After threatening Lexi\u2019s bully at school<\/a>, Emma\u2019s backstory was finally revealed to her daughter Lola Pearce-Brown (Danielle Harold), and the two women vowed to make up for lost time. After meeting Lola and her husband Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) for a meal, Emma had a stand-off with Lola\u2019s \u2018Pops\u2019 Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick).<\/p>\n As the story continued, Emma and Lola enjoying looking over several photos from Lola\u2019s childhood, taken in the days before Emma fled. But Billy interrupted to tell Lola that they were late for Lexi\u2019s school presentation. Emma offered a lift, but the pair declined.<\/p> At home, Lola was upset that they had only made it for half of Lexi\u2019s presentation. At this point, Billy gently expressed concerns that she was taking on too much by spending so much time with Emma. Although she assured him that she was fine, Lola was reminded that she had her cancer treatment<\/a> to cope with, as well as caring for Lexi.<\/p>\n When Jay agreed with Billy, Lola decided to tell Emma that she needed to cut down on seeing her after her honeymoon. Emma was disappointed, and on her way out of Albert Square, she vented to Billy that he had got what he wanted.<\/p>\n Sonia Fowler (Natalie Cassidy) saw the exchange, and Billy filled her in on who Emma was. \u201cShe\u2019s not a Mitchell, is she?\u201d Sonia asked.<\/p>\n Billy replied that she was not, adding that some might say that was a good thing. Sonia then pointed out that she was very nearly a Mitchell herself, having shared some moving, unofficial vows with her first boyfriend Jamie Mitchell<\/a> (Jack Ryder) before he died from internal injuries 20 years ago.<\/p>\n The pair spoke fondly of Jamie, with Sonia pondering how short life was, giving Billy pause for thought. Later, at the house, Emma surprised Lola with a visit, presenting a locket containing a photo with Emma and a young Lola that she wanted to give Lexi. When Lexi walked in, Lola was forced to introduce them, perhaps before she was ready to.<\/p>\n With Lexi hearing the mention of a gift, Emma checked with Lola before handing Lexi the locket. But when Lola was distracted, Emma whispered to Lexi that there was a message for her inside, but she mustn\u2019t stress her mum out by telling her.<\/p>\n In her bedroom, Lexi found a note in the locket, saying \u2018Our secret\u2019, along with a phone number. What is Emma planning? Does she have an agenda, or is she simply going about things the wrong way?<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Visit our dedicated\u00a0EastEnders<\/a>\u00a0page for all the latest news, interviews and spoilers.\u00a0<\/strong>If yo<\/strong>u\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Streaming Guide<\/a>, or visit our\u00a0Soaps<\/a>\u00a0hub.<\/strong><\/p>\n Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>subscribe now<\/strong><\/a>.
