Bianca's sitting at the kitchen table glaring at the paternity test results before informing Ricky that they've arrived. Before Bianca can reveal whether he is Tiffany's father or not, Tiffany enters the room and sits on his lap. With her nerves having reached boiling point, Bianca tells Ricky to find her at work. Later in the café, Ricky waits with bated breath for an answer from Bianca. She nods in his direction and Ricky is taken aback by her answer. Bianca, however, worries how Whitney will take the news, as Tiffany is one of the only 'links' to her real father, Nathan.

Bianca decides to cook a family meal, while Ricky tries to comprehend the fact that he has a daughter. When asked if it will change anything between them, Ricky reluctantly says 'no'. Liam, meanwhile, picks up on the air of secrecy and questions whether someone's pregnant or leaving Walford. Sitting down to the meal, they hear the front door slam and when Ricky rushes into the hallway, he's staggered to see Whitney and a police officer standing behind her – Whitney's been caught stealing. Bianca's furious, but when Ricky removes the lock from Whitney's bedroom door, they're stunned to find the room filled with stolen goods…
