Brenda's secret is finally revealed
Ronnie eagerly awaits a message or call from Joel, but she's frustrated by his lack of communication. Roxy looks on with concern. When Billy mentions the speed dating that evening, Ronnie insists that she won't be joining in, just as Peggy reveals that the company hosting the night has pulled out. Not one to disappoint the locals, Peggy decides to take on the role of event organiser. When Bianca turns up, she's perplexed to hear that her name's been put down for the evening, before Ronnie confesses her feelings about Joel to Roxy. Frustrated that her sibling's living in the past, Roxy's firm - Joel's old news.

Later, Bianca learns that Janine signed her up to the speed dating and just as she's about to pull out, Ricky challenges her as to who can score the most dates. While Janine tries to put paid to Bianca's attempts at flirting, Ricky kicks one of the punters out of The Vic when he makes a pass at Roxy. The youngest Mitchell sister is quietly impressed and they get on surprisingly well when they're paired up. At the end of the evening, Janine laughs at Bianca for only having one name written down. As Janine's thrown out of the pub, Bianca lambastes Ricky for coaxing her into participating and tells him to drop dead. When she looks at the card, though, it shows that he was her only match…

Meanwhile, Bradley asks Dot about her advert for a lodger and suggests that he's there for the round of interviews. As Dot cleans the house, her first applicant arrives and she's not impressed in the slightest. Later, while interviewing another prospective older tenant, she's horrified when he makes a pass at her. She immediately slaps him and throws him out. A tarty-looking young female also fails to pass Dot's quality check. By the end of the day, though, Dot's pleased to announce to Bradley that she's found a new lodger - Liz Turner.

Elsewhere, Roxy's punch has more of a kick than she bargained for; Mo tells Charlie that she saw him at the summer house; Ryan's taken aback when Janine mentions Tony's abuse of Whitney; Charlie's frustrated at the lack of privacy with Brenda; Ian tries to have a relaxing afternoon but it's interrupted by Liam and Tiffany playing; Charlie plays his horn for Brenda; Ryan phones the café pretending to be a food critic; Brenda decides to end things with Charlie; Ian's livid and takes Liam's football away and pops it; and when confronted by Mo, Brenda admits that she's emigrating…
