Worried about her brother, Sharon keeps an eye on Zack. As the Slater money troubles worsen, Alfie is on a mission to get a new job. He speaks to the local businesses to know about any vacancies but nobody wants to hire him. At the Minute Mart, Suki and Nish overhear Chelsea talking about Zack deserting Whitney and the baby. The pressure is on Zack as Nish and Suki arrive for the tasting event at Walford East. Tensions rise when Suki makes jibes about him abandoning Whitney and the baby. Zack can't deal with the situation and when he smashes a glass and cuts his hand, he loses it and storms out, while Ravi steps in to smooth the waters. After hearing Denise has keys for The Vic, Alfie gets Patrick to help him swipe them. Zack arrives back home and worries after recent conversations with Brett as Sharon tries to convince him to open up. Jay and Lola make wedding plans and fill in Kim over what's in store. Lola excitedly asks Kim to be her Maid of Honour. Thrilled, Kim agrees and starts planning the hen party, but Jay worries it'll all be too much for Lola. Keen to shut down Ravi's flirtation, guilty Denise goes to see him and tells Ravi she's a happily married woman. With keys in his possession, Alfie with Jean, Patrick and Freddie in tow sneak into The Vic, as he is going to re-open the pub to help Linda. Zack realises he needs to face up to things and decides to get tested for HIV. As Ravi isn't sure that Denise is being honest with herself, he drowns his sorrows at Peggy's and flirts with Chelsea. Zack's world comes crashing down when the test results confirm that he is, in fact, HIV-positive. |
