Is there anything Nina can do to try and make things a bit easier for Ruhma?
Suni Bulsara (Rahul Arya) is still getting the cold shoulder treatment from receptionist, Scarlett Kiernan (Kia Pegg).
And he doesn't know why.
However, the co-workers have to put their differences aside when Suni's mum and bosslady Nina asks Scarlett to help him learn the computer system.
Will Suni get any closer to working out what he has done WRONG?
