Ronnie and Joel rekindle their romance
As Ronnie stares eagerly at Joel's number in her phone, Roxy walks in with good and bad news. She reveals the good news that Ronnie had eight matches at speed dating, but the bad news is that her card has gone missing. However, Peggy's made another one and Roxy urges her sister to forget about Joel. Later, Ronnie's looking at some lingerie in her bedroom and when Roxy questions her about it, she's dismissive in her response. Frustrated by Ronnie's mood, Roxy confronts her and demands to know why her speed dating card was screwed up in the bin. Peggy listens on and is shocked to hear about Joel.

Ronnie admits that she's not told Joel about Danielle because it's difficult and when Roxy points out that rekindling their romance isn't the answer, Ronnie calls to cancel their meeting. Jack turns up at The Vic to hand over the money for Ronnie's share of R&R and when he does, he says that she's not capable of finding another man. Determined to prove her naysayers wrong, Ronnie goes to see Joel at his office. They kiss, before returning to The Vic. Walking into the bedroom, they find a disgusted Roxy sat on the bed. When Joel goes to the bathroom, Ronnie sees his wallet and can't help but take a look. Inside, she finds a picture of his wife and kids. On his return, she feigns ignorance and the pair continue kissing…

Meanwhile, Ricky's in the café trying to work out who his matches were at speed dating. Bianca overhears and tears up her card. Ricky's later frustrated when Dawn reveals that his card will have been thrown out. Later, Ricky rummages through the bins outside the pub, much to Dawn's disgust, but when they find his card marked with an 'M' and another smudged letter, they're intrigued. Ricky suspects it's Peggy and awkwardly confronts her. When Ricky's later asked by Ronnie if he 'fancies a fair', he presumes she means 'an affair'. Ronnie quickly decides to take the tube, while Ricky realises that his match must've been Roxy. He later reveals to Bianca that he has a date with the youngest Mitchell sister.

Elsewhere, Ryan lets a cockroach loose in the café; Charlie's frustrated by Brenda's decision to leave him; Ryan steals all the money from the café; Mo tells Charlie about Brenda's decision to emigrate; Ryan tells Whitney that he knows what happened with Tony; Brenda meets with Charlie and confesses that she's moving to Madeira with her brother Clive and his family; Charlie asks Brenda for one final date; Whitney asks her brother not to stay in Walford out of pity but because he wants to get to know her; and as Brenda's bus pulls away, Charlie runs in front of it and is knocked to the floor, clutching his chest…
