Jack proposes to Ronnie
With Ronnie having gone to pick Roxy up from the airport, Jack walks into The Vic and is taken aback to see a huge congratulations banner for his and Ronnie's supposed engagement. An excited Peggy's annoyed, however, to learn that Jack hasn't yet popped the question. Back at the flat, Max questions Jack why he's stalling for time to propose, insinuating that he's scared of a potential rejection. With his conscience pricked, Jack goes out and buys a huge bunch of flowers. On Roxy's return, she sees that the pub is decked out for her sister's engagement party. Peggy attempts to prevent Ronnie from entering the pub but while on the phone to Jack, she walks into her own party. With that, she demands that Jack get to the pub immediately.

It's an awkward moment for Jack as he walks into The Vic. With the locals looking on, Jack makes his way across the room to Ronnie, before crouching on bended-knee and asking for her hand in marriage. Ronnie, however, tells him to "forget it", before she rushes upstairs and locks herself in the kitchen. Jack listens as Ronnie insists that she's never been so embarrassed. Apologising, Jack reaffirms his love for her. Downstairs, Jack walks back into the bar with a sad face, but Ronnie surprises everyone when she announces that she's to become a Branning.

Back home, Ronnie and Jack prepare to celebrate though while Jack arranges the champagne, Ronnie goes to the bathroom to retrieve a condom and proceeds to pierce holes in it - just as Jack enters…

Meanwhile, Ian and Jane return from Scotland to find the café boarded up; Jordan skips school to see his mum, but Lucas insists that she's not a very good mother and that he should stay away from her; Syed attempts to push his kiss with Christian to one side; Christian is forced to explain about the explosion; Lucas and Trina argue on the Square where Lucas demands she agree to the divorce; Christian tells Amira that he kissed a new man on Friday; Jane's not impressed that Christian went ahead with the renovations without the OK from the insurance company; Minty tries to take Manda back to his for 'coffee' again but she declines; and Jane shockingly discovers that the café wasn't insured.
