When she attempts to check the accounts book for the Vic, Alfie orders her out. Ronnie is upset that Roxy stays quiet. Ronnie tries to leave, but Billy tells her that Phil would be ashamed. She returns to R&R and steps in to help a reluctant Sharon control Carl and his rowdy mates. He offers to provide club security but Ronnie won't be pushed out; she's a Mitchell. Cark smirks - game on. At R&R, Jack confesses to Ronnie he tried to forget her but James' death doesn't have to be the end of them. He tells a tearful Ronnie he won't let her push him away again and kisses her tenderly.

As rubbish is collected outside the Vic, Shirley's phone beeps from inside a bin bag, along with a photograph of Shirley and Heather, and Shirley's leather jacket.
