By Daniel Kilkelly | Kat is still refusing to call Tommy by his name and Mo is shocked when she hears her refer to the baby as 'him'. Soon afterwards, Alfie tells Mo at the café that he wants to have a christening for Tommy and starts to discuss the details, but Jane points out that Jack is nearby and gestures for them to stop talking about it. Alfie tries to apologise, but Jack tells him not to worry. Vanessa soon comes over to talk to Jack and he tells her that he wants to get James's headstone changed. When Vanessa sees how upset Jack is, she offers to make the arrangements for him.
Once they have returned to The Vic, Alfie and Mo start secretly making the plans for the christening, but Kat later answers the phone to someone who they have contacted over the ceremony. Realising he's been rumbled, Alfie tells Kat that the baby needs a name and it should be Tommy. However, Kat disagrees, arguing that Tommy was the name they buried and they need to choose a new one. Later, Jack tells Kat that he wants to change the headstone and make everything right. Touched by Jack's comments, Kat phones the church and says that she wants to go ahead with the christening, before telling Alfie that he was right and they should keep the name Tommy after all.
Meanwhile, Masood sees that Syed is calling Zainab and he secretly cancels the call. He then finds the cheque from Yusef in Zainab's handbag and confronts her over the matter, insisting that he will find the money himself somehow. Later, Jane convinces Masood to buy a scratchcard and he wins £50. Wanting to continue the good luck, Masood asks Jane to put a bet on the horses for him and they have another win. After putting on another bet, they win £8,000 and Masood excitedly tells Zainab that he has the money. However, Masood gets greedy and tells Jane that he's sure they won't lose if they bet for a final time. Jane wants no further part in it, but Masood can't help himself. Returning home to an excited Zainab later, Masood can barely look at her - he's blown all the money on the last race…
Elsewhere, Mercy is upset as Seb has dumped her; Syed goes to see Zainab but she insists that they can't rush things as she has other things on her mind; a representative from the UK Border Agency approaches Mercy and informs her that she'll have to leave the country as her visa expired four months ago; and Christian tells Syed that he is worried Zainab will hurt him again, but Syed is convinced it will work this time.
