When Ricky (Sid Owen) returns home from Dubai, Pat (Pam St Clement) and the rest of the family believe that it couldn't come at a better time as they're about to lose the house and need his financial help.
However, Ricky soon drops a bombshell on his loved ones as he reveals that he lost all of his money while working abroad and has now returned with less than he went away with.
Feeling like a failure, Ricky realises that he'll have to tell Bianca the truth, so he heads out to visit her at the prison.
Bianca (Patsy Palmer) is thrilled to see Ricky, but her joy soon turns to horror as she hears about Pat's financial mess and the trouble her husband got in while he was away.

As Bianca rants at Ricky over his carelessness, he fires back by reminding her of the turmoil she has caused for the family by landing herself in prison.
Furious over Ricky's words, Bianca screams that she hates him and orders him to leave. Can the couple get back on track or are they on the rocks?
EastEnders airs these scenes on Thursday, December 15 at 7.30pm on BBC One.
