Stacey tells Peggy she killed Archie

Stacey reveals more details of her secret to Dot, explaining that Bradley knew that he wasn't Lily's father but he still wanted to stand by them. A shocked Dot informs Max of the conversation and learns that he also knew the truth, but does not know who the real father is. Later, Max is curious about why Stacey has been so open and asks Jean if she has stopped taking her medication. Max approaches Stacey in The Vic, telling her that she needs to keep the truth about what happened to Archie and the father of the baby to herself.

Meanwhile, Janine wakes up at Richard's flat and struggles back into her clothes, although it's revealed that they did not actually sleep together the night before. Arriving home in the same clothes as the night before, Janine receives a disapproving look from Peggy. Later, Janine confesses her guilt to Pat about going back to another man's house, but Pat advises her not to tell Ryan.

Elsewhere, Phil is in very bad shape at The Vic, but Peggy insists that all he needs is some rest. After trying unsuccessfully to persuade Roxy and Billy to let him out of the barricaded room, Phil shakes uncontrollably. He manages to call Shirley, but when she ignores his pleas for help, Phil violently trashes the room. Sometime later, Peggy, Billy and Jay enter Phil's room. Peggy instructs Billy and Jay to hold Phil down as Phil starts making threats. Billy and Jay restrain him as Peggy rips the phone from the wall. Again, Phil is left alone in the boarded-up room.

In the Register Office, as Janine and Ryan's ceremony begins, Janine stops it and takes Ryan to one side. She explains her fears over the marriage, letting him down, or destroying their happiness. Eventually, Ryan reassures her and they go through with the ceremony.

That evening, having initially decided to stay inside, Stacey is convinced by Jean to attend Janine and Ryan's wedding reception. In The Vic, Sam persuades Stacey to leave Lily upstairs in one of the bedrooms. While upstairs, Stacey notices a photograph of Archie and Peggy and is taken aback. Making her way back downstairs alone, Stacey passes the living room, and hearing groaning inside, she panics and runs downstairs. Scared and confused, Stacey tells Peggy that she thinks Archie is alive and locked in upstairs.

Peggy responds with frustration, attempting to convince Stacey that Archie is dead and buried, reiterating that it was Bradley who murdered her husband. Unable to deal with the guilt and wanting to protect Bradley's honour, Stacey confesses to Peggy that Bradley didn't kill Archie - but she did.
