Looks like someone's showing off
Looks like someone's showing off

Tanya has a pregnancy scare while Greg is unaware she has been taking the pill, while Abi and Jay reconcile and plan to get passionate, but not if Lola has anything to do with it.

While Janine flaunts her new wealth for all to see, Ricky is desperate and thinking of going back to Dubai. Pat begs him to stay, even begging Janine to give him money. Norman decides to contest Lydia’s will but Ricky’s mind is made up and he leaves almost as quickly as he announces his decision.

Tanya and Max get a scare as Tanya feels ill and Greg is overjoyed that she might be pregnant. She’s relieved when the test comes up negative and continues to hide her contraceptive pills from Greg, who has been secretly researching IVF behind her back. When Lauren comes home drunk, Greg has to deal with her. She knocks over Tanya’s bag and Greg finds the pills, but assumes they are Lauren's. Lauren then has to confront Tanya about why she is lying to Greg.

Vanessa tries desperately to hold onto Max, recognising a rift between them and suggests a holiday. Max shrugs it off and blames money but Vanessa is unconvinced and interrogates him over his banking transactions. When she is mugged outside the Vic, Max fails to come to her rescue.

Jay and Abi reconcile and they arrange a night of passion in The Arches. Abi finds it hard to get contraception and Lola seizes her chance to ruin their advances by laughing about Abi’s inexperience and boasting to Jay that she has bottled it. Abi confronts Jay about seeing Lola leave The Arches, but he explains she threw herself at him. They embrace but Abi confesses she is not ready. Jay takes this as a sign that she is not interested. Abi furiously demands that if that’s all he wants, he should ring Lola. He tells her he might without thinking and she angrily dumps him.

Elsewhere, Eddie finds out they have lost the work premises but on a tip from Carol, he finds a place and tells Tyler they are setting up shop in Walford. Denise offers to host a party for Bobby, but Ian takes her kindness a little too far.
