Michael proposes to Janine

Janine is distraught following her argument with Michael last night, and Billy tries to make her realise how lucky she is - pointing out that at least her baby will have a dad, while Lola's will have nothing. Soon afterwards, Janine tries to resolve the matter by asking Michael what she needs to do to make amends, but he rebuffs her attempts to bury the hatchet.

Later, back at the office, Billy tells Janine that a man has called up over a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity regarding a new development by the river. Excited, Janine takes a cab to the Gherkin, where she enters a deserted restaurant with a perfect view of the London skyline. Suddenly Michael appears, questioning whether Janine really is the girl of his dreams. Janine rejects his words by insisting that she doesn't believe in destiny and soul mates, but she receives a shock when Michael gets down on one knee and proposes. Will Janine accept?

Meanwhile, Mandy is horrified by her mother's arrival in Walford and tells Ian that he'll soon wish 'L' really had been a mystery man as Lucy had suspected. Mandy is concerned as she notices that Lorraine is trying to get her feet under the table at the Beale house, so she tells her mum that she has to leave. However, she's later frustrated to learn that Ian has asked Lorraine to stay, keen to resolve the differences between mother and daughter. When the pair are left alone, Lorraine is sinister as she tells Mandy that she's not going anywhere.
