While Brad tries to study at The Tearoom, Chelsea moans about a group staying on past closing time. Then a stranger, Zainab, comes in and Chelsea refuses to serve her, before Brad\u2019s coffee gets spilled over Zainab\u2019s top. Zainab accepts a coffee as compensation before Natasha mentions they need to close up, but tells Zainab to wait inside until they\u2019re done. Brad then wraps his scarf around Zainab\u2019s shoulders to keep her warm, while Chelsea tells Natasha to go and pick up the twins, she\u2019ll finish off and lock up.
Later, after they\u2019ve finished, Chelsea thanks Brad and Zainab for helping. Zainab offers Brad his scarf back, but he tells her to keep it before going. Zainab offers a lift on her scooter and in return Chelsea offers to do Zainab\u2019s eyebrows and eyelashes at Chelsea\u2019s house tomorrow after work. A new friendship is born.
While helping Helen restock the shop Adam asks if there\u2019s more juggling of staff in prospect. But what he really wants is reassurance that he\u2019s done the right thing ordering spooky decorations for the school disco. Later, over a glass of wine, Adam suggests Helen could buy Kirsty\u2019s Beechwood house if she really wants to help her, an idea Helen warms to while looking over the decorations Adam\u2019s bought. One thing though, Helen checks that Ian told Adam it\u2019s called \u2018Spooky Day\u2019 \u2013 and more specifically it\u2019s a \u2018Spooky Disco\u2019? Adam is horrified when Helen outlines the problem some parents and schools have with the word Halloween \u2013 it is all over the bunting Adam bought.
