1. Denise Fox\u2019s grip on reality slips<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s Denise\u2019s birthday, but amid all the trauma of recent weeks, she\u2019s forgotten. When her family surprise her with some celebrations, Denise is overwhelmed and rushes out, and the wedge between her and Jack widens when she can\u2019t open up to him about what\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n

A scared Raymond begs Denise to go back to being his mummy again, so she decides to tell Jack everything!<\/p>\n

The following day, Denise is rattled and rushes off just as baby Charli\u2019s guardianship hearing begins. Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) pleads with her mum to seek help from medical professionals, but she\u2019s later seen crying out in her sleep, soothed by step-daughter Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) as Jack is not there.<\/p>\n

Denise wakes up screaming and alone, and when Jack returns, he makes excuses about work and is short with his wife over her missing the court hearing.<\/p>\n

Paranoid that Jack\u2019s work case is about the Christmas Day death<\/a>, Denise steals Jack\u2019s phone \u2013 only for his daughter Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) to call him and hear the phone ringing in the salon.<\/p>\n

Jack arrives and the couple row, before Denise reveals to a disgusted Penny that Jack cheated on her. Denise later seeks out an unlikely confidant, and when The Vic hosts a psychic night, Denise sparks concern from The Six when she wanders in looking terrible.<\/p>\n

Denise shocks them by volunteering to go onstage, hoping for answers to her despair \u2013 and it\u2019s not long before her grip on reality slips even further.<\/p>\n

2. Has Linda Carter confessed?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, Linda is shaken when Ricky Butcher (Sid Owen) sends her a photo of Mick (Danny Dyer) and Janine\u2019s (Charlie Brooks) baby son. Alfie finds Linda drunk and inconsolable in The Albert, and he takes her home.<\/p>\n

During a heart to heart, drunken Linda says more than she should, and in the aftermath, gets a text from Alfie asking to talk about what she said. Linda worries she might have confessed and meets with Alfie.<\/p>\n

Rattled, she drinks again, and twists the truth to put Alfie off the scent. But does Linda tell him what happened to Keanu Taylor (Danny Walters), or might it be Denise who speaks out?<\/p>\n

3. Nish Panesar plays detective with The Six<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Stacey presses Suki to complete the divorce deal with Nish so that the cafe is safe from him. When Suki visits Nish, he needles her about what happened at Christmas, and Suki tries to twist things to put him off the scent.<\/p>\n

But when Kat makes an intriguing comment about Stacey\u2019s past, Nish breaks into the Slater house to confront Stacey and try to get the truth out of her. Stacey is terrified until Jack intervenes.<\/p>\n

The next day, Denise is surprised to hear about Nish\u2019s altercation with Jack and Stacey and collars her on it. Stacey convinces her it is about Suki, while Suki herself goes to see Nish again, who tells her he\u2019s reneging on their deal and will keep all the businesses.<\/p>\n

If Suki doesn\u2019t like it, he adds, he\u2019ll never divorce her \u2013 so she will be trapped in the marriage! Suki has to decide whether to take Nish to court and risk him going to the police, or agree to the deal and be free of him. What will Suki choose?<\/p>\n

4. Stacey Slater and Jack Branning kiss again<\/strong><\/h2>\n

After Jack saves Stacey from Nish, she is grateful and ends up thanking him with a kiss. Jack responds, before making a quick exit as he feels terrible about betraying Denise again.<\/p>\n

After the court hearing, though, Jack parties with the Slaters, and Stacey takes him aside to ask him about Denise. But will the pair resume their affair, and will the fragile Denise find out about this latest kiss?<\/p>\n

5. Alfie Moon opens up about cancer diagnosis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alfie meets a nervous fellow patient called Shahir during one of his last radiotherapy sessions. But Alfie feels lonely when Shahir\u2019s loved ones show up while he\u2019s alone.<\/p>\n

But later, Linda invites him for a drink at The Vic, also inviting Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) and Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick). All is going well until Alfie can\u2019t get to the toilet in time and has an accident.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s mortified about wetting himself in the pub, but Linda pleads with Alfie to talk to Ian and Billy about his prostate cancer diagnosis.<\/a><\/p>\n

She points out that he must let those who love him support him, and after a false start, Alfie finally tells his friends everything. The shocked men vow to be there for him as Alfie continues to bravely fight his illness every step of the way.<\/p>\n

Denzel takes action after a bully humiliates him.<\/span><\/figcaption> BBC\/Jack Barnes\/Kieron McCarron<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Denzel has an altercation with bully Logan in McKlunky\u2019s and is surrounded by the teen and his gang outside. When Yolande spots what\u2019s happening, she intervenes.<\/p>\n

But as she trips up and the gang films her, Denzel feels awful that he couldn\u2019t protect Yolande. Denzel is further humiliated when the video is uploaded online, and Davinder \u2018Nugget\u2019 Gulati (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) teases him.<\/p>\n

Denzel lashes out and Priya Nandra-Hart (Sophie Khan Levy) has to break them up. Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) and Priya bring Nugget and Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) over to apologise, and Ravi invites the boys to the Boxing Den to learn a different way to channel their emotions.<\/p>\n

Amy also tries to reassure Denzel, who is paranoid about not being buff enough to take on Logan. Denzel spars with Nugget at the Boxing Den, but asks George Knight (Colin Salmon) if he can get in the ring with fighter Rufus.<\/p>\n

But when Denzel tries to take things too far, George gives the lad a pep talk about building his strength and managing his emotions.<\/p>\n

As the week continues, though, Denzel neglects Amy, who is annoyed that he is too distracted by a fitness influencer\u2019s videos. Denzel also chooses the gym over dinner with her. Is Denzel\u2019s obsession about to ruin his relationship?<\/p>\n

Jean bonds with Jade Masood (Elizabeth Green) and the pair spend more time together. Manipulative Dean Wicks (Matt Di Angelo) is thrilled by this, but when Jean takes cake from the Slater party over to Jade, she has a point to make.<\/p>\n

Jean makes it clear to Dean that she\u2019s only doing this for Jade\u2019s mum Shabnam Masood (Rakhee Thakrar) and Shirley Carter (Linda Henry), not him. Will Dean realise he can\u2019t use Jade for his own gain?<\/p>\n
