Whitney is paralysed with fear when Rob returns to Walford wanting her forgiveness - will she be able to escape his clutches a second time? Dot makes a decision about her future.

When Whitney sees Ryan and Lauren together, she calls them pathetic. Whitney heads to the park to meet Lee, and is shocked to see Rob. Rob insists he鈥檚 only come to say goodbye before going to Manchester, his mum鈥檚 got cancer. While Rob鈥檚 getting her a drink, Whitney texts Lee and realises she鈥檚 been set up when Rob鈥檚 phone beeps. Later, thinking he鈥檚 persuaded her to come to Manchester, Rob escorts Whitney home. Inside, Whitney phones Ryan but, busy kissing Lauren, he doesn鈥檛 answer. Panicking, Whitney escapes through the back door and runs in front of Phil鈥檚 Jag. She climbs into the car and a furious Rob watches her being driven away. In Southend, Whitney leaves Rob a voicemail; she never wants to see him again. Whitney explains what鈥檚 happened to Fatboy. They have fun at the fairground, but at a table underneath one of the rides Rob listens to Whitney鈥檚 message - he鈥檚 followed her.

In preparation for the 80鈥檚 convention, Heather鈥檚 painted a banner, had t-shirts printed and made a mix tape (which Shirley destroys). Arriving in Southend, Shirley鈥檚 furious to discover they鈥檝e come to a lesbian and gay convention. Without Shirley, the bouncer, Andrew, won鈥檛 let Heather into the couples welcome dinner. However Shirley returns and, impressed by Heather, Andrew decides to let them in.

Dot鈥檚 had a CAT scan, she won鈥檛 get the results until Friday but is scared she鈥檚 dying. Fatboy suggests she start working through her 鈥榖ucket list鈥. Dot agrees to go to Southend. Fatboy persuades Shirley and Heather to let him and Dot travel with them in Phil鈥檚 Jag. In Southend, Dot tracks down her sister who鈥檚 drinking and flirting with a group of men in a run down bar. Dot leaves without speaking to her.
