Lauren has a heart-to-heart with Max about her future. Lee thinks he has discovered another twist in the murder enquiry. Sparks fly when Sonia confides in Tina.
Jane pleads with Peter to deny selling drugs to Lucy, but he can鈥檛. Ian grabs Jane鈥檚 arm and leads her away. Peter calls after Ian offering to explain. At the Beales鈥�, Ian and Peter sit at their dining table as Cindy comes bounding downstairs to see Peter, asking what Lauren鈥檚 answer was. She鈥檚 cut short by Jane and is told to leave. Peter asks how they found Lucy鈥檚 phone and Ian asks why he was selling drugs to his sister.
Peter explains he was protecting Lucy - she was an addict. Ian doesn鈥檛 want to believe it. Peter texts Lauren before apologising and telling Jane and Ian everything he knows about Lucy鈥檚 addiction - he couldn鈥檛 tell Ian because he would have made things worse. Jane tells Peter that Lucy鈥檚 phone was buried in the allotment. He thinks they should take it to the police and asks if there is any information on it and looks through the photos. Peter explains that Ian鈥檚 breakdown made Lucy鈥檚 addiction worse; Ian refuses to take responsibility, threatening to phone the police. The two argue and Ian discovers Bobby was being bullied at his old school. Peter turns on Ian as he cries, shouting that they don鈥檛 need his tears.
Peter heads out, determined to find out Lauren鈥檚 answer. Ian realises that he doesn鈥檛 know his children at all. Jane attempts to console him. At Max's house, Lauren accepts Peter鈥檚 proposal; Max makes a toast as the Beales return. Bobby asks what Lauren鈥檚 answer was and she shows him the ring. Attempting to build bridges, Lauren asks Ian if there is any chance of a hug for his future daughter in law. Ian overreacts, snapping that his daughter is dead. Lauren apologises and Max tries to calm him down. Ian blurts that Peter was selling drugs to Lucy. Lauren is horrified by this and kicks Peter out. Peter follows Ian to their house, distraught, and asks Ian why he had to ruin everything for him. Ian coldly tells him that as far as he is concerned Peter and Lucy both died that day and throws his backpack at him, leaving Peter out on the Square with nowhere to go.
Abi wants Lauren to open the box to see the ring but Lauren refuses - Peter told her to wait. Abi asks Lauren what her answer will be and Lauren looks unsure. Whilst getting more drinks, Emma remarks that Peter鈥檚 a better choice than Abi鈥檚 boyfriend. Moments later, Max storms into the living room telling Abi that she can鈥檛 see Ben Mitchell, calling him a gay convicted murderer. Phil is cooking in his kitchen with Jay and Ben sat at the table. Ben has asked Phil to take Abi for driving lessons. Max arrives and tells Ben to stay away from his daughter. Ben stands his ground, backed up by Phil. On Max鈥檚 return, Abi storms out and Emma follows. Abi is furious and lays into her. Whilst waiting for Peter to return, Fatboy shows everyone a video of himself impersonating Jay; it鈥檚 from the night that Lucy was murdered.
Lee notices Lauren in the background going towards the Beales鈥� house. Max sits at the dining table with Lauren, pouring himself a glass of wine as she plays with the ring box. They speak about Peter and Lauren鈥檚 answer. At the Mitchell鈥檚 Ben tells Phil prison straightened him out but Jay isn鈥檛 convinced. Later, after falling asleep on the sofa, Phil wakes to see Ben standing next to him. Ben decides to tell Phil something about Lucy鈥�
Pam bumps into Sonia in the caf茅 while she is signing people up for the Christmas Eve Choir. She informs her that the calendar money hasn鈥檛 come through. Sonia suggests that it鈥檚 probably just not cleared yet. Sonia looks exhausted and Pam winks at her, asking if she had a fun trip. Sonia becomes defensive. Tina is excited to see Sonia, but bemused by her outburst. Later at No 91A, Sonia confides in Tina that she has done something really stupid, lifting her shirt to show two large wounds in her abdomen - she spent the calendar money on a trip to Bulgaria to have a gastric band operation.
Tina鈥檚 shocked, but manages to lift her spirits. There is a moment of electricity between them. Tosh returns and Tina anxiously hides Sonia from her. Tosh asks Tina to run her a bath; while Tosh is changing, Tina vows to help Sonia fix everything and quietly sneaks her out the flat.
