Angered by Roxy’s betrayal, Michael continues to wind Alfie up and unable to take any more, Alfie heads out of The Vic to confront Ronnie.

In The Arches, Phil isn’t impressed that Ronnie is moving in with Jack, however she is adamant it’s the right thing to do. As she leaves, she is faced with a furious Alfie who asks Ronnie to tell him the truth about how often she and Roxy have seen each other. Ronnie tells him that she is sorry for the past but she is family too and he’ll have to get used to it. Raging, Alfie walks away.

Kat is shocked when Alfie admits that Roxy has been seeing Ronnie behind his back. Kat sympathises and asks him not to take what happened between them out on Roxy.

Roxy returns to the pub and as she embraces Alfie, she notices missed calls and a text from Ronnie on her mobile. Roxy looks at the message – ‘Alfie knows’. As Alfie starts to pack a suitcase for her, Roxy begs him to stop, promising she’ll never see Ronnie again. Roxy starts to sob, promising she’ll do anything for him and Alfie’s heart breaks. He tells her that he won’t leave her but seeing as they can’t go on like this, they are going to leave Walford until they are back on track. That night, Roxy is heartbroken as their cab leaves the Square and her sister behind.
