Bianca and Sam come to blows

Bianca's washing up in the kitchen as Ricky walks in, still confused over her revelation about Sam and Jack the previous evening. Spurred on by Bianca, Ricky goes to confront his fiancée over her fling with Jack. Sam tries play the news down, which only serves to anger Ricky further. She eventually admits to kissing Jack but all isn't what it seems. Ricky later goes to see Bianca in the café and suggests that she stop believing gossip because Sam only kissed Jack on the cheek for helping to find her a new solicitor. At the same time, Sam asks Archie why he told Bianca about her and Jack but Archie feigns ignorance, stating that he made an innocent remark which Bianca made into a big deal. In the hope of placating her, he hands her some cash to go shopping with.

Later, Archie betrays Sam when he assures Bianca that what he saw between Sam and Jack was more than a peck on the cheek, before suggesting that she ask Jack if she wants proof. Following her uncle out of the pub, Biancaconfronts him about his affair with Sam. With that, Jack admits that it was 'a bit of fun' that's now ended because Sam realised that she loves Ricky too much to risk their relationship. Storming upstairs in The Vic, Bianca grabs Sam from behind and drags her downstairs into the bar and pushes her into Ricky, demanding that she confess to her adultery. Bianca goes on to reveal Jack's admission, which tips Roxy over the edge, prompting her to throw Sam out.

On the Square, Sam pleads with Ricky to give her another chance but he's dismissive and insists that she doesn't know what love is. As Ricky walks away, Archie appears, hands her a tissue and says: "It's gonna be alright. Uncle Archie's here…"

Meanwhile, Phil bursts into Max's house and shouts for Tanya. As she leaves, Phil suggests that Max pay up by the end of the day or Tanya will find out about his scam. Later in the café, Max overhears that Shirley has given Heathersome winnings. It doesn't take him long to ask Heather whether she's thought about life insurance. She's concerned about the money involved but Max assures her that she'll easily be able to afford it. Before she knows it, she's signing a contract and agrees to pay up. Max later goes to see Phil and passes off Heather's money as his own. It's not enough, though, and Phil demands the balance.

Elsewhere, Janine asks Archie about the status of his divorce; Lucas tries to patch things up with Denise and insists that he didn't mean to hurt her or Libby by calling the police about Owen; Ryan asks Janine about her game of 'pull a pensioner' but she suggests that he's only jealous; Denise visits Owen in prison where he claims that he can see Lucas for what he is and insists that Lucas killed Trina; Janine assures Ryan that she's in it for the long haul with Archie; Denise tells Lucas, Libby and Chelsea that she went to visit Owen and that the wedding's back on; and things get steamy between Ryan and Janine in The Vic's barrel store.
