Ben takes the plunge, and Chris is honest.

Tracy heads off to Rochelle’s Well-being event. Chris didn’t know anything about it until Chelsea suggested bringing Martha to her movement workshop. Tracy’s running a mindfulness colouring workshop because Brad’s dropped out.

When Zainab and Chelsea arrive at the barn the lights aren’t on and the door’s locked. Ben arrives with a key, but none of them have heard from Rochelle for weeks. Chelsea tries to ring her but the phone’s switched off. They decide to go ahead with the event anyway.

Chelsea apologises to Zainab about her behaviour around Brad and Zainab’s sorry too. Chelsea explains people often assume she’s thick because of her accent and doesn’t go to university. Zainab counters she doesn’t go to uni either and that her job is delivering take-aways. When Chelsea asks why Zainab doesn’t date, she explains it’s because she’s a Muslim and that’s important to her. Chelsea checks that Zainab definitely doesn’t fancy Ben, before putting away her Cupid’s Bow.

Later Chelsea reports to Tracy that Rochelle left Ambridge without sorting anything out. Joy was really embarrassed when Ben spoke to her. But it’s not a total flop and Martha’s had the time of her life!

As Chris and Tracy head home, Tracy wonders if Chris will stay single. He reckons he’s pretty happy as he is and is enjoying being friends with Alice.

After they’ve cleared up Ben suggests heading off for a pizza to Zainab. He’s disappointed when Chelsea says she’ll come too. Zainab quietly thanks her, and Chelsea comments that’s what friends are for.
