Pressure is building for Max as Tanya wants answers and decisions following the fallout from Christmas. Denise stays out of Kim's way following the revelation of her kiss with Ray.

Jack plans a party in R&R to announce his engagement to Sharon; she insists she has to tell Phil first. Sharon tries to but gets involved in an argument between Phil and Lola when Lola brings Lexi back late again. Lola’s grateful for Sharon’s support. Sharon’s awkward, but soothes she’s going nowhere. Later, she’s uncertain about the party and Jack gives her an ultimatum - if she wants to marry him, meet him there. Sharon rushes to R&R on learning Phil has gone there too. Jack announces their engagement. Lola’s face falls. As everyone cheers, Sharon's eyes meet Phil’s - his face is like thunder.

Tanya demands Max makes Kirsty leave the Square. Jack arrives with Derek's ashes. Everyone agrees that Alice should decide where they should be scattered. Tanya meets Kirsty at the café and offers her money to leave Walford. Tanya’s triumphant when Kirsty takes the money and leaves in a cab; she’s shocked when she later appears at R&R with Michael wearing a brand new dress bought with Tanya’s money. After a confrontation in the toilets, Kirsty makes it clear she’s not going anywhere.

Denise has slept on the Masoods‘ sofa and is desperate to make up with Kim. At the B&B, she narrowly avoids a soaking when Kim throws a bucket of water at her.

When Roxy sees that Alfie is concerned about Kat’s financial situation, she hatches a plan filled with good intentions - Kat and Bianca could clean the Vic.
