can’t participate fully in Ramadan. He leaves to take Monty for a walk. Lynda feels for him. Zainab tries to cheer Khalil with the news that the insurance will cover their damaged tech items. Khalil can’t get past being excluded from fasting. Zainab assures him they’re all just looking out for him. Khalil comments that at least at his new school he’s treated like everyone else.

Azra bumps into Justin and the subject of the sewage leak comes up. Justin sympathises. Azra mentions Robert’s emailed him on the subject, to see if he can help. Justin reckons there’s not much he can do. The liability lies with Borsetshire Water, not Damara as the developers of Beechwood. He suggests it’s up to the whole community to get together and persuade the water company to improve the infrastructure.
Lynda has a dilemma – Freddie’s volunteered as cricket captain and she’d just secured Tom. Robert suggests she retracts the offer to Tom. Lynda will sleep on it.
Concerned for Khalil, Lynda suggests she and Robert stop fasting. Azra feels it will make no difference. She confides that Khalil had leukaemia when he was younger, and it’s her need to protect her son that’s frustrating him. She knows she’s denying him his independence, but she can’t let go of her image of the fragile little boy he was.
