Summary[]

Alfie confesses the wedding is a sham. Kat rages at him, but luckily his solicitor shows up with the divorce papers. Phil attacks Den but agrees to leave for a hefty price.

Kat is outraged to discover that her wedding is a farce and Ray is a mate of Alfie's.

Phil swings straight for Den when they come eye to eye in the club. Furniture and glasses shatter around the club as Den and Phil throw each other around the room until Den eventually flattens Phil to the floor with a chair leaving him in ultimate pain. Den tries to reason with Phil and offers him £200,000 for him to flee and leave him and his family alone. Dennis enters the club and is on the receiving end of Phil's fist when Dennis goes to plunge back. Den announces that the feud has come to a climax.

Tired of being perceived as cheap and feeling dirty, everything becomes all too much for Kat, and she breaks out into tears and locks herself in the bathroom.

Phil agrees to let go off the feud, for now, and takes the money and sets out to make his great escape. Dennis is chuffed when Den calls him his son for the first time.

As Alfie goes back down to the bar to tell everyone that the wedding is off, Lewis comes rushing through the crowd with Alfie's Absolute Decree. Alfie's chuffed to bits and persuades the registrar to marry him and Kat.

Phil's asked for Sam's help to escape, and Ricky is shocked to learn that he will be responsible for getting Phil out of Walford. Both Ricky and Phil remain hidden in the café while Sam sorts a solution with all the police lurking in Albert Square.

Den and Dennis call it truths and make amends.

Kat and Alfie tie the knot for real, and Alfie has one more surprise left in store for Kat. As the celebrations continue and the night dawns darker, Alfie leads Kat outside to present her with a snow machine and a snow built Square. As the residents celebrate to festive songs in the snow, Ricky leaves the Square with Phil in tow - he's managed to escape.
