On Monday, Minty’s still reeling after walking in on Phil and Dawn together the previous day and is snappy towards his boss. When Phil leaves, Garry quizzes Minty as to why he’s in such a mood and Minty tells him that Phil doesn’t respect them as much as he should but Garry defends Phil, claiming that he’s a decent guy.

Dawn then bumps into Phil at the café but she’s paranoid that Garry might catch them together. Phil, however, is indifferent and he tells her they can cool things if she’s worried. Later in the day, Manda’s excited about her night out with Minty but he’s preoccupied with the knowledge of Phil and Dawn’s affair. Despite his best efforts, he’s unable to find the right moment to break the devastating news to Garry.

At the Vic, Minty attempts to talk to Phil but when he’s cornered by Shirley, he loses his chance. Meanwhile, at the flat, Manda’s preparing for her date with Minty and tells Dawn how lucky she is to have a man like Garry. When Manda leaves, Dawn’s mobile rings; it’s Phil. Dawn then lies and tells Garry that Phil’s called her into work, despite the fact that Garry’s prepared them a romantic meal.

Later, Manda suggests to Garry that he be more spontaneous with Dawn and at that moment, he grabs a rose and heads across to the Vic, much to Minty’s horror. Unable to find Dawn downstairs, Garry climbs the stairs calling her name, while in the living room, Phil and Dawn scramble to get dressed…

Meanwhile, Shirley’s becoming more and more concerned about Heather’s strange behaviour, especially when she finds a packet of cigarettes hidden in the cupboard. Later, Heather’s nearly mugged and when Patrick helps gather her belongings off the floor, he notices a letter from the hospital. Heather lies that her appointment is to do with her asthma. When Shirley stops by the Minute Mart to buy some cigarettes, Patrick suggests that she should be more cautious smoking around Heather ‘in her condition’. Heading to the hospital, Shirley overhears a nurse talking about his patient who’s a George Michael fan. When she follows him, she’s gobsmacked to be led to the antenatal unit.

Elsewhere, Bradley’s on the hunt for a new job and asks Jack if he needs any help with the business. A preoccupied Jack later gives Roxy a letter for Ronnie to sign and she seizes the opportunity to tell Jack that she and Amy come as a package, causing him to fear that she’s just trying to come on to him again. Roxy also lies to Peggy and tells her that Ronnie’s got a new man.

Also, Janine tells Amira that she has to be out of the flat by the end of the day so Amira asks Syd about the room at her flat. However, despite the fact that Syd wants Bradley to move in with her, he does the decent thing and says Amira can have the room instead of him.

And finally, Patrick asks Peggy if she and their friends are game for a night out.

On Tuesday, Garry walks into the living room above the Vic to find Phil alone, completely unaware that Dawn’s hiding half-naked behind the door. While Garry asks Phil for advice on keeping Dawn interested, she takes the opportunity to slip out. She then returns to their flat and is confronted by Minty about her affair. Dawn admits that she has no idea what she’s playing at and says she doesn’t even love Phil. As Manda and Minty’s taxi arrives to take them out, Minty reminds Dawn that the next time Garry’s car is found at the top of a cliff, it won’t be a misunderstanding. Then, on arriving at the hotel, Minty’s frustrated to find that it’s a twin room but undeterred, he attempts to switch to a double.

When Manda returns to the room, he asks why she specifically booked twin beds. Manda claims that she thought that he had cold feet and maintains that he probably sees her as ‘old stock’ anyway. With that in mind, Minty takes off her specs and passionately kisses her. Later, squashed into a single bed and post coital, Manda talks about her son Adam and insists that she never intended him to be a secret. With that, Minty confesses all about Dawn’s affair with Phil and Garry’s previous attempted suicide. Shocked by the revelations, Manda tells Minty to call a taxi.

Returning to the flat, Garry walks in having taken Dawn to the Car Lot as she’s going to stay with her mum for a while. Bolting across the Square to catch her, Minty calls Dawn a coward for running away from her problems, but she shoots him down, saying that she’s getting the brunt of his anger because he won’t stand up to Phil.

Meanwhile, Shirley demands to know if the nurse has a Heather Trott on his books. Heather mouths to him that she’s not there, before tearfully apologising for her friend’s behaviour. A livid Shirley barges back in and demands to know why she wasn’t told about the pregnancy.

Back at the flat, Heather admits that she’s five months gone and is having a baby girl. After an emotional and heated conversation about motherhood, they’re interrupted by the nurse who has the scan photo. Heather’s ecstatic at the prospect of becoming a mum, but Shirley shocks her when she says she should have her baby adopted.

Elsewhere, Peggy and Pat discuss plastic surgery and Mo – who’s gate crashed Peggy, Pat and Patrick’s evening – makes a call to her friend Marilyn.

Finally, Roxy discovers Dawn’s skirt and asks Phil about it but she’s soon distracted when she gets a worrying text message.

On Thursday, duing breakfast, Roxy receives another mysterious text message from someone wanting to see her as Peggy lectures her about giving Amy a proper father figure. Peggy then sets off the burglar alarm at the Vic as she’s forgotten the code and she’s forced to run through the market in her dressing gown to find Minty. On her way back, she bumps into a handsome older man who she takes a shine to.

After seeing Mo with a leaflet for ‘facial fillers’, Peggy makes a call to the cosmetic surgeons to ask for a quote. Roxy, however, isn’t impressed but later, Peggy’s interested when she hears Mo talking about ‘Marilyn’s Facial Fillers’.

Peggy turns up at the Slaters’ to talk to Mo about Marilyn’s facial treatments and while there, she encounters Pat and an argument ensues when Mo reveals that there’s only enough facial filler for one. Pat, however, rumbles Mo’s scam – Marilyn’s not really 62, she’s actually in her 40s. Outside, Peggy bumps into the good-looking stranger from earlier on and she walks away smiling. Later, the same guy turns up in the Vic and Peggy turns on the charm.

The burglar alarm is set off again though and when Peggy turns it off, she’s stunned to turn around to find Archie on the stairs. Menacingly, he says: “Hello Peggy…”

Meanwhile, Shirley’s serving breakfast while talking down to Heather about her baby plans. On returning from the shop with cereal soon after, Shirley finds that Heather’s disappeared and while the expectant mother’s out, a lady from the adoption agency calls at the flat as Shirley’s arranged her visit. Later, at the chippy, Heather tells Shirley that she’s having her baby and won’t give it up. When Shirley refers to the unborn child as a “mistake”, a raging Heather bolts out the door and heads back to the flat to pack her bags. Later on in the pub, Shirley arrives and surprisingly pledges her support. Thrilled by her best friend’s change of heart, Heather agrees to return home.

Elsewhere, Denise shows Lucas a key to a caravan she’s hired for a short break but when she and Lucas receive a phone call from Jordan’s school saying that he’s been skipping classes, Jordan admits that he’s been going to see Trina and wants to move in with her permanently.

Also, Janine turns up on Pat’s doorstep hoping to stay for a while, but Pat turns her down. Meanwhile, after seeing a poster for a children’s talent contest, the wicked Janine threatens to hurt Terrence if Tiffany doesn’t enter the contest.

Finally, Minty still can’t bring himself to tell Garry about Dawn and Phil and Manda reluctantly agrees to let Dawn and Garry sort their own problems out.

On Friday, Peggy’s in shock at Archie’s sudden return and she throws him out of the pub as the locals watch. When Roxy turns up, Peggy realises that she was the one who invited her father back to Walford. Furious, Peggy tries to make the point that she’s moved on since his departure and heads over to the handsome stranger called Hugo who she’d previously been flirting with. Hugo, however, admits that he’s not living locally and that he’s a letting agent – Archie’s letting agent. Archie takes pleasure in revealing that he’s letting one of Hugo’s houses. Livid, Peggy storms off.

Archie follows Peggy upstairs but she suggests that he leaves before Phil returns. Archie, however, begins to cry and Roxy jumps to her dad’s defence. Fuming that Roxy orchestrated Archie’s return, Peggy begins packing her niece’s belongings before throwing her out with her dad. Taking cover in their new home, Archie confesses to his daughter that he’s been depressed on his own. Later, attempting to talk Peggy round, Roxy returns to the Vic and pleads with her to give her dad a second chance. Peggy doesn’t want to know and demands that Roxy leave her keys on the bar and go.

Later, Peggy has a heart-to-heart with Pat who points out that it must mean something that she’s kept her wedding ring. Pat also suggests that Peggy should be honest with herself about her true feelings for her husband. Peggy’s fuming by Pat’s suggestion and throws her out, but it’s not long before she calls Roxy and agrees to meet with Archie but only on her terms.

Meanwhile, Heather tells Shirley that Minty’s the father of her baby. Shirley, however, arranges for Minty to be in the Vic at lunchtime but she’s not impressed when Manda turns up too. Shirley verbally attacks Minty before knocking him to the ground with a single punch. With that, Heather announces that Minty isn’t the father of her child and the pub falls silent as Heather breaks down.

While suggestions as to the father’s identity fly up and down the bar, Heather confirms that she’s having a baby girl and that it’s due in November. She also insists that nobody on the Square knows the father. Heather storms out of the Vic and goes to the Launderette. While there, Manda calls in and pledges her support. Despite the day’s events, Shirley continues to question Heather about the father back at the flat, but a frustrated Heather walks out.

Elsewhere, Jordan prepares to leave home to live with Trina but he goes missing following an argument with his dad, following which Trina accuses Denise and Lucas of being careless with Jordan. Later, in the café, Trina tells Jordan that it’s only a matter of time before his dad joins them. Lucas meanwhile is infuriated by Trina’s behaviour and goes to call Social Services, but Denise reminds him that they need to keep her sweet to secure his divorce.

Finally, Jane argues with Ian that a children’s talent show with a cash prize is wrong and is later disgusted to see that Ian’s dressed Bobby up as a cowboy for the show.
