Ronnie gets a blast from the past in The Vic
It's the day of Roxy and Archie's housewarming party and while Roxy wants to extend the invite to all and sundry, Archie hopes to keep it a family affair. Roxy assures her dad that she'll have a word with Peggy to see if she'll attend. Peggy's uncomfortable by Roxy's invite but she later hints to Ronnie that she may pop along. Ronnie's not impressed in the slightest. Later in the market, Roxy extends her party invite to her sister who gratefully accepts. However on her return to The Vic, Ronnie begins planning her own shindig. In the Minute Mart, Janine tells Archie that she has a surprise for Ronnie, but Archie's dismissive. She then learns that Archie's planning a party and is frustrated not to have been asked along.

Ronnie overhears some of the conversation and when Archie leaves, she confronts Janine over her chat with Archie. With that, Janine venomously reveals that Archie's paying her to spy on her and Roxy. To Ronnie's annoyance, Peggy decides to put in an appearance at the party but feeling guilty, she changes her mind. Over at Archie's house, no guests have turned up. When Roxy pops to The Vic, she walks into Ronnie's party. Ronnie tells her sister the motives for her party, before repeating Janine's earlier claim. Furious, Roxy goes to confront her father and his silence confirms everything. Ronnie's thrilled when Roxy returns to the party, but there's a shock in store for the eldest sibling...

Meanwhile, Lauren and Peter are washing Max's car with the promise of a paid-for meal afterwards. Peter's surprised to find an earring and Lauren points out that it doesn't look like her mum's. Concerned, Lauren goes to tell Tanya, but she has second thoughts before she has a chance. Lauren overhears Tanya and Jane talking, and Tanya mentions to her friend that Max has forgotten their anniversary and believes that he has something else on his mind. Lauren suspects the worst and when Jane leaves, Lauren shows her mum the earring that Peter found...

Elsewhere, Libby receives another visiting order from Owen; Minty asks Garry if he's doing the right thing by marrying Dawn; Liz invites Darren and Libby for a drink at The Vic; Dawn tells Minty that she'll marry Garry so long as he and Phil keep quiet about her affair; after their drink, Libby reluctantly suggests that she and Darren shouldn't see Liz any longer to respect Denise's wishes; and Minty assures a delighted Dawn that he won't say anything to Garry about her and Phil.
