Linda holds a ladies' night at the Vic. Ian has a surprise for Kathy.

Linda鈥檚 stressed for the darts march with the team from The Bull, and isn鈥檛 happy that darts novice Honey is standing in for Sharon. Mick notes Linda鈥檚 wearing her nan鈥檚 necklace for luck. Lee wonders how much the pub takings will be tonight; Mick鈥檚 sure they鈥檒l be making a big donation to the Women and Children鈥檚 unit at the hospital. Lee suggests going home early but Whitney can鈥檛 as Linda will need her for Ladies Night. Linda takes her final throw, scores a bullseye and wins the match. The team celebrates during Ladies Night and the women are soon drunk. The cackling girls discuss men; they think Ronnie has a keeper in Jack, and toast to the wedding. Shirley ridicules Carmel鈥檚 name. Carmel retaliates and gives as good as she gets, to Shirley鈥檚 amusement. Lee鈥檚 keen to be off at the end of the night, but Mick convinces him to have another celebratory drink for Linda. As Linda heads upstairs with the night鈥檚 takings, there鈥檚 a crash of breaking glass from the bar. Mick orders Whitney to phone the police and rushes in with Lee to find three figures in balaclavas demanding money. Mick lies the money鈥檚 been taken to the bank, but Lee blurts it鈥檚 upstairs.

As Mick tries to stop the men, Johnny rushes into the fray and gets hit by a baseball bat. The men force their way upstairs; Mick hands over the takings but they demand more. When Lee insists there is none, the thieves grab Linda鈥檚 necklace. Mick flies at them in rage. One of the men snatches Oliver from Whitney, halting Mick in his tracks. Two of the men flee while the remaining masked figure backs away with Oliver. Mick beseeches him to put him down. The man eventually relinquishes Oliver and bolts out of the pub. A sobbing Linda cradles Oliver as Lee stealthily pockets a wallet dropped by one of the men. Mick vows to find who did this and kill them.

At No. 45, Ian compliments Jane鈥檚 hair as Stacey helps her get ready for Ladies Night. Kathy鈥檚 delighted by Ian鈥檚 announcement 鈥� he鈥檚 renaming the caf茅 鈥楰athy鈥檚鈥� and putting the old sign back up. At the Vic, Stacey thinks Ian鈥檚 earlier compliment to Jane is a good sign. Jane flippantly claims he just felt obligated. Stacey reminds Jane that her own opinion of herself is more important than Ian鈥檚. Later, during a discussion about marriage, Kim slurs that Jane and Ian are soul mates Tipsy Kathy decides to fetch her neon 鈥楰athy鈥檚 sign, to the girls鈥� amusement. Jane buys her first round since she was injured; she鈥檚 flattered when a man from The Bull offers to buy her drinks and tells her she鈥檚 beautiful. Later, a drunk Kathy wheels Jane and the caf茅 sign back to No. 45 to find Ian waiting for them. Kathy declares she wants to be a Beale again. Jane excitedly tells Ian about the man who bought their drinks; Ian鈥檚 immediately jealous. Jane confesses it was wonderful to feel attractive and boldly asks why Ian isn鈥檛 kissing her. Ian beams and kisses Jane tenderly.

At the Walford Players meeting in the caf茅, Derek wants to talk casting. Carmel thinks Scrooge could be played by a woman. Denise is adamant the part is Patrick鈥檚 and Derek suggests Carmel play one of the ghosts. Later, at No. 20, Derek and Denise are brainstorming script ideas when Patrick announces he can鈥檛 play Scrooge - he thinks Denise鈥檚 script is wonderful but isn鈥檛 comfortable playing such a big part. Later, Denise shows Patrick a new, shorter version of the scene - the part of Scrooge belongs to Patrick and she鈥檒l do anything to make it work for him.

At No. 55, Sharon鈥檚 pleased to have Phil home from hospital. Bex tells Louise she took the naked photos but she鈥檚 too afraid to send them, and fears she鈥檚 upset Shakil - he鈥檚 not answering her text messages. Louise thinks Shakil should love Bex either way. Later, Louise finds a distraught Bex at No. 31 - Shakil hasn鈥檛 shown up to help her babysit. Louise hugs Bex as she cries. Back home, Louise confides in Sharon; Sharon thinks any boy pressuring a girl to do something isn鈥檛 worth it, and is proud when Louise states she wouldn鈥檛 send a boy photos.

Roxy comments on Jack鈥檚 enthusiastic support of Honey during the darts game. Jack suggests Roxy鈥檚 jealous because Ronnie didn鈥檛 ask her to fill in instead.
