This time last year we had Stacey's return and Janine and Alice's trial over Michael Moons death about to begin, hard to believe that was only a year ago.
Synopsis
Spoiler
Mo and Stacey are concerned about Kat's decision to accept Harry's inheritance money, which has left her surprisingly upbeat. Stacey asks Kat to consider whether she is making the right decision, but will her words get through to Kat?
Later, Kat suffers a setback when she discovers all of her stock being stolen from her stall. Aleks is unable to help and tells her that she has lost the pitch. Back home, Mo secretly retrieves Kat's letter to Harry's solicitor, but what does she have planned?
Meanwhile, Billy has some new business ideas for Les and also asks for a pay rise, but he doesn't get the response that he was hoping for. Billy also soon spots some suspicious invoices and realises that something isn't right with the business. When Billy confronts him, Les is forced to come clean. Billy goes on to drop a hint to Pam that something might be wrong.
Once Pam heads home, a mystery woman arrives at the funeral parlour and Les gives her a gift that he bought earlier. Who is she?
Elsewhere, Sonia confronts a hungover Carol about her behaviour, but their row is interrupted when they learn that Liam has skipped school. Carol heads to the Beale house and finds Liam with Cindy. She is angry at first, but then surprises Sonia by letting him stay. When Sonia tries to get to the bottom of her strange behaviour, Carol finally breaks down.
Also today, Shabnam informs Kush that she is ready to share the news of their relationship with Masood and Tamwar. However, Shabnam changes her mind again after talking to Stacey, which leaves Kush annoyed.
Finally, Tamwar asks Kush for some advice on Nancy. Later on, he offers to cook Nancy lunch.
