Ian makes a huge decision

As Ian's life crumbles around him, he is forced to make a shocking decision about his future.

Meanwhile, Phil is keen for Jay to return home, so he pays him a visit and explains that everything is back to normal now that Shirley is back. However, although Jay is tempted, he rejects the offer. Later, though, Jay realises that he's missing his family when he spots the Mitchells heading to the Argee Bhajee for dinner. To Phil's delight, Jay decides to join them.

Elsewhere, Shirley remains concerned for Dot when she pops round and discovers that the Walford favourite hasn't even bothered to get dressed yet. Shirley teams up with Cora, Patrick and Rose to help Dot out of her dark mood, but it's no use. Later, Ian gives Dot food for thought by suggesting that she should take some time out from Walford. Although she's reluctant to leave Jim, Dot accepts that she needs a change and decides to go away to visit Dotty.

Also today, Michael books an appointment for Janine at a 3D scan clinic and they find out the sex of their baby, which prompts Janine to agree that the wedding is back on, while Kim decides to show Sasha where Heather was murdered after hearing that she wants to be a forensic scientist - but her gruesome tales leave the youngster terrified.
