Tosh's paranoia about Tina intensifies. It's Peter's 21st birthday and wanting to feel closer to Lucy, he takes a risk. Mick struggles to come to terms with Linda's decision.
Tina sits on her bed looking at flats in Croydon on her laptop. She鈥檚 unsure about moving but Tosh is persistent. Tina finds Shirley and Aunt Babe sat in the Vic before opening and informs them she鈥檚 thinking of moving to Croyden with Tosh. Babe asks if this decision is due to Sonia. Tina insists that Tosh is paranoid and nothing has happened. Shirley is convinced that Tosh is pushing Tina to move against her will.
Tina鈥檚 hurt by Shirley鈥檚 negativity. She heads over to the caf茅, late for work and finds Carol cleaning the tables outside. Carol suggests she goes to see Sonia as she and Martin have split up. Tosh heads into the Vic and Babe congratulates her on the new job. She gives Tosh back the watch saying that she was mistaken - it must be some other woman鈥檚. Tosh leaves, confused. Her face darkens as, across the Square, she spots Tina entering the Butchers鈥� and greeting Sonia with a hug. Shirley is worried about what Babe has insinuated. Babe promises to tell Tosh that it isn鈥檛 Sonia鈥檚, but as she steps outside she deliberately walks away without saying a word to Tosh. At the Butchers鈥�, Tina comforts Sonia about Martin and offers to pawn a necklace in order to help pay back the charity money.
Sonia鈥檚 sad to hear she鈥檚 moving to Croydon. Later, Babe follows Tosh to No 91A and waits outside. Tina is in the bedroom collecting the necklace when a grim faced Tosh enters. Tina explains what she wants to do for Sonia; Tosh bristles that Tina鈥檚 pawning a necklace she gave her. Anxious, Tina suggests they look for a flat right now and goes into the kitchen to get her laptop. Tosh confronts Tina about Sonia鈥檚 watch and accuses Tina of sleeping with her. Fearful, Tina apologises and tries to explain. Tosh becomes aggressive and pulls her hair, then throws Tina to the floor. Tina scrabbles away from Tosh, terrified. Babe hears screaming from outside and bangs on the door. There is a thud and then silence. Babe panics and rings Mick for help. Tina comes stumbling out of the door, a beaten and bloody mess. Babe holds Tina on the steps as she sobs.
It鈥檚 Peter鈥檚 twenty-first birthday. Tamwar and Masood give him his present 鈥� a shirt gift voucher. At the Beales鈥�, Cindy asks what they are going to do to celebrate but Ian is impassive. Jane tries to get through to Ian, who has decided to attend Pam鈥檚 choir practice tonight. Cindy and Bobby find Peter buying flowers from Pam for Lucy鈥檚 grave. They use Bobby鈥檚 lunch money to buy two more bunches and go with him. They bump into Lauren and Abi; the tension between Lauren and Peter is palpable. Ben gives Peter a birthday card which plays 鈥榟appy birthday鈥� when he opens it. Peter looks to Lauren - it鈥檚 their song. Cindy suggests they all do something to celebrate and Ben suggests they use the Albert.
Lauren tells Peter she won鈥檛 make it. Cindy tells Jane and Ian about the party. Later at the Albert, Bobby gives Peter his present - a Ferrari experience day. Cindy tells him it鈥檚 what Lucy said she鈥檇 get him. Struggling, Peter leaves the party - he spots Ian through the community centre window looking sombre. Masood heads home looking for Peter and comes across the bag of cocaine in the living room. Peter snatches the bag back and walks out 鈥� it鈥檚 what Lucy would be doing if she was alive. Later, a manic Peter heads for the Beales鈥� and bangs on the door, shouting that Ian鈥檚 a hypocrite. Jane tries to calm Peter; he accidentally punches his hand through the window, smashing the glass. Inside, Ian sits on the stairs trying to block the noise out.
When Mo broaches the subject of Christmas in Lanzarote, Kat points out they lost their passports in the fire and she needs the money Charlie sent to fund Christmas. Later, Mo reveals she still has her passport and pleads to go alone. After a lucrative day on the stall, Kat tells Mo to go - she can support her family alone.
On the Square, Ben has fixed Johnny鈥檚 moped, much to Linda鈥檚 dismay. Later, sheepish Johnny returns home injured from taking a corner too fast. Linda fusses over him as Mick watches. Later, Mick tells Linda she was right about Johnny鈥檚 moped and asks her to talk about the baby; Linda maintains she can鈥檛 go through with the pregnancy.
