Janine enjoys winding Linda up about her pregnancy, but Linda storms off to meet with her Community Payback Officer.
Janine also heads out alone, but ends up falling down the stairs at the tube station.

His stomach turns when he realises what’s happened to Janine, but in the aftermath, Janine spots him talking to Linda.
Janine confronts Mick over his whereabouts and adds that she saw him with Linda. Mick tries to justify his actions, but soon has the rug pulled from under him. What will Janine do?

The day of Lola’s first radiotherapy appointment arrives, but she continues to shield Lexi from the truth about her prognosis.

After encouragement from Freddie, Billy takes Lola to her appointment, but Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) is worried about keeping Lexi in the dark over her mum’s illness.
Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick), Billy and Ben encourage Lola to tell Lexi she still has cancer, but she snaps and storms off. Ben follows her and pressures her into telling Lexi, knowing their daughter will pick up on it. As Lexi later overhears Lola talking, her suspicions grow and she takes a letter that arrives for her mum, reading it.
When Lola hears that Lexi never showed up for school, she, Ben and Jay find her in the park, where she confronts them and Lola admits the truth. But how much does she reveal? Will she explain that the cancer is incurable? She soon tries to cheer her daughter up but in The Vic, Janine makes harsh jibes about Lola’s parenting and Lola tries to defend herself.

Stacey wonders if Suki needs help, and Eve becomes determined to be the one to offer it.
Eve worms her way in with Nish, offering him a business opportunity – but what exactly is she planning? As Nish tells son Vinny (Shiv Jalota) to step up with the running of the call centre, Eve points out to Nish that his lawyer has been shafting him for years. It seems that Eve is hoping to make herself appear useful to Nish, but why?
5. Is Harvey being taken for a ride?
![""]("https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2022/11/eastenders-harvey-flat-0fc756c.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413" "\"\"")
Rocky and Mitch Baker (Roger Griffiths) are worried about Harvey when he fails to show up for pre-football drinks, and they set out to look for him. With help from Stacey, they head into Harvey’s flat and are shocked to find a bewildered Harvey surrounded by mess. Harvey plays it down, and reveals that he’s back in touch with Sophia from the dating app – and he’s besotted.
When Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) hears Rocky discussing Harvey’s obsession with Sophia, he suggests that Harvey could be being ‘catfished’. Rocky investigates, but Harvey insists that the woman in his life is the real deal, despite the fact that they’ve only ever messaged each other. But could Alfie be right, and will Harvey get hurt?
6. Rocky makes a confession

Kathy is irritated with Rocky when he is more concerned with Harvey than helping her when she is rushed off her feet. Realising his mistake, Rocky enlists Freddie and a reluctant Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell) to help deep fry some cupcakes that Kathy is struggling to sell. But his plan backfires, and Bobby gives Rocky some insight into Kathy that gives Rocky another idea.
Whatever he does next leads Rocky to make a shocking confession to Mitch. But what is his secret? Could it be any weirder than pretending to be Sonia Fowler’s (Natalie Cassidy) dad? Watch this space!
