Lucas begins to panic about the truth emerging
Bianca insists that Whitney clean the graffiti off Arthur's bench and as she does, Leon films her on his mobile. Leon sends the footage to some of his friends and when Billie realises that Whitney's being made to clean up after Connor's actions, he tells Carol the truth. Embarrassed, Carol reluctantly apologises to Whitney for accusing her of the crime. Later, Heather recognises Carol from an old photograph in the launderette but Carol's less than forthcoming about her past working there. Unable to find any other work, though, Carol goes back to see Heather to enquire about a job there. Further, Carol also asks Ricky if he'll give Billie a chance working at The Arches.

Lucas manages to convince his family that he sent the lilies to Liz out of sympathy for Owen's disappearance. Libby, however, needs more convincing and Lucas is forced to have an eerie one-to-one chat with her. Lucas explains the similarities between him and Owen, before insisting that Owen's isolating himself as it's the knee-jerk reaction - and that contacting him will potentially push him over the edge again. Libby reluctantly accepts that Owen's more than likely fallen off the wagon again and with that, she hugs Lucas and thanks him for his kind words and concern.

Annoyed by the graffiti on Archur's bench, Jean and Charlie decide that the time is nigh to petition for the Square gardens to be given a makeover. Lucas, however, is visibly concerned about the idea as he knows it would mean digging up Trina's tree - and who's beneath it…

Meanwhile, the Beales resolve not to inform Leon that he's about to become a father to Lucy's unborn baby. After reassuring Jane and Lucy that nobody else knows their secret, Ian rushes to see Dot in a bid to discover if she's told anybody else that Lucy's with child. Ian's stunned, though, when Dot reveals that she felt the need to tell Heather. Ian panics when he learns that Heather's at book club and with Dot in tow, they rush to Bianca's house in the hope of catching Heather before she broadcasts Lucy's news to the other members. They arrive at the house in time and Heather assures them that she's told nobody else about the pregnancy. They're completely unaware, though, that Whitney's overheard their entire conversation.

Wanting to exact revenge on Leon for mocking her earlier in the day, Whitney holds her phone and contemplates letting Leon know about Lucy's secret.

Elsewhere, Danny sabotages a pump at The Vic in a bid to help Peggy; Roxy's left to clean up the mess; when Danny returns from lunch with Peggy, it's clear that Roxy's beginning to crack under the pressure; Peggy realises that she has a new ally in Danny; Roxy relents and eventually asks Peggy for help; and Danny manages to convince Roxy to keep The Queen Vic bust on the bar.
