But what's holding him back?
After Tony plays cupid, for his first date with Serena, Imran invites their friends along for support, which leads to Theresa playing goalkeeper at the park.
When Serena suggests something more intimate, Imran hurriedly makes an excuse to leave. Will Serena get the wrong impression?
Meanwhile, it’s the launch of a new menu at The Dog and Tony is determined to make sure it goes well. Ahead of the live stream, he asks Imran to taste a new dish, but Imran fakes a mouthful.
Trying to make up for their last date, Imran invites Serena to come and watch and things quickly turn sour when Tony spills a dish on his shirt and Imran gets defensive when Diane offers to wash it.
The next day, it's third time lucky as Imran tries to mend things with Serena. But when she tries to get him to eat a dessert with her, Imran is visibly unsettled. Will finally open up about why?
Later, Imran offers to help Serena train in exchange for her expertise on dietary plans and nutrition. And at the Chen-Williams’, Serena and Honour finally build bridges as Honour opens up about her discomfort with feelings dating back to her childhood.
