The return of Kush comes at a particularly difficult time for Shabnam, who finds her secret under threat when Dean Wicks finds out about the baby she gave birth to following their one-night stand.
Shabnam lies to Dean by insisting that their child died from complications after the birth, but he smells a rat when she seems to be tripping herself up with her false claims.
Despite Stacey's best efforts at getting through to her, Shabnam refuses to be honest with Kush about what is going on. Instead, Shabnam tries to get Kush to back off for good by telling him that her aunt Fatima is setting her up with a new man called Asim, who she is planning to marry.
When Dean confronts Stacey over Shabnam's baby and demands to know whether the child is still alive, Kush is forced to step in and then heads back to Stacey's place for a drink.
The tipsy pair share a passionate kiss as the night continues, and Stacey also betrays her friend's confidence by letting slip Shabnam's big secret. What does this mean for Kush's future with Shabnam?
