Dot worries when she feels that Nick is still alive, but can Charlie cover? Kush has a unique way to try to convince Sonia to go through with his charity idea.

Dot gazes suspiciously at the cigarette butt she found in the bin. Ronnie answers the door to Yvonne and is aghast when Charlie calls her 鈥楳um鈥. As Yvonne, Charlie and Ronnie chat in the living room, Fatboy enters and questions Dot鈥檚 strange behaviour. Dot worries the room when she suggests that she thinks Nick is back. Fatboy desperately tries to search for a rational explanation but Dot isn鈥檛 listening 鈥 the cigarette she鈥檚 found is Nick鈥檚 brand.

Ronnie desperately comes up with a cover story; she threw Charlie鈥檚 last packet of cigarettes away and he obviously went and bought a different brand. Charlie cottons on to Ronnie鈥檚 story and faux-admits that it was his cigarette. When Fatboy and Dot leave the room, Yvonne purports that Dot may have fallen for the cover story, but she hasn鈥檛. Charlie and Ronnie confess to Yvonne that Nick did come back but that they鈥檝e paid him off. Charlie sits Dot down and explains that he doesn鈥檛 want his baby growing up in Nick鈥檚 shadow 鈥 he thinks that they should scatter Nick鈥檚 ashes.

Dot is initially reluctant but Charlie insists and reassures her that they can do it in the Square and invite anyone she likes. Dot, Charlie, Ronnie and Yvonne meet Peter, Lauren, Fatboy, Patrick, Ian and Sharon in the Square Gardens to scatter Nick鈥檚 ashes. Ian approaches Fatboy and informs him that he knows about his and Denise鈥檚 kiss, but forgives him. Dot reads a poem and Charlie scatters Nick鈥檚 ashes. Dot thanks Charlie, it felt right to finally say goodbye to Nick. Later, alone in the kitchen, Dot glances out of the window and sees Nick outside. As she goes for a closer look, he is gone, but Dot knows what she saw and is shaken...

Stacey walks in on Tina trying to disguise her black eye with make-up. Tina lies; telling Stacey that she fell down the stairs but Stacey is disbelieving. Tina relents, admitting that she and Tosh had a fight, but they鈥檝e made up now. Dean approaches Tina and reminds her that if she needs a friend then he and Stacey are there. Later, back at the flat, Tina admits to Stacey that what Tosh did was out of order, but that she鈥檒l sort things with Tosh. Tosh arrives back with a huge bunch of flowers for Tina. As Tosh and Tina talk, Tina admits to Tosh that she shouldn鈥檛 provoke her.

Abi is put out when she asks Lauren to help her with her CV 鈥 Lauren鈥檚 more interested in seeing Peter who鈥檚 leaving for New Zealand today. As Lauren heads out of the house, she spots the car that was previously following her. She heads towards it and it screeches away, leaving Lauren visibly shaken. Back in the house, Lauren fills Abi in on what she鈥檚 just seen. Abi dismisses Lauren concerns, reminding her that if it was the other way round, she wouldn鈥檛 be bothered. As Peter says goodbye to Lauren to leave for New Zealand, Lauren fills him in on seeing the suspicious car again. Peter reassures her that it鈥檚 probably nothing and gets in the cab to the airport.

Carol opens the door to Sonia holding a bunch of flowers 鈥 ready to apologise for the previous night鈥檚 argument. Sonia admits that she鈥檚 scared; she and Martin are going through a bad patch. Carol tries to persuade Sonia to get involved with the calendar despite Martin鈥檚 comments 鈥 even if it doesn鈥檛 make him feel differently, it might make her feel better about herself. Kush gathers Carol, Sonia and Pam in the market and pitches his calendar idea 鈥 the women of Walford holding fruit and veg, wearing smiles and nothing else! Carol immediately feels awkward at the thought and leaves 鈥 Pam follows.

Sonia isn鈥檛 impressed and reminds Kush that none of the men on the Square would be up for it. Later Kush appears on Bridge Street wearing nothing but a pumpkin to maintain his modesty 鈥 trying to prove to Sonia that blokes will get involved. The pumpkin slips out of his hand and he reveals all to the Square.
