Suki Panesar is still at odds with son Kheerat Panesar after he ran out of his brother Jags Panesar's funeral.

When she sees Suki is still struggling she tells her that she's booked her into a painting class at the community centre! Will it really be Suki's kind of thing?
Isaac Baptiste is feeling miserable in the mental health unit as he continues his treatment following his schizophrenic episode.
Another patient has a heart-to-heart with Isaac, seeing he's lonely, and advises him not to shut out girlfriend Lola Pearce, as he's been refusing to let her visit him.
Meanwhile, Lola is in the cafe and she spots Bailey Baker and Amy Branning putting up mental health awareness posters. She is touched by their thoughtfulness for their teacher.
Mila Marwa and Iqra Ahmed are full of nerves as they await news from Mila's sister Kioni Marwa's social worker.
Mila is desperate to be given custody of her sister and get her out of foster care, but she's concerned that Iqra making a show of herself in front of the social worker may have ruined things.
Will she get the news she wants?
