|
Phil wakes suddenly from a nightmare and Sharon comes into the bedroom to check on him. He tells her that he just needs rest as the doctor instructed. Ronnie calls round looking for Roxy and Sharon suggests that she invites her over for lunch and they will get Phil to sort things out. Ronnie bumps into Roxy in the café and persuades her to come to Phil's. In Blades, Roxy tells Dean about the Mitchells' lunch and he tells her not to worry - the police will have got Ronnie by then. Ronnie heads to see Dot but she isn't in and instead she finds Fatboy finalising his DJ set for Vincent. She offers to put him in touch with some people in Ibiza. At Phil's, Abi, Jay and Ben are busy preparing lunch when Ronnie arrives with Matthew. Sharon realises that they have forgotten to invite Billy and Honey. Ben goes upstairs to check on Phil and helps him with his shirt buttons, telling him that it will take a lot more than Gavin Sullivan to beat him. Ronnie ushers Roxy into the living room and she is surprised to see Aunt Sal. Honey and Billy arrive and Phil finally makes it downstairs. The tension around the table is palpable and Roxy keeps checking her watch. Sal asks what has happened to Phil and comments that Billy's suit smells like death. Sharon encourages Phil to make a speech and Roxy darts into the kitchen, unable to handle the pressure. Ronnie follows her and apologises but Roxy tells her to leave the Square and go to Portugal. There is a knock at the door and Ben opens it. A man arrests Ronnie for the murder of Carl White, leaving the family stunned. Dean arrives and tells Roxy to tell everyone what has happened. They cannot believe that she would hand her sister in. Phil heads into the kitchen and starts to drink the champagne which Ronnie brought with her. Ronnie is put into the back of a car and asks which police station they are taking her to. It suddenly dawns on her that these aren't police officers. She panics and tries to open the door but it's locked. Denise is woken at 3am by a police officer asking her who lives in the property with her. Someone is in custody and has given this as their address. She assumes that it's Vincent but the officer cannot give her any information. She goes to see Kim and asks her where Vincent was last night and tells her about the police but Vincent walks in. Denise tells Carmel about the situation and she promises to have the case cracked by lunchtime. While discussing things with Carmel, Denise notices Cora stealing a cardigan from Carmel's stall and follows her to the allotments where Cora tells her that she doesn't want her pity. Back at number 1, the tension between Kim and Claudette increases and Claudette tells her that she doesn't like seeing Vincent taken advantage of. She points out that Kim owns the B&B and has her own money, prompting Kim to make an important phone call. Billy has finished getting Mr Griffiths ready in his coffin and lets Les know. Les hands him his payslip and a little extra money for lodgings. He tells Billy to take the rest of the day off and treat Honey. Billy is grateful and as he leaves the funeral parlour he spots Mr Griffiths old suit and takes it. He tells Honey to get ready; he's taking her up west. Honey gets ready and Billy finds a set of false teeth in one of the pockets of his suit. Honey is happy that he is finally able to focus on her until he receives a call from Sharon. |
