Returning from a night out, Tina’s chased out of the tube station by a ticket inspector. She passes Roxy and Carl kissing outside his flat. Roxy later claims to Ronnie she had drinks with Tina and crashed at Billy’s. Roxy interrupts Ronnie talking to Tina. Tina covers for Roxy and the pair head to the pub to spend the £40 Tina’s extracted from Shirley. Talking to Shirley, Ronnie realises Roxy actually spent the night with Carl. Ronnie and Shirley find Tina and Roxy at the Vic. Back at Phil’s, Ronnie and Roxy argue about Carl. Roxy insists she’s her own woman and Ronnie needs to get used to it. Carl’s dismissive when Ronnie confronts him in the pub. Ronnie then books two adult tickets and one child ticket to Ibiza for the first of January – one way.

Tommy’s been asking for Michael. Joey persuades Kat to visit Alice in prison. There, Alice explains that Michael wanted her to kill Janine but Kat doesn’t buy it.

Back at the Vic, Kat tells Alfie she doesn’t trust Janine when Alfie reveals she’s going to consider buying the Vic. However, when Joey approaches Kat, she tells him Alice is a lying cow who killed Michael and if Joey believes different, he’s as mad as she is.
