Billie returns to Walford
Zainab's worried when she sees Amira sleeping on the sofa but Amira insists that the move's temporary as Syed kicks her while he's asleep. Later, Amira bumps into Chelsea and it's not long before she realises that there's already trouble in Amira's relationship. Chelsea tries to extract information out of Amira over what's troubling her and she reluctantly admits that she's still a virgin until she sleeps with Syed. Chelsea suggests that Amira talk things through with Syed but Amira confesses that she's already kissed another man and feeling guilty, she runs off. Meanwhile, Syed's frustrated by his mother's interference as she encourages him to see a doctor about his 'nocturnal kicking'. Reaching the end of his tether, Syed exclaims that she knows the real reason Amira's sleeping downstairs.

Angry at her son's outburst, Zainab suggests that Syed go to mosque, but Syed insists that no amount of praying will change the way he feels. Livid by her son's claim, Zainab throws a cup at the wall. As the pair's fraught tempers ease, Syed maintains that he can't continue living a lie for the rest of his life but Zainab retorts that he should think about his family and the shame it would bring on them. Unbeknown to them, Amira's walked through the door and when Zainab firmly tells Syed that she'll disown him if he lets her down, they see Amira in the doorway - just how much did Amira hear?

Meanwhile, it's Tiffany's birthday and while the youth's delighted with her presents, Bianca's furious that she threw David's £10,000 cheque away as Ricky's put the bin out for collection. Tiff manages to trick Ricky into thinking that Bianca's taking her to school, but decides to stay home with Dotty. They spend the day dressing up and putting on make-up but they're interrupted by a knock at the door - it's Billie, but neither girl knows who he is, so they claim that Bianca doesn't live there. After an argument over a dress ensues, Dotty throws Tiffany's belongings in a rubbish bin, before pushing her inside and running away. Billie's still waiting for Bianca to return and when he sees the bin men collecting the rubbish, he knows there's something wrong and rushes over.

As Ricky and Bianca realise that Tiff tricked them, they arrive home to find Billie saving Tiff from being crushed in the rubbish truck. Tiffany emerges, proudly waving Bianca's £10,000 cheque.
