It's the grand opening of Dean's salon but will Shirley's actions jeopardise its future? Linda's behaviour causes Johnny to make a drastic decision.

Linda is concerned about how stressed Johnny is about his re-sits and tells him to take a break, before leaving the room to take a mysterious phone call. Shirley sees Dean and asks him if he鈥檇 mind her coming to the opening of Blades鈥� he insinuates he doesn鈥檛 by telling her it鈥檚 at 3.30. In the Vic, Billy tells Mick that he鈥檚 got a 拢20 sponsor 鈥� which makes him and Linda even more nervous.

Linda comes downstairs dressed up and claims she is off shopping but instead meets Johnny鈥檚 tutor, Hugh Thompson at Joanna鈥檚 caf茅. Linda tells him that Johnny has never failed at anything 鈥� there must have been some mistake, were his papers mismarked? Tina helps Dean set up Blades over a shift at the caf茅 and tells him she will call in sick for him. She assures Dean that Shirley will be along later. Mick heads to the swimming pool and hesitates by the edge. He eases himself in and is terrified. After getting to waist length, he gets scared and gets out of the water. The opening of Blades has a good turnout.

As Dean is doing his speech 鈥� Shirley comes in. She tells him how impressed she is with the place and that she is really proud of him. Before she leaves, Shirley clocks Dean putting a wad of cash in a lockbox. Later, Shirley gives Phil the only money she can scrape together, but he鈥檚 not satisfied and tells her he wants a thousand pounds by the end of the day. When Shirley tells Dean to give her a hug for being so proud of him, she fishes in his pocket and retrieves his keys for Blades. Shirley lets herself into Blades and unlocks Dean鈥檚 cash deposit box, but Dean has entered and sees the whole thing. Shirley insists it鈥檚 just a loan but Dean isn鈥檛 having any of it. Shirley explains that it is Phil鈥檚 money in Blades and admits to Dean how demanding he is being. Back at his place, Phil finds the bag that the gun was in, empty and in the bin 鈥� he assumes that Ronnie has taken it.

However, Sharon has put the gun and stored it in her chest of drawers. The karaoke afternoon in the Vic is in full swing. Johnny鈥檚 phone goes and he heads out to take the call. He comes back in fuming鈥� it was his tutor who told him that Linda went to see him. Johnny is riled and hands Linda the microphone to sing 鈥楥andle in the Wind鈥�. Linda is awful and humiliates herself in front of the whole Vic. Afterwards, Linda heads upstairs and finds Johnny 鈥揾e tells her she鈥檚 awful and can鈥檛 sing. He admits he sent her up there to humiliate her, just like she humiliated him with his tutor. Their argument escalates and when Nancy and Mick try to calm the situation, Johnny calls Linda a bitch, before storming out.

Nancy finds Johnny stewing outside and agrees with him that he went too far but that a lot of what he had to say was valid. He storms off, telling Nancy to leave him to it. Later, Nancy rushes in to Linda and Mick, asking them if they鈥檝e seen Johnny; there鈥檚 stuff missing from his room and his phone is off. Johnny, with a bag full of his things heads into the tube station and out of Walford....

Alfie arrives back on the Square in Terry鈥檚 cab 鈥� Terry is concerned and has decided that Alfie using his cab to make some extra cash isn鈥檛 a good idea ; they can鈥檛 risk it any longer. Alfie is scraping together money to pay Aleks who tells him that rent has to be full and on time. He offers Alfie another week, but with 拢50 interest. Terry oversees this exchange and tells Alfie he鈥檒l give him a hand on the stall. Later, Terry and Alfie are dressed up as ladies, and are flogging stock. Aleks catches them and tells Terry he can鈥檛 help Alfie 鈥� he doesn鈥檛 have a licence. When he goes to apologise, Alfie walks in on Aleks is in the market office 鈥� shouting at someone on Skype in Latvian.

He slams his laptop shut and screams at Alfie to get out. Aleks finds Roxy in the caf茅 who tells him that Ronnie has told her she doesn鈥檛 trust him. He tells her she needs to make up her mind about him herself. Later, Roxy finds out Aleks in the Vic and tells him that she does trust him.;Alfie clocks this exchange. Aleks heads over to Alfie and they agree that Alfie can have his extra week to pay rent if he keeps quiet about what he saw in the Market Office.
