Courtney gets her man
Aadi's disappointed when Darren tells him that rather than business, his task for today is to chaperone Courtney again. Her agenda for the day is to have lunch and then have sex with him again... but when Amy lets herself into the Alahans' to collect some paperwork, she catches them in a compromising position.

Aadi's concerned when Dev tells him that there are rumours Courtney has been having an affair and asks him to keep his ear to the ground. Meanwhile, Courtney gives Aadi a gift and tells him to wear it later. The youngster's eyes widen as he looks in the box, just as Darren thanks him for looking after his wife. Later in the shop, when Courtney refuses to pay for a drink, Amy erupts at her and warns her to stop using Aadi.
