Builders turn up at the café to begin the restoration work, leaving Kathy, Suki, Stacey and Linda in a panic. Stacey sees Linda spiralling and urges her to see that all of their futures depend on her staying sober.
Suki persuades the builders to down tools, but she knows that she and the rest of the women will have to move Keanu’s body quickly. They discuss tactics and Suki receives a call that could change everything.
Meanwhile, a newly-released Lauren arrives back on the Square and looks forward to being reunited with Louie. Peter convinces Lauren to stay for longer than she’d planned, but she changes her mind when she finds out that Peter knew Penny’s secret and didn’t tell her.
Linda worries that Lauren will find out the truth about Annie’s paternity. Whitney promises to keep quiet, but just as Lauren is about to leave in a taxi with Louie, Sonia approaches and tells her that she has another sister in Walford.
Elsewhere, Amy questions Denise’s commitment to the Branning family.
Also today, Lily struggles with the adjustment of being back at school and having less time with Charli.
