Summary[]

Barry tells Colin he's got a new job on a cruise ship via his new friend Trevor, who's swung it so Barry can run the disco. He's just sold his record stall to Rod and is leaving Walford tomorrow. Lou returns from Leigh-on-Sea in a black cab, via her husband Albert's grave. She gives Ian a list of people and times that she wants to see them, and makes him run round Albert Square sending each person over to her at Number 45 in turn. Arthur loses his job at the shop after the Karims become unsettled by the frequent police visits to see Arthur about the fire at The Dagmar. He tells Pauline and they vow not to tell Lou about it.

Lou returns from Leigh-on-Sea. Her family wonder if she has been feigning her recent illness.

Barry returns from his family home to give his stall over to Rod. Colin is pleased to see him again. Barry tells Colin he has a new job coming his way, working as a DJ on a cruise ship.

Darren tells Rod he has received hassle from the police over the torching of The Dagmar because he threatened Willmott-Brown after being barred the other week. He then tells Rod he thinks Den did it.

Pat receives an unwelcome phone call from her ex.

Lou takes a diversion to Walford Cemetery on her way back from Leigh-on-Sea to talk to Albert's grave. After returning to Albert Square, she takes her surroundings in and then heads back into her house. She takes out a box full of sentimental items and is then greeted to Ian. She tells Ian she wants to see a number of people individually and gives him a list of times that each person shall visit. Simon is the first person to see Lou. She lectures him on becoming a man in his own rights and then gives him a pebble that Albert gave her on their honeymoon.

Barry and Colin go for a drink together at the Vic for old times' sake.

Doctor Legg and Uncle are the next two visitors for Lou. She reminisces with the pair of them and then gives Doctor Legg an item of Albert's and Uncle some glasses.

Arthur walks into the launderette with his head held in shame. He chucks his pay-packet on the desk and tells Pauline he has been sacked by the Karims because they want to keep the business in the family.

Kathy visits Lou and tells her that she was raped by Willmott-Brown. Lou is grateful for Kathy's honesty and thanks her for the straight-talking she has given her.

Ian finds Pat to tell her that Lou wants to see her.

Colin tells Barry he is going to miss him when he is gone.

Lou visits Pat to sort things out between them once and for all. Pat is confused by Lou's willingness to listen and unforeseen kindness towards her. Lou gives Pat a brooch she gave her at her and Pete's wedding. She then tells Pat that she knows that Pat knows who Simon's father is. Pat admits she does - Lou tells her to do the decent thing and tell Simon who it is.
