Summary[]

Bianca is annoyed that no-one told her Natalie was back. Robbie tells Ricky to tell her if he knows what's good for him. Bianca tells Ricky that if anything has happened between him and Natalie then it's all over. She storms out to the café. Bianca tells Natalie to keep away or else. Lilly goes out. Dot and Josie organise a dinner party for her. Alex receives a letter from Gareth asking Lilly to visit. He interrupts the dinner party to give the letter to Lilly who is devastated. Melanie turns down Gianni, but Lisa persuades her to have dinner with him. All she can talk about on the date is Ian. Gianni takes her home totally drunk. Teresa has a heart to heart with Lenny about Matthew. She decides she will finish with him. Steve puts money into Annie's gym. Rosa apologises to Mick about the food poisoning. Phil won't open the night café again.

Lilly is still depressed after the attack. Josie won't let Dot see Doctor Fonseca. An argument ensues and eventually Doctor Fonseca emerges and tells Josie not to scare away his patients. Dot and Josie make up and decide to organise a meal to cheer Lilly up. Lilly is overjoyed with the surprise meal they have laid on for her - friendship does seem to be the best remedy.

Robbie urges Ricky to tell Bianca that Natalie is in Walford for good before she finds out for herself. Peggy is trying hard to make Bianca feel at home at the Vic, but it still doesn't seem to be working. Ricky tells Bianca that Natalie is back but lies about when he found out. Bianca erupts with anger. If he's lying to her she'll leave him for sure.

Teresa finds out from Lenny that Saskia wasn't Matthew's ex-girlfriend but Steve's and that in fact Matthew had only met her a couple of times. Teresa is fed up with Matthew and resolves to dump him. Matthew finds Teresa but she's furious that she's been lied to and storms off. Matthew hears that Teresa has dumped him - Steve offers reassurance.

Robbie tries to tell Bianca that nothing is going on between Ricky and Natalie but she's not convinced. Pat tells Bianca that Ricky worships the ground she walks on and if she doesn't stop taking him for granted and acting like a child then she'll lose him for good. Bianca apologises to Ricky, who tells her that she can rely on him.

Rosa offers Mick a peace offering for her mistake. Mick asks Phil whether he can re-open the night café but Phil says no - it's too much hassle.

Gianni asks Melanie out on a date but she turns him down. Lisa thinks she is mad. Melanie has a change of heart and agrees to a meal with Gianni. Melanie certainly seems to be taking a shine to the good Chianti, but Gianni notices that the conversation seems very centred around Ian. Melanie's had a bit too much to drink. Gianni has no option but to escort her home. Melanie hands Alex a letter from Gareth. He wants Lilly to visit him in prison. Alex gives Lilly the letter. She reacts badly - he's done enough already.
