The police turn up at The Vic for Sam
Peggy answers the phone to the Mitchells' lawyer Ritchie Scott, while Sam's suffering from cabin fever. Phil tells Sam to keep away from The Vic's windows, before announcing that Ritchie's organised Sam some return flights to Rio. Peggy suggests that they have a small bon voyage/engagement party for Ricky and Sam and Phil agrees so long as they keep the numbers low. With that, Peggy receives a call from Archie. Across the Square, Pat asks Bianca if she's going to let Sam take Ricky away from her without a fight but Bianca insists that it's too late. While Ricky's packing, Pat, Bianca and the kids descend and confront him over his intentions. Whitney's fuming, while Bianca claims she's going to call the police about Sam. Pat, however, deters her - you should never grass on a Mitchell.

Roxy's unhappy that she's not allowed to attend the engagement party, while Bianca, Pat and Whitney turn up at The Vic. Peggy and Phil are fuming by their appearance, while Sam shows Bianca her engagement ring. Pat urges Bianca to talk to Ricky and just as she's about to confess her love for him, Sam wanders in and drags him away. Sam has cross words with Whitney, before coming to blows with Bianca and a catfight quickly breaks out. Ricky suggests that Bianca leaves. As Bianca and Whitney head for the door, Phil demands that they don't say anything to anyone about Sam's comeback. Outside the pub, Archie hands Phil a gift for Ricky and Sam but Phil's puzzled as to how he knows about their engagement. Archie claims that Peggy wants him there, but Phil returns inside. Inside, Peggy admits to Phil that Sam went to see Archie, before Phil reveals that Ritchie's on her way to pick Sam up to take her to the airport.

Ricky and Sam are dancing at The Vic, while across the Square at Pat's, Bianca stares at her phone. Archie bins his engagement present and looks at his phone, too. At The Vic, Roxy hands Ronnie a mobile phone in the bar and Jay picks up the phone in the kitchen. Bianca makes a call on her mobile as Peggy prompts Ricky and Sam to prepare for Ritchie's arrival. With that, the police suddenly turn up. Lucas is concerned by their arrival, before they announce that they're there to arrest Sam. They try to head upstairs, but Denise stops them, demanding to know why they're not looking for Chelsea's mugger…

Elsewhere, Lucas suggests that they take Jordan on holiday; a hooded figure steals Chelsea's bag; Adam asks Minty in the café if they can call in on Sam, but Manda insists they don't know a Sam and Minty walks out; Ronnie finds Joel having an ice cream with one of his daughters; Jay asks Sam if her boobs wobble when she dances, before the pair break out into an argument; Jordan tells Lucas that he doesn't want to talk about Trina any longer; Adam asks Minty about Sam and Minty confesses that she's Phil's sister but confides she's not meant to be around; Ronnie walks in on Joel with his arms around Sam; Lucas goes to the allotments and he throws up when he looks into the shed and sees that it's full of flies; Adam sounds a warning to Minty about messing his mother around; and Ryan walks in on Janine lying naked in bed covered in money.
