1. Ben takes action as Emma demands to see Lexi<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jay Brown (Jamie Borthwick) worries when stepdaughter Lexi is cagey with her phone, and he discovers that she\u2019s been texting nan Emma, who is back in Walford after making a brief appearance at late daughter Lola\u2019s (Danielle Harold) funeral.<\/p>\n

Emma reveals that Lexi has been messaging her for weeks, and she\u2019s really worried about her. Jay throws Emma out; but Lexi\u2019s other stepfather, Ben\u2019s husband Callum Highway (Tony Clay), pleads with Jay to listen for Lexi\u2019s sake. Emma asks for another sit-down the following day, but when Ben hears about Emma, he hits the roof!<\/p>\n

Ben bans Emma from seeing Lexi, but his mum Kathy Cotton (Gillian Taylforth) advises Jay to put Lexi\u2019s feelings first, as she loves her other grandma. Jay is heartbroken when Emma shows him Lexi\u2019s anguished messages, sent because Lexi didn\u2019t want to upset her dads.<\/p>\n

Jay promises to speak to Ben about letting Emma see Lexi, and Emma continues to push for access. Jay reluctantly allows it, and Emma has an emotional chat with Lexi and promises never to leave her again.<\/p>\n

Ben, however, soon destroys these hopes. Will Ben reconsider, or is he right to be wary after Emma\u2019s behaviour when Lola was so ill?<\/p>\n

2. Kat and Phil\u2019s wedding rush amid Alfie\u2019s health crisis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When Alfie admits that their son Tommy (Sonny Kendall) lashed out at him, and that he and Phil have been dealing with it without her by taking him to the Boxing Den, Kat is angry. Kat confronts Phil, but he accidentally shares Alfie\u2019s cancer scare news.<\/p>\n

Kat is horrified to hear that Alfie should be getting prostate cancer results<\/a> that same day, and she drops everything to be with her ex at the hospital. Later, Kat and Phil have a blazing row over his deception, and she freezes him out when he tries to make amends.<\/p>\n

Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) gives Phil a pep talk, and he heads to the cab office with chocolates for Kat, but this gesture fails. Phil is in a state as he storms over to Peggy\u2019s to be alone; while at The Vic, Sharon talks sense into Kat, who goes looking for Phil.<\/p>\n

But Phil is busy dealing with Emma, who has barged into the bar for a drink! He soon sheepishly returns home to Kat, who is furious he stayed out all night. Over lunch, Phil promises to be honest from now on, but when a coy Emma passes by, Phil rushes off.<\/p>\n

When Alfie lets the boys down, Kat makes a spur of the moment decision and books the registry office, which has a cancellation for next week for her to marry Phil! Kat later announces that she and Phil will wed in the coming days, but is she in denial over old feelings for Alfie? And what has Phil been up to?<\/p>\n

Denise invites downbeat daughter Chelsea (Zaraah Abrahams) to move in with her and husband Jack Branning (Scott Maslen). But Ravi arrives, and instead suggests that he and son Nugget (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) could move in with her! Chelsea isn\u2019t sure, but Ravi is determined to take the next step.<\/p>\n

Chelsea tells Whitney that she\u2019s not sure she\u2019s ready to move in with her beau, but Whit encourages her to take a leap of faith. Denise is horrified when Chelsea and Ravi announce they are moving in together, and Denise warns Ravi that Chelsea will see through him.<\/p>\n

Chelsea, meanwhile, tries to restore peace by inviting her and Ravi\u2019s families to drinks, and Jack advises Denise to support Chelsea and keep enemy Ravi close. But when Denise hears Gina (Francesca Henry) and Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) rowing about Ravi\u2019s drug dealing, Denise is desperate to go to the police.<\/p>\n

Jack urges her to be cautious, and they head off for the drinks party. Things are tense, and a row breaks out. Chelsea throws accusations at Denise, who storms out with Ravi\u2019s laptop secretly in her possession. What will she find on there?<\/p>\n

The Slaters are exhausted after a sleepless night courtesy of baby Charli. Stacey is taking charge, but Lily (Lillia Turner) convinces her and Eve Unwin (Heather Peace) to go to work and let her take care of her baby.<\/p>\n

Stacey reluctantly agrees, but when new teen parents Lily and Ricky Branning (Frankie Day) go out, Jack is horrified to find them clowning about with baby Charli. Jack marches over to Stacey and throws accusations around. A mortified Stacey drags Lily home, and the following day, mother and daughter fake a perfect, united front for the social worker.<\/p>\n

But Jean Slater (Gillian Wright) is concerned, and tries to persuade Stacey not to be so heavy-handed with Lily, and to let her learn from her own mistakes.<\/p>\n

But Stacey continues to nit-pick at Lily\u2019s parenting, so Jean tells her off. Stacey confides why she is so protective after her recent ordeal at the hands of stalker Theo Hawthorne (William Ellis)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jean reminds Stace that Theo is gone, and Lily must be Charli\u2019s protector now. But when Stacey goes outside, she finds something horrifying waiting for her. What\u2019s happened?<\/p>\n
