A distraught Ian faces a tough decision that could tear his family apart. Ben makes a shocking confession to Ian, but how will his brother react?

Ian and Jane are in shock as Masood confirms that the wallet and phone that Denise has found are definitely Lucy鈥檚 鈥� her ID鈥檚 in there. Denise admits that she could have called the police herself but wanted to check that Patrick had nothing to do with it first. When Ian jumps down her throat, Denise explains that she discovered it was Peter who was looking after the allotment when Lucy died; Patrick was in Trinidad. Masood maintains that they wanted Ian to know all the facts first, there鈥檚 always the chance that this find could mean fingers would start to point at Peter. Ben and Jay nervously watch the Beales鈥� house; Ben assures Jay he鈥檒l think of something. Ian accuses Denise of suspecting Peter, but Denise stands firm, she鈥檚 trying to protect him.

Jane takes Denise into the kitchen to calm her down and admits that she鈥檚 moved back in, but that she and Ian aren鈥檛 back together; it鈥檚 for Bobby. Denise agrees to stay until the police arrive and admits that she did love Ian once. Ben and Jay hide behind the Beale鈥檚 back wall in a desperate attempt to see what鈥檚 happening. The pair overhear Denise and Masood talking 鈥� they鈥檝e called the police. Ben orders Jay to wait for him at home. When the door goes, Jane is surprised to answer to a worried looking Ben. Ben asks to have a word with Ian; just the two of them and confesses to Ian that he and Jay tried to rob an off licence on Good Friday.

Ben explains that it didn鈥檛 work and they came back to Walford instead. Ben confesses that he was going to mug someone for cash but instead found a bag lying in the street 鈥� when he realised the purse and phone belonged to Lucy he panicked and buried them. Ian is disbelieving 鈥� but Ben swears that he didn鈥檛 see Lucy. Ian questions why Ben didn鈥檛 tell him as soon as he was back; it must mean he鈥檚 hiding something. In the kitchen, Masood asks Jane whether she and Ian are back together. When Jane denies it, Masood suggests that it won鈥檛 be long until Ian needs comforting and she jumps back into bed with him again. This is news to Denise who questions when this happened. Ben finally admits that Jay was with him when they stole Lucy鈥檚 things and that it was Jay who buried them. Denise barges into the living room, fuming about Ian sleeping with Jane when they were still together, before storming out of the house; Masood follows.

Denise feels let down by Masood by him not telling her the truth and shouts at him to leave when he suggests having some compassion for Ian. Denise purports that Lucy was no angel, she was spoilt and selfish. Ben begs Ian and Jane not to tell the police the truth 鈥� they鈥檒l know he broke his probation and he might end up back inside. Jane lets in Keeble and Bryant 鈥� Ian covers and tells the pair that he just got them round to apologise for being angry earlier. Once Keeble and Bryant are outside they agree that they both didn鈥檛 buy that story. Ben persuades Ian and Jane to get rid of the purse and phone; they鈥檙e no longer evidence. Jane assures Ben that she鈥檒l deal with them.

Ben returns back to a nervous Jay, and reassures him that they鈥檙e in the clear. Ben assures Jay that he told Ian enough, but not everything 鈥� just enough to sort it. When Ben admits that Jane insisted she keep hold of the phone and wallet, Jay is unimpressed and tells Ben that he鈥檚 done with him. A lost Ben wanders down towards the Albert where he sees Johnny and asks if he can come in for a drink. When Johnny declines, Ben goes to kiss him, but Johnny pushes him away, questioning what he鈥檚 doing. Later, Ian retrieves Lucy鈥檚 phone and anxiously watches as it begin to charge...

In the Albert, Lola鈥檚 in to cover for Ben who hasn鈥檛 turned up. Abi arrives; Ben鈥檚 asked her to come along to keep him company. When Lola tries to talk to Abi, Abi deliberately ignores her. Johnny suggests Lola keep trying. Later, Lola clocks that Abi has been kept waiting and attempts to talk to her again. Abi fronts to Lola that she鈥檚 completely over Jay; she鈥檚 got a new bloke and that鈥檚 who she鈥檚 waiting to meet. Lola gives Abi a drink on the house and invites her over at the weekend, Abi is cold with her. Lola is shocked when Abi reveals that her new man is Ben; he鈥檚 gay! Abi writes off Lola鈥檚 concerns as jealousy.
