Aleks feels guilty when he realises that he has forgotten about Ineta's birthday, so he organises a last-minute party with help from Roxy. The event gets off to a good start, but Roxy isn't pleased when Marta turns up and causes friction between her and Aleks.

Tension also continues to build between Roxy and Charlie when he arrives. Once they're alone, Charlie comes clean about how he really feels, which leaves Roxy feeling conflicted. She later visits Charlie to continue the conversation, but they are interrupted when Aleks turns up with some big news - Ronnie is talking and wants to speak to Roxy...

Meanwhile, the Carters grieve following the news of Stan's death. Shirley goes to visit Dean in prison, but the situation leads to her and Mick growing even further apart. Buster takes the lead in breaking the news of Stan's death to Dean, but it's clear that Dean is struggling to cope with life behind bars and an emotional Shirley ends up rushing out.

Later, Cora arrives at The Vic and is furious as she was unaware that Stan had passed away and went to the hospice. When Cora angrily makes some accusations, Mick snaps. As the day continues, Tina urges Mick to make his peace with Shirley and he promises to try. However, when Mick tries to raise a glass for Stan, a drunken Shirley causes a commotion. Has she gone too far?

Elsewhere, Carol clashes with Sonia when she reveals that Martin has lost the house. Carol later reveals that she will be planning Jim's funeral despite their history of ill-feeling. With Les away, Pam asks Billy to step up as acting manager and plan both funerals.

Also today, Masood is concerned about Tamwar's love life and seeks some help from Aunt Fatima, but Shabnam worries when she gets the wrong end of the stick.
