Roxy sits at her laptop searching properties in Essex but Dean tells her that if they move it will look like they are running away. If anyone should move it should be Ronnie. They ignore the doorbell and Shirley comes out of the shower fuming. Lee’s present was supposed to arrive and now it needs to be picked up from the depot. Dean says he will get it and the doorbell rings again. Roxy opens the door to Ronnie who apologises for her behaviour. Roxy tells Ronnie that she should be the one to leave the Square. Ronnie asks to be alone with her sister but Roxy is adamant that anything she has to say can be said in front of Dean. Dean tells her that she will have to kill him before he leaves Roxy and that Ronnie hasn’t got the bottle to take him on.

Ronnie returns home and takes her pills out of the kitchen bin. Billy comes in asking for the salon equipment to be moved and sees the pills. He tells her that he knows someone who OD’d on them and fell asleep for a couple of days. She tells him about her run in with Dean and Billy jokingly says that if it were Phil he’d kill him. Ronnie takes this idea in but Billy reiterates that he was only joking. Later Ronnie heads to Blades to invite Roxy and Dean out to lunch to discuss buying Roxy out of the house. She tells Roxy that she is thinking of seeing a councillor and Roxy accepts the invitation. Billy returns to Ronnie’s to ask for a loan on behalf of Honey but she tells him she’s busy and expecting visitors. Billy worries Dean may be in danger. Ronnie calls Dean to tell him that there has been a change of plan and that they are going to have lunch at hers. She pours out two gin and tonics and hands one to Dean when he arrives. She sits watching him sip from the glass. He falters and says that there are bits in his drink. She smirks at him and tells him it must be the pills she crushed in it…
