Jack rushes to the airport to stop Ronnie
Roxy and the rest of the Christening crowd return to The Vic to find the bar trashed. When Jack breaks the news to Roxy that Ronnie's done a runner, she turns on him and blames him for the whole situation. Enraged, she accuses him of loving Ronnie more than Amy and claims that he'll never see his daughter again. With Roxy's words ringing in his ears, Jack heads off to find Ronnie, while Christian comforts Roxy. Phil's pleased as punch that he's remembered where Ronnie's gone and shouts out of The Vic window that she was headed to Stanstead Airport.

In a blind panic, Jack jumps in his car, only to find that it won't start. He collars Charlie and promises double fare if he can get to the airport in time. On the way, Charlie suggests that Jack simply tell Ronnie how he feels. When he gets to the terminal, Jack loses heart when he can't see Ronnie anywhere. However, Ronnie's waiting in a boarding queue and hears her name over the tannoy. Spotting Ronnie, Jack grabs the microphone and bellows that he loves her over the airport's loud speaker system…

Meanwhile, Phil's drinking is spiralling out of control and Shirley's not helping him in the slightest. Peggy's stunned when she walks into The Vic from her holiday to find Phil and Shirley kissing on the sofa, before falling off. As Phil and Shirley walk out, Peggy shouts that she's ashamed to be his mother. Outside, Phil clambers into his car, but can't get the keys in the ignition. A worried Shirley takes the keys off him and when Phil won't say he loves her, she quickly realises their relationship is built entirely upon alcohol.

Elsewhere, Nick demands £100 from Billy to buy his silence; Janine's unhappy to learn that she'll be living alone again; Tanya feels awkward when she tries to avoid telling Al that she's been to prison; Nick agrees to give Billy a few more days to find the money but insists there'll be interest to pay; Tanya plucks up the courage to ask Al out for dinner; and Zainab plots to find Syed a suitable girlfriend.
