Kat is shocked by her response to a fight amongst the footballers. Alfie faces a difficult decision when Phil fails to persuade Shirley to talk through their difficulties.

The football team are off for an away game. A present鈥檚 been left on the bar for Kat: it鈥檚 perfume. Alfie calls the Vic to let them know that a fight has broken out; Kat is worried for her lover. At the Vic, Alfie reveals that they have been kicked out the pub league: it turns out Ray was signed up for both teams. A testosterone-charged team battle out their differences in front of Kat鈥檚 bar. Once Kat has managed to stop the pub brawl, she tends to her mystery man upstairs. Alfie nearly catches their tender moment; he tells Kat that he鈥檚 sorry for taking her for granted. Kat realises that the perfume was from Alfie, not her lover. Kat鈥檚 mystery man disappears but he leaves an 鈥業 Love You鈥 message for her written in lipstick on a bandage.

Ian tells Sharon he wants her to meet a friend of his: another mother whose kid will be starting school at the same time as Dennis. It鈥檚 Tanya, and the two begrudgingly hold a play date with the kids. The mothers get competitive over their kids abilities and take over a game of Wii the boys are playing. Bored, the Dennis and Oscar take themselves off to play in the kitchen while their mums battle it out in a virtual boxing ring.

Phil leaves Alfie no choice but to sack Shirley; she takes a bottle of vodka as her redundancy pay.
Lucy struggles to deal with Bobby and Ian鈥檚 ever-repairing relationship; she tells Ian that he can鈥檛 pretend the past hasn鈥檛 happened.

Aliyah comes to the Masoods鈥 with the remainder of AJ鈥檚 things. Zainab learns that Aliyah didn鈥檛 have an affair. AJ tells Zainab that Aliyah is desperate for children, and he doesn鈥檛 want any: that鈥檚 why their marriage is finished.
