Summary[]

A hungover Linda is humiliated when Mick describes her actions the previous night - but their argument is cut short by shocking news from Ollie's school. As if that were not enough for the troubled landlady, she also faces Sharon, who wants to know why she said Keanu was alive. Meanwhile, Lisa tells Phil she and Louise are moving to Portugal - a plan he opposes - Ian frantically tries to get his fellow residents to vote for him in the election, and Daniel and Jean run rings around Rainie and Stuart.

Ian's on the parole to win the election.

Sharon demands more answers from Linda on Keanu. She wants to know where Martin dumped the phone containing the evidence. Linda's landed herself in a sticky situation and reminds Sharon that she promised to keep quiet.

Dot's upset by Martin's revelation and instead of calling the police, kicks him out of the house. Sonia feels guilty and wants to come clean. She later discovers via a voicemail that Dot has decided to return to Ireland to Charlie.

Lisa thinks that it's in Louise's best interest if she moves away from Walford. She tells Phil that she's fairly set on taking both Louise and Peggy with her to Portugal, and reminds him that if not, Louise could snap and reveal all at any time.

Shirley and Tina find Linda's secret stash in the bathroom cabinet. Shirley wants to keep it a secret from Mick in the meantime, but he later discovers, and she tells him that he needs to take action.

Jean and Daniel take advantage of Rainie and Stuart's scheme and take a free trial on the funeral experience. Rainie clocks onto their game and adds it all onto their quote plus interest.

Linda and Mick are called into Walford Primary where they are told by Miss Gardner that Ollie has said that Linda has been hurting him. A distraught Linda lashes out in frustration when Mick tells her that Ollie is staying with Chantelle and Gray for a few days.

On his way to his new bed in the shed at the allotments, Martin discovers he's been broken into. Panic ridden, he searches for the phone containing the evidence, which is missing. Sharon's got hold off the mobile and has seen the set-up.

Mick locks a drunk Linda in the bedroom when she gets out of control with anger over Ollie's allegations and throws some harsh words about Mick's lacking capability of being a man.
