On Monday, while Ronnie’s collecting Roxy up from the airport, Jack walks into the Vic and is taken aback to see a huge congratulations banner for his and Ronnie’s supposed engagement. Peggy’s excitement turns to annoyance however when she learns that Jack hasn’t yet popped the question.

Back at the flat, Max questions Jack as to why he’s stalling for time to propose, insinuating that he’s scared of a possible rejection. With his conscience pricked, Jack goes out and buys a huge bunch of flowers. On Roxy’s return, she sees that the pub’s decked out for her sister’s engagement party. Peggy attempts to prevent Ronnie from entering the pub but while on the phone to Jack, she walks into her own party. With that, she demands that Jack get to the pub immediately.

It’s an awkward moment for Jack as he walks into the Vic. With the locals looking on, Jack makes his way across the room to Ronnie, before going on bended-knee and asking her to marry him. Ronnie, however, tells him to “forget it” and rushes upstairs where she locks herself in the kitchen. Jack listens as Ronnie insists that she’s never been so embarrassed and, apologising, Jack reaffirms his love for her. Downstairs, Jack walks back into the bar looking dejected, but Ronnie surprises everyone when she announces that she’s to become a Branning.

Back home, Ronnie and Jack prepare to celebrate though while Jack pours the champagne, Ronnie goes to the bathroom to retrieve a condom and proceeds to pierce holes in it – but Jack walks in on her as she’s doing it.

Meanwhile, Ian and Jane return from Scotland to find the café boarded up so Christian’s forced to explain about the explosion. Jane’s not impressed that Christian went ahead with the renovations without the OK from the insurance company and is then mortified to discover that the café wasn’t actually insured.

Also, Jordan skips school to see his mum, but Lucas insists that she’s not a very good mother and that he should stay away from her. He and Trina later argue on the Square and Lucas demands she agree to the divorce.

Finally, Syed attempts to forget about his kiss with Christian – but Christian tells Amira that he kissed a “new man” on Friday – and Minty tries to take Manda back to his for ‘coffee’ but again, she declines.

On Tuesday, as Ronnie stands with a pin and condom in her hands, she’s stunned to be confronted by Jack. At first, she claims that the pin was to fix her trousers, but quickly admits that she was stupidly about to pierce the condom. Jack initially storms off but he soon returns to Ronnie who says that she’ll pack her belongings and leave.

Naively, Jack believes that there’s been no harm done since it was only the first time and in no time, they’re back to where they were prior to the interruption. Later in bed, their conversation turns to having children and the debate becomes heated, with Ronnie demanding that they start a family together.

Ronnie thaws slightly and decides to show Jack the baby items she’s already bought. Pulling a box from beneath the bed, Jack’s horrified by what he sees and suggests that Ronnie seek help.

Thinking about walking in on Ronnie earlier in the evening as she prepared to pierce the condom, Jack asks her to look him in the eyes and admit that it was the first time she’d attempted such a stunt. When she can’t, Jack loses his temper and accuses her of being manipulative and just like her father, Archie. Jack walks out of the flat, leaving a distraught Ronnie on the doorstep.

Ronnie calls Roxy in a distressed state asking if she’s anything like their dad and after reassuring her sister that she isn’t, Roxy tells Christian that something’s not right with Ronnie. Out on the Square, Max hits a nerve with Jack when he reminds him that he’s not getting any younger and should probably have a child with Ronnie before it’s too late. Returning home to speak with Ronnie, he searches the flat but only finds her engagement ring on the coffee table. Outside, Ronnie drives off on her motorbike…

Elsewhere, Jordan tells Denise that Lucas doesn’t want him seeing Trina any longer so she confronts Lucas about why he hates Trina so much. Lucas then admits that he and Trina were heroin addicts and because of that, Jordan was born addicted to heroin. He also tells Denise that Trina left while Jordan was in the special care unit. Resolving to talk to Trina herself, Denise notes down her number from Jordan’s phone.

Finally, Christian tries to flirt with Syed but Syed insists that he’s ‘normal’ and tells Christian that their kiss was a mistake.

On Thursday, Denise catches Jordan on the phone trying to arrange a time to meet his mother so she suggests that they invite Trina round for dinner. While Denise is shopping at the Minute Mart, Patrick’s horrified to hear Denise’s plans to cook for Trina. Denise breaks the news to Lucas that she’s invited Trina over for a bite to eat, but he’s adamant that it’s a bad idea. However, Denise is determined that it’ll be good for Jordan and will allow Lucas to sort out their divorce. When Denise leaves, Lucas leaves a threatening voicemail on Trina’s phone, insisting that she not turn up at the house.

Later, Patrick expresses his anger at Lucas for allowing Denise to invite Trina round for the evening. Lucas, however, assures Patrick that he has the situation in-hand and that Trina won’t dare turn up.

As the evening draws on, the food’s cooked and there’s no sign of Trina, much to Jordan’s disappointment. The doorbell then rings and Jordan bolts to the door and leads Trina into the dining room. Lucas is livid and there’s a tense atmosphere over lunch. Soon after, Denise suggests that Trina help her son get ready for bed.

With Jordan in bed, Trina returns downstairs and Denise broaches the subject of the divorce. Trina’s taken aback by the suggestion, while Lucas insists that she knows he wants a divorce and wants her to sign the papers. Revelling in the situation, Trina takes pleasure in revealing to Denise that she was with Lucas at Christmas, sleeping with him and planning their future…

Elsewhere, Ian wonders how he can raise the cash to pay the builders for the refit so during a meeting with the Masoods, he reveals he wants to sell his stake in Masala Queen to pay for the work. However, Syed suggests that the company lend Ian the money he needs instead. Syed’s also determined to make Christian keep quiet over their kiss.

Meanwhile, Minty and Phil race to see who can fix a car the fastest with the winner getting to leave early. However, Minty’s upset later when he sees Manda leaving the community centre with two men.

Also, Jack frantically searches for Ronnie and Roxy questions him as to why Ronnie’s left her engagement ring behind. And finally, Max and Bradley are thrown out of their house so Max suggests that they move in with Dot, much to her dismay.

On Friday, Denise is outraged by Trina’s claims that she slept with Lucas at Christmas and asks him to throw her out. Outside, Trina pleads with Lucas that they’re meant to be together but he demands that she leave. Inside, Denise blames herself for the trouble as she invited Trina around in the first place. The following day, Patrick confronts Lucas in the soup kitchen and urges him to tell Denise the truth, but Lucas replies that he’s just as much of a liar as Trina is because he’d told Denise he hadn’t seen his ex for years.

Later, Lucas sits Jordan down and asks why he’s not at school. Jordan admits that he heard everyone shouting the previous night. Unfazed by the situation, Jordan admits to knowing that Lucas slept with Trina at Christmas. However, he promises to keep it a secret from Denise so that they can be a family. Meanwhile, over at the Vic, Denise is talking to Patrick about their new family unit but, overcome with guilt, Patrick reveals the truth – Lucas did sleep with Trina at Christmas and he’s known for months. Denise is stunned by the revelation and at that moment, Lucas walks in…

Meanwhile, Zainab rather reluctantly signs the Masala Queen agreement to loan Ian the money for the café refurbishment and to mark the occasion, Ian announces his intention to hold a dinner party. Later, the Masoods turn up en mass at the Beales’ and aren’t overly keen on Ian’s choice of delicacy – haggis but Christian saves the day when he arrives with a hoard of fish and chips. Afterwards, Christian, Syed and Amira head to the Vic for a drink and Syed looks extremely uncomfortable as Amira questions Christian if he’s bisexual. Syed urges Christian to leave but Christian tells him that he made a mistake threatening him and vows to tell Amira about their kiss.

Elsewhere, Roxy asks Jack what happened between him and Ronnie and when Jack admits that he compared his fiancé to Archie, Roxy reveals that it was bad timing as it would’ve been Danielle’s birthday. Also, Minty asks Darren to ensure the flat is free so that he can entertain Manda and later, Roxy receives a call from Ronnie who reveals that she has no intention of returning to Walford.
