Will the Halloween party at The Vic go to plan? Dot fears that she has seen a ghost. Lauren is scared when she realises she is being followed.
Itâs Halloween and Lauren heads to the Vic for the party. As she hovers outside, sheâs terrified when Whitney comes up behind her and scares her; she doesnât see the funny side. Lauren storms off back home and arrives back to Abi having decorated the living room; sheâs invited Ben over. When Lauren tells Abi that she doesnât want to go back to the party because she thinks sheâs being followed, Abi is initially dismissive but after feeling guilty tells Lauren that she can stay downstairs with her and Ben.
Ben arrives at the Branningâs and states how odd it was that Johnny mentioned he had a girlfriend. Ben clocks an awkward Abi and realises that it was her who had said something. Ben leaves for the Vic; annoyed that Abi thinks he canât look out for himself. When Lauren suggests that Abi make some new friends now that sheâs broken up from Jay, Abiâs riled; theyâre her friends too. Lauren relents and agrees that sheâs not the best person to be dishing out advice and the sisters agree to spend Halloween together, just the two of them. The door goes and itâs Emma, whoâs let herself in. Lauren tells her she can wait in the house for Max to get back.
When Emma suggests that the girls go to the Vic for the party, Abi blurts out that Lauren thinks sheâs being followed again. Emma desperately tries to reassure her â it was just a journalist and it wonât happen again. Lauren concurs and decides she will head out after all, leaving a dejected Abi alone. Emma texts Bryant telling him that she needs to see him, but instead tells Abi sheâs off to meet Max. Lauren meets Whitney again outside the Vic, but when she gets a prank call and panics, Whitney gives up on her and heads back into the party alone. As Lauren turns to face Bridge Street, she sees someone in a weeping angel mask watching her.
As the figure tears off, Lauren follows. Lauren runs into Walford Park, where the figure reappears watching her again. Lauren corners the figure and rips off the mask â itâs Abi. In the Vic, Ben asks Johnny for a word. He tells him that he doesnât have a girlfriend and that it was just a phase. When Johnny suggests that Benâs gay, this angers Ben and he tells Johnny to back off. Emma meets Bryant in the cafĂ© and firmly tells him to stop following Lauren, assuming that heâs doing it to win her back. Bryant reels, telling Emma itâs got nothing to with her and swiftly leaves the cafĂ©.
In the Vic, the Halloween party is in full swing and is doubling up as Ronnie and Charlieâs engagement party. Yvonne arrives and expresses her concerns about Nick to Charlie â Charlie assures her that heâs gone. Dot tells Sharon and Ian how adamant she is that she saw Nick. The pair try to convince her that it was just her imagination but sheâs convinced. Dot admits that she hasnât told Charlie about what she saw; heâs got enough on his plate. Ian and Sharon manage to convince Dot to go over to the Vic to join the engagement party.
Dot arrives at the party and sits with Yvonne â Dot confesses that she wishes it was her and Nickâs engagement party, she wishes sheâd been at their wedding. As Fatboy tells a spooky story to Johnny, the pair are oblivious to Dot overhearing. Dot decides she needs to go home â Ian walks her back. Sharon fills Charlie in on Dot thinking she saw Nick from her window the previous night. Charlie and Yvonne head back too and question Dot over what she saw. Charlie calls Nick and tells him to meet him so that they can sort things once and for all. Fatboy finds Charlie outside and summons him in for a speech.
Charlie gives a heart-warming speech declaring his love for Ronnie â even Phil looks as though he is warming to him. In the kitchen, Yvonne tries to calm down Dot. Dot smells a rat when Yvonne suggests that it was a good thing that Charlie stopped her from seeing Nick in his coffin â how does Yvonne know? Phil approaches Charlie and Ronnie and confesses that he may have caused them a problem with Nick.
Charlie arrives back to a distressed Dot and tells her the truth; Nickâs alive. Dot demands to see Nick and Charlie agrees that he will find him and bring him home. Yvonne and Charlie leave Dot alone to go and meet Nick. However, with Dot alone, Nick calmly emerges from the living room and lights her cigarette â âHappy Halloweenâ!
