It’s the engagement party for Lauren and Peter Beale (Thomas Law), but Lauren is anxious after their recent midwife appointment raised concerns about possible complications.

During the party, Lauren’s worries persist, and she seeks comfort in the office following an ill-timed comment from Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt).

Kathy To The Rescue

Kathy steps in to help, allowing Lauren to rejoin the festivities, but her joy is fleeting when Cindy shows up.

The guests are taken aback by Cindy’s unexpected return, prompting Peter to try and ease the tension-however, Lauren gives Peter an ultimatum: it’s either her or Cindy.

The Beales and Knights turn their backs on Cindy, but she strikes back by exposing Kathy’s secrets! In the wake of her guilt, Kathy seeks comfort from her secret partner, Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman), but they nearly get caught by Jean.

Ross Marshall (Alex Walkinshaw) confesses to his partner Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig); while they both look for jobs, Ross is preoccupied with their son Joel Marshall’s (Max Murray) fixation on his phone.

Vicki tries to ease the tension, but Ross dismisses her assistance, indicating he doesn’t want her parenting advice, which prompts Vicki to walk away. Eventually, the couple reconciles, but Ross then reveals a shocking truth about their financial troubles.

He explains the real reason behind their departure from Australia, leaving Vicki stunned and causing her to leave again. Ross tries to apologize, but Vicki isn’t ready to forgive; what shocking revelation does Ross share with her?

Meanwhile, Nicola’s elder son, Harry Mitchell (Elijah Holloway), wakes up with a hangover at The Arches.

Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) attempts to lift Linda’s spirits, but she becomes increasingly worried about her mother, Elaine Knight (Harriet Thorpe), in light of the community’s response.

As the 80th anniversary of VE Day approaches, Nigel is eager to commemorate the significant occasion, but it quickly becomes clear that he is under the impression that it is still 1995.
