Ronnie is back in Albert Square, and it does not take long for secrets to resurface. Phil tries to stir up trouble for Vincent. Masood attempts to build bridges within his family.

Charlie heads to hospital and is surprised to see Ronnie surrounded by packed bags; she鈥檚 coming home. Vincent corners Phil and suggests that they need to talk, claiming that they still have matters to sort out. Back home, Ronnie suggests Charlie and Matthew moving straight in 鈥 she wants everyone under the same roof. At breakfast, Patrick lets slip that Vincent鈥檚 informed him that Ronnie鈥檚 home; Kim attempts to hide her discomfort. Kim announces that Vincent is moving in to Patrick鈥檚. Vincent suggests that he wants to take the trio out later so that they can meet his family. Back at number 27, Charlie pointedly claims that he and Ronnie need some time alone to settle back in 鈥 Roxy takes this as her cue to leave. Phil arrives and warns Ronnie that Vincent鈥檚 their new neighbour 鈥 and he wants to talk. Vincent, Patrick, Denise, Kim and Pearl arrive at the Vic to meet Claudette; Phil clocks Vincent鈥檚 entrance.

As Claudette coos over Pearl, Donna arrives. In number 27, Charlie is being obviously cold with Ronnie and when Ronnie takes his hand, Charlie confesses that he knows about Vincent 鈥 he鈥檚 told Charlie that she鈥檚 in love with him. Ronnie purports that there鈥檚 only one person in their relationship that鈥檚 been unfaithful; she knows about him and Roxy. In the Vic, as Claudette and Vincent head up to the bar, Phil brings up Vincent being involved with the police, but Claudette refuses to rise to the bait. When Vincent and Phil are left alone, Vincent claims that Phil and Ronnie are going to have to pay for his silence with regards to Carl White.

Charlie tries to convince Ronnie that he and Roxy sleeping together meant nothing. As the pair bicker about Roxy and Vincent, Ronnie acknowledges that coming out of hospital shouldn鈥檛 be this hard. Charlie disagrees and suggests that he believes they can get through anything. The pair agree to put everything behind them and start afresh. As Claudette goes to leave the Vic, Vincent announces to the group that he promises to pay his way now that he鈥檚 living at Patrick鈥檚; he鈥檚 secured himself a new business deal. On her way out, Claudette warns Vincent to stay away from Phil; he鈥檚 bad news. After Phil fills Ronnie and Charlie in on Vincent鈥檚 threat, Ronnie confesses to Charlie that she asked Vincent to stop the drug dealer from giving evidence at Dot鈥檚 trial. Attempting to win him over, Vincent offers Patrick a rum, but Patrick isn鈥檛 interested 鈥 adamant that he can see straight through him. Ronnie, Phil and Charlie suggest to Vincent a truce but Vincent finds this laughable. Ronnie tells Vincent that he can name his price, but it鈥檚 a one-off. Later, Vincent tells Phil that if he wants a truce, then he does have a price - it鈥檚 The Albert...

Donna asks Liam whether he can watch the stall for her. When Liam claims he can鈥檛, Donna suggests that it鈥檚 his chance to prove that he鈥檚 not a pushover. Donna watches on as Cindy approaches Liam on the stall and blows off their plans for later. As Roxy helps Sharon with the stocktake at The Albert, she proceeds to pour herself shots, moaning to Sharon that both Ronnie and Charlie don鈥檛 need her. As a good looking punter enters, Roxy decides to serve him before opening hours. Roxy continues to drink, before morosely telling Sharon that no matter what she does, she鈥檒l never be Ronnie. Later, as a drunk Roxy walks by, Donna suggests that Liam finds himself a cougar. Liam finds Roxy on the steps of the Albert who teases him for being cute and tells him to sit with her. Sharon is unimpressed when she heads outside to see that Liam has been drinking with Roxy. The situation takes a turn for the worse then Roxy discovers the punter from earlier鈥檚 business card 鈥 he鈥檚 a reviewer for the Walford Gazette who would have witnessed Liam drinking underage.

Masood complains to Kush that when his family first arrived in Walford, they were a real part of the community, but now they鈥檝e lost that. Kush suggests that Masood stops self-pitying, and instead does something about it. As Masood cooks a lavish meal for the family, Shabnam immediately questions what鈥檚 awry. Masood apologises for his recent behaviour, before asking Tamwar whether he can have a pitch on the market; he wants to re-open the Masala Masood stall.
