Bianca vows to get her kids back

Ricky's rummaging through Bianca's belongings and finds a letter form Social Services. He looks at the address and decides she must be there. Bianca, meanwhile, is sitting with the social worker and gives Pat Evans at the name of the person that they'll be living with. She also tells her that she's back with Ricky! When Ricky arrives, she kisses him and explains that they must look genuine if they stand any chance of getting the kids back. Ricky thinks she's nuts but he's forced to go along with everything.

Back on the Square, Ricky and Bianca are looking for Pat. Ricky suggests that she might be in The Vic, prompting Bianca to head over the road. Peggy's not too impressed when Bianca walks in. The pair have cross words and Bianca storms off.

Over at Pat's, Bianca's annoyed when she finds out that it'll be tomorrow before Social Services can assess the house. When Ricky accuses her of thinking of herself all the time, a secret about Ricky slips out – he's not seen Liam for nearly a year because of Melinda. However, Bianca's stunned when Ricky reveals that he's going to fight her all the way for custody of Liam.

Meanwhile, Shirley's pressing Phil for an answer to her question, but he's evasive and Peggy interrupts, asking them both for a hand serving. Vinnie's starting to regret laying his feelings on the line when Shirley keeps dismissing him. Heather, however, tells him to persevere.

As Vinnie buys a bottle of champagne, Shirley turns to Phil and tells him that it'd be nice for them to clear The Vic tonight in peace – what will Phil do?
