Mick tries to hand out vouchers for the Queen Vic's new drinks promotion, but he becomes paranoid that people are avoiding him and his anxiety causes him to snap at Fatboy. Dean recognises that the new promotion is important to Linda, so he whips together a crowd to attend the pub. The only problem is that people start to leave to go home and watch the televised police appeal, so Linda takes immediate action by airing it at the pub.

When the appeal is screened, everyone sees that the police are asking for witnesses to come forward who were on a bus with Lucy on the night that she died - in particular a man in a beanie hat who was sitting behind her and got off at the same stop. Soon afterwards, Phil rants at the punters for watching the appeal at the pub, claiming that it's a disgrace to see real-life tragedy being viewed as entertainment.

Meanwhile, Whitney and Abi notice Dean checking out Lauren at the pub, so they convince her to go and talk to him. Dean spots that Linda is watching and decides to flirt back with Lauren, causing a jealous Peter to make his excuses and leave.

Elsewhere, Linda warns Dean to stop hitting on her, but they later end up alone when Linda is upset following the day's events. A drunken Dean tries his luck and kisses Linda, but how will she respond?

Also today, Ian tells Phil the truth by confessing that he saw Rainie on Good Friday. He admits that Rainie is still blackmailing him, so Phil declares that Rainie is a problem that needs to be dealt with.

Finally, Sharon is conflicted when she sees Phil's loyalty and kindness towards Ian. She wonders whether she can really go ahead with her revenge plan.
