Kat is shocked by the arrival of an unexpected visitor. When Ian's behaviour reaches a new low, he is called on his misplaced priorities. And Linda devises a drastic plan.

Stacey rails at Kat for leaving the letter鈥� if Kat was really worried, she鈥檇 have left her well alone. Kat points out that Stacey鈥檚 supposed to be hiding abroad but has set up life with a man half an hour away. Alfie鈥檚 angry when he learns exactly what Kat鈥檚 been up to; Kat apologises for lying. Kat tells Stacey she shouldn鈥檛 be with someone she can鈥檛 tell the truth to; Stacey insists Luke knows everything he can about her. Stacey learns that Janine鈥檚 in prison and asks after Jean. Stacey鈥檚 still sure she can鈥檛 have her old life back. Alone in the kitchen, Kat and Alfie argue. Alfie鈥檚 unhappy to have someone the police are looking for in their home. Stacey overhears Alfie reminding Kat she鈥檚 pregnant and congratulates her. After introducing herself to Tommy as Stacey, Stacey flees, she can鈥檛 do this. Outside, Stacey dodges everyone she recognises, eventually ducking into the Vic alleyway to avoid Max. Mick finds her and Stacey introduces herself as Jenny. Realising she鈥檚 upset, Mick takes her inside and makes her a cup of tea. Lauren鈥檚 shocked when she walks into the Vic living room and sees Stacey. Stacey begs Lauren not to say anything and runs off, promising she won鈥檛 come back. Whitney, Johnny and Max are bemused when Lauren returns to the bar and then walks out without saying anything. Back home, Lauren covers when Max asks if she鈥檚 alright. Meanwhile, Stacey returns home to Luke and acts normally but when he鈥檚 in the shower she tells Lily they鈥檙e leaving鈥�

Jane wonders whether Bobby鈥檚 really enjoyed Ian鈥檚 intense spelling coaching. During the spelling bee, Bobby struggles with the word 鈥榓ssumption鈥� and is disqualified when Ian starts prompting him from the audience. Jane鈥檚 furious with Ian and her anger increases when a panicked Bobby asks if she鈥檚 leaving, revealing Ian said she鈥檇 stay longer if he won. Ian doesn鈥檛 think what he said was so wrong. He asks Jane to come back to Walford and invest in Scarlett鈥檚. Ian then admits Janine鈥檚 selling her share and he doesn鈥檛 want a stranger to buy it. Jane decides to go to the B&B after accusing Ian of now only caring about money - he used to also care about family and community. As she leaves, Jane announces she鈥檚 taking Bobby to live in Cardiff with her.

Aunt Babe realises the Carters have money worries. Mick tells Linda not to wreck their trip to see Les Mis茅rables by worrying about the market. Inspired by the show, Linda decides the locals should protest. Johnny asks Lauren and Whitney to join him to make signs for the protest. When Lauren heads off to find scissors and cardboard, Johnny assures Whitney she鈥檚 still his favourite. Linda thanks Whitney for helping. Abi鈥檚 annoyed when Linda won鈥檛 allow Tramp in the pub because he took advantage of Lady Di. Abi鈥檚 outraged when Linda reveals she wants to breed Lady Di for money.

Masood realises Shabnam鈥檚 upset at the thought of him dating. He apologises, acknowledging it must be strange for her to be in the house without Zainab. Whilst admitting he鈥檒l always love Zainab, Masood鈥檚 clear that she鈥檚 part of his past, they鈥檙e both moving on. Shabnam reveals she鈥檚 got an interview at the Turpin Road pharmacy tomorrow - working on the tills but still relevant to her pharmacy degree. Masood鈥檚 thrilled, it would mean she could do a conversion course. Shabnam says with Masood鈥檚 smart new look the ladies at the mosque should watch out. Masood tells her he can think of many women who could make him happy who are nothing like Zainab or Carol.
