In the Rovers, Dev shares his own experiences at the hands of racists. Meanwhile, uncomfortable around his own Dad, James slinks out, more convinced that his only option is to quit football as people will never accept him for who he is.
Aggie tells Ed that she’s proud of him for standing up to Don but wishes she could be proud of the way he is with James too. At No.3 Ed offers James a heartfelt apology for the way he’s behaved, assuring him that deep down he couldn’t be prouder. Will father and son finally be reunited?

Later, Ayesha is still fuming over what she sees as Zara’s snub. Sid and Bear agree that Zara can be tough but feel she has the best interests of the practise at heart. Ayesha disagrees; this is personal. And she’s getting sick of it.
