Amira returns to Walford with bad news

Debra wakes after spending the night on the sofa but she's preoccupied with thoughts of meeting her contact so she can buy some merchandise. Bianca, meanwhile, is silently disappointed to hear that Whitney enjoyed her day with her real mum and following an argument over her exams, Whitney storms off to school. On her way, she spots Debra selling knock-off DVDs. Wanting to spend more time with her mum, Whitney decides to skip her exam again and Zainab's not impressed when she sees what they're up to. Debra soon turns the conversation to her intentions of starting a new life in Greece, but Ricky interrupts the pair to ask about Whitney's exam. Whitney lies that she attended the sitting, before Ricky mentions to Debra that someone's been looking for her around the market. Taking Whitney and Ricky by surprise, Debra bolts across the Square to Pat's.

Packing her belongings, Debra's further rattled when the police turn up asking after her. Pushing Whitney out of sight with the DVDs, Debra manages to palm the police off, before Whitney questions who or what her mum's running from and why she's actually in Walford. Reassuring Whitney, Debra insists that she's there to see her and that she, too, can go with her and start a new life in Greece. Later, Bianca discovers that Whitney skipped another exam and confronts her. Whitney, however, infuriates Bianca when she stands up for her mum.

In a rage, Bianca returns to Pat's and begins packing Debra's belongings, but Ricky stops her and insists that she's playing straight into Debra's hands. Realising that Ricky's right, Bianca starts gathering her thoughts. Over at The Vic, Debra has a bottle of vodka and pours some into Whitney's drink. On the second attempt at topping up her spirit levels, Ricky catches her in the act. When Debra goes to the bar, Ricky tells Whitney that she should be careful who she trusts. Whitney, however, reveals that she has every intention on leaving with her mum to start afresh in Greece.
