Having manipulated Ricky into letting her babysit Tiffany, Janine convinces Tiffany to pretend to be her daughter for the play-date on the condition that she gives Tiffany Terrence. Rupert and Portia arrive. Bianca’s furious to discover that Ricky has left Tiffany with Janine. Heading out in search of them, Bianca’s horrified to see Tiffany getting into the car with Rupert. Bianca berates Janine for leaving Tiffany with a stranger, thus exposing Janine’s lie to Rupert. Janine’s furious to have had her deal ruined by Bianca and can’t understand why Ricky is bothering with a child who isn’t his. Snapping, Ricky blurts out that Tiffany is his daughter, but swears Janine to secrecy. Realising that Liam’s feeling increasingly ostracised, Ricky makes an effort help Liam with his reading. Bradley reveals to Max that taking his advice has ruined things with Syd: he’s lied about having a job. Bradley decides to confess to his lies to Syd. To his surprise, she kisses him. Roxy invites Jack to the wedding. Archie says he’ll smooth things over with Ronnie. Ronnie’s devastated by the news, but Archie urges her to rise above it and attend the wedding as bridesmaid. Ronnie agrees and Archie’s thrilled to have everything going to plan. Meanwhile, Danielle is writing a wedding card for Peggy and Archie. She signs it: ‘From your granddaughter’. Minty is roped in to help Peggy with wedding errands. He incurs Peggy’s wrath when he loses Phil’s morning suit, but Manda fervently defends him against Peggy’s torrent of abuse. Jean excitedly prepares for an interview for a supermarket checkout job. She’s inconsolable to not get it and resigns herself to the fact that she is unemployable.
