The Beales are informed of the latest developments in Lucy's murder investigation. Lee discovers Tina's secret scheme, Jay is stunned when he learns what Max has been up to.
On Bridge Street, Peter watches DI Keeble approach the Beales鈥� with DS Bryant. Billy鈥檚 nervous, convinced they鈥檙e going to tell Ian about his argument with Lucy, and notes the market bin bags haven鈥檛 been collected. At the Beales鈥�, Keeble explains that DCI Irving has been reassigned and, due to new witness statements, Jake is being released. Peter鈥檚 frustrated. Ian struggles to accept that Jake鈥檚 innocent and despairs they鈥檒l never catch Lucy鈥檚 killer. Keeble insists they have new leads and are still searching for Lucy鈥檚 phone and purse.
Outside, Lola convinces a nervy Billy to take Janet to his allotment. Inside, Keeble鈥檚 unimpressed when Emma rushes in late. Once Keeble and Bryant depart, Ian questions Emma about the new witness. Peter recalls seeing Emma in Walford yesterday. Meanwhile, on the allotments, Patrick鈥檚 woken by Janet squirting him with a plant spray. Stressed, Billy snaps at Janet. Patrick鈥檚 concerned for him. At the Beales鈥�, Emma regrets she can鈥檛 reveal who the new witness is or she鈥檒l lose her job. Billy breathes a sigh of relief when Lola phones with the all clear.
Later, Mick arrives to pick Ian up for a swimming lesson. Ian tells him Jake鈥檚 been released and wonders how Mick coped with Lee being away 鈥� not knowing what happened to your child is the worst thing imaginable. Torn, Mick tells Ian to sit down. Billy鈥檚 enjoying a drink with Patrick and Janet in the Vic when Ian storms in, demanding to know what Billy鈥檚 hiding and goes for him, convinced he鈥檚 got Lucy鈥檚 phone and purse. Ian鈥檚 held back by Patrick and Mick while Phil ushers Billy out. Billy leaves Janet with Whitney at the Butchers鈥� and sets out to tell Peter himself, oblivious to Ian watching him from the Square gardens.
Billy heads for home, conscious of people staring as he heads down Bridge Street. He clocks the market bin bags finally being loaded into a rubbish truck, and breaks into a run. At the flat, Peter鈥檚 hugging Lola and apologizing for his recent moody behaviour when Billy bursts in. Misunderstanding, Billy gabbles he wanted to tell Peter himself, to Lola鈥檚 horror. Ian enters to find a raging Peter pinning Billy against the wall. Now calm, Ian pulls Peter off, insisting they deal with things properly, and demands Billy explain himself. Billy tells Ian, Denise and Peter the full story and explains Lucy was disgusted with him for stealing fish from Ian - he didn鈥檛 tell the police because he was ashamed.
Billy breaks down in tears, pleading that he couldn鈥檛 commit murder for the sake of a part time job. Ian relents, agreeing Billy can keep his job, but no longer trusts himself to judge who killed Lucy - that鈥檚 for the police to decide. That night, a hole is dug on Billy鈥檚 allotment and Lucy鈥檚 phone and purse are thrown into the hole before it鈥檚 filled in.
Mick thinks it鈥檚 a shame Linda鈥檚 got rid of her new hairstyle. Linda claims the photo-shoot made her feel old. Later, Dean brings Linda the group photo from the shoot. Linda stiffly informs him not to touch her again. Dean heads off, leaving the photo on the bar. Later, Mick surprises an unhappy Linda with the photo, now framed, up on the kitchen wall.
Jay fusses that Abi will be late for East London University鈥檚 open day and Abi accuses him of being biased, although Jay claims he doesn鈥檛 mind which Uni she attends. Lauren arrives with a surprise announcement 鈥� she鈥檚 moving home. Later, after rowing all day, Jay鈥檚 convinced Abi will go to Liverpool. On Phil鈥檚 advice, Jay slips in the back door to leave Abi some apology chocolates and is stunned to see Max locked in a passionate embrace with Emma Summerhayes.
On Bridge Street, Lee attempts to stealthily follow Whitney to the caf茅 and asks her out for a drink but Whitney鈥檚 immune to his charms. Tina offers to reveal the secret to winning a girl over in exchange for help at the caf茅. During the shift, Lee comes across Tina鈥檚 stash of weed. Tina explains she鈥檚 dealing to raise money to have a family and swears him to secrecy. Lee鈥檚 disappointed when Tina laughs she normally wins a girl over by getting her boobs out.
