Liz deals with Owen's return

Desperate for some cash, Shirley asks Phil for a job in The Vic, but he's distracted as he watches two guys having a dodgy meeting. Jack tries to convince Phil to let him use the pub for the evening but when Phil demands £500 in return, Jack promptly leaves. In the café, Sam asks Janine if she'll be chief bridesmaid at her wedding to Ricky and Janine gladly accepts. Jack catches Sam's eye when he walks in and with that, she asks if he has any jobs going. Sam returns to The Vic and Peggy's annoyed when she hears that Sam has a job at R&R with Jack. Phil's furious, too, and goes to Jack with an offer - he can have The Vic for the night for free if he agrees not to take Sam on. Jack, however, declines, having already arranged for another venue.

Livid with Jack's decision, Phil heads back to The Vic and gives Sam a choice - work with Jack and move out, or call off the job and stay with the family. With that, Sam makes a quick phone call, before revealing that she's moving in with Ricky. Later, Phil looks out of the window and spots Jack making a deal of some kind with one of the ominous-looking guys he saw earlier in the day…

Meanwhile, Patrick's unsure as to why Liz bolted from their date at The Vic so suddenly. He and Pat then begin discussing their ideal partners. At the park, Liz expresses her concerns to her son Owen that he'll revert to his old ways now that he's been released from prison. Liz attempts to sneak Owen into Dot's house but she's surprised to find Pat there helping out Jim. Pat tells Liz that Owen shouldn't be in the house, but the doting mother explains that her son needs her support and a roof over his head as he's just been released. Owen soon accepts a decorating job from Jim but Pat's concerned about his plans to stay in Walford. Pat asks Liz if Patrick knows about Owen's return but Liz asks her not to say anything. Later, Liz spots Pat and Patrick talking across the Square.

Elsewhere, Shirley's still looking for a job; Archie accuses Janine of going soft on him when she reveals that she's now Sam's chief bridesmaid; Heather has an asthma attack before admitting to Shirley that she's worried about becoming a mother; Archie takes a call in private; Shirley offers to cover Heather's shifts at the launderette; Archie reminds Janine that they need to keep their eye on the prize; and Shirley decides to call Darren about the ice cream van venture.
