Phil\u2019s deal with the devil \u2013 sorry, the police \u2013 weighs heavy as he contemplates his future, which will either be spent behind bars or as a grass for the boys in blue (and look how that ended for Vincent). Either way, he decides it\u2019s crunch time for him and Kat and he ends their relationship, much to her confusion.<\/p>\n

Confiding in Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) he explains he only dumped Kat to protect her from heartbreak if he\u2019s sent down for life (she still thinks he\u2019s only looking at five years), but there\u2019s also the potential danger from disgruntled gangsters she could be in if he becomes an informant. Shaz urges him to come clean to Kat which he eventually does \u2013 will he tell her the whole story? And can Phil really bring himself to be DCI Keeble\u2019s snitch?<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u2019s drug hell<\/h2>\n

Chelsea\u2019s resolve to stay strong during her long game to escape her marriage to a murderer starts to wobble as the exhaustion of being a new mum to a sick baby takes its toll. When she\u2019s prescribed anti-depressants by the GP manipulative Gray worries they\u2019ll weaken his control, so he puts her off by saying she won\u2019t be able to breastfeed if she\u2019s on meds.<\/p>\n

Kheerat Panesar (Jaz Deol) engineers for Chels to spend some mother\/daughter time with Denise Branning (Diane Parish) and tells Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) he\u2019s organised a flat for their friend when she\u2019s ready to leave Gray. Getting the callous killer alone, Kheerat pretends to be Gray\u2019s pal and tries to get him to admit what he did to Chantelle \u2013 only for them to be interrupted with shocking news about little Jordan\u2026<\/p>\n

The realities of having breast cancer send Stuart spiralling, as he freaks out about the surgery that could mean the difference between life and death, and admits to estranged mate Mick Carter (Danny Dyer) he thinks he\u2019s being punished for the bad things he\u2019s done in the past.<\/p>\n

The prospect of an operation is scary in itself, but it\u2019s when doctors start discussing pain medication Stu really starts to panic. Who can Stuart lean on to get through his darkest hour? And is he in any fit state to make important decisions about how to tackle his diagnosis?<\/p>\n

Dana\u2019s big secret<\/h2>\n

Harvey Monroe (Ross Boatman) hopes that the heat will soon die down after the near-miss at midnight on New Year\u2019s Eve where his radicalised son Aaron Monroe (Charlie Wernham) almost detonated a bomb on behalf of far right extremists, but it\u2019s a pretty hard thing to escape \u2013 especially considering his landlord is super cop Jack Branning (Scott Maslen).<\/p>\n

Feeling he has no choice but to leave Walford, Harvey tells Jack the Monroes are moving on, lying he is going to stay with a sick relative (sicker than Aaron?!). Dana wants to stay put and it soon becomes clear there\u2019s a very good reason why, as Peter Beale (Dayle Hudson) overhears a conversation he really wasn\u2019t supposed to\u2026 What is Dana hiding?<\/p>\n
