Ben takes the plunge, and Chris is honest.

Tracy heads off to Rochelle鈥檚 Well-being event. Chris didn鈥檛 know anything about it until Chelsea suggested bringing Martha to her movement workshop. Tracy鈥檚 running a mindfulness colouring workshop because Brad鈥檚 dropped out.

When Zainab and Chelsea arrive at the barn the lights aren鈥檛 on and the door鈥檚 locked. Ben arrives with a key, but none of them have heard from Rochelle for weeks. Chelsea tries to ring her but the phone鈥檚 switched off. They decide to go ahead with the event anyway.

Chelsea apologises to Zainab about her behaviour around Brad and Zainab鈥檚 sorry too. Chelsea explains people often assume she鈥檚 thick because of her accent and doesn鈥檛 go to university. Zainab counters she doesn鈥檛 go to uni either and that her job is delivering take-aways. When Chelsea asks why Zainab doesn鈥檛 date, she explains it鈥檚 because she鈥檚 a Muslim and that鈥檚 important to her. Chelsea checks that Zainab definitely doesn鈥檛 fancy Ben, before putting away her Cupid鈥檚 Bow.

Later Chelsea reports to Tracy that Rochelle left Ambridge without sorting anything out. Joy was really embarrassed when Ben spoke to her. But it鈥檚 not a total flop and Martha鈥檚 had the time of her life!

As Chris and Tracy head home, Tracy wonders if Chris will stay single. He reckons he鈥檚 pretty happy as he is and is enjoying being friends with Alice.

After they鈥檝e cleared up Ben suggests heading off for a pizza to Zainab. He鈥檚 disappointed when Chelsea says she鈥檒l come too. Zainab quietly thanks her, and Chelsea comments that鈥檚 what friends are for.
