Whitney comes clean with Bianca
Whitney's 16th birthday has finally arrived - it's the day she and Tony were supposed to be starting a new life together. As Bianca puts the finishing touches to her cake, Whitney's upstairs with the door locked and half of her belongings packed, passport at the ready. Bianca knocks on the door and Whitney says she was sleeping. Bianca gives Whitney her present, a porcelain doll to replace the one her real mother gave her at birth. Consumed by guilt, Whitney's still determined to start a new life with Tony abroad.

Later, Whitney heads downstairs where her party's in full swing to see Bianca hugging Tony. Lauren exchanges looks with Tony, just as Pat returns. Ricky immediately pulls her to one side and reveals that he saw Tony shouting at Whitney the other week. Ricky, however, brushes off her suggestion that he should tell Bianca. Feigning a headache, Whitney heads upstairs and Tony follows. Whitney reminds him that they're booked on some flights to Spain so they can start their new life together. Despite Tony's protestations, Whitney's determined. When Morgan and Tiffany take a giant teddy up to her, she begins to cry.

Tony goes to check on Whitney again as she's not returned to the party. He soon begins to panic when Whitney reveals that she can't go on lying to Bianca any longer. She demands that they leave in secret so Bianca doesn't get hurt. Tony tries his best to postpone her plans - they can get a refund and leave at a later date. Whitney's at breaking point. Returning downstairs, Tony bumps into Lauren in the hall and asks if she likes her necklace. He reaches out and touches her neck. She instinctively takes a step back. Bianca makes her way upstairs to see where Whitney is and when asked what's wrong, she replies: "It's Tony..."

Elsewhere, Jack's pushing for the paternity test, but Roxy's adamant that Sean's the father; later, Roxy takes a swab from Sean while he's asleep; Bradley gives Dot the suitcase full of cash that's driving him insane; after seeing Max earlier in the day, Lauren decides that it's time to move back home where she belongs; and Libby suggests that Lucas and Denise go on holiday, but Lucas worries that if they shared a room, he'd be too tempted to sleep with her.
