Yolande is busy organising the fundraiser with Pastor Clayton when Patrick Trueman (Rudolph Walker) arrives home, but the pastor is annoyed to see Yolande\u2019s attention diverted by Patrick as the couple catch up.<\/p>\n

Patrick is stunned to hear about Denise Fox\u2019s (Diane Parish) split from Jack Branning (Scott Maslen), and that she\u2019s living with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden).<\/p>\n

Patrick confronts cheating Jack, while Denise asks Yolande to keep quiet about her hospital stay.<\/p>\n

Patrick becomes suspicious that they\u2019re keeping things from him, and arranges a meal with Denise and family as he aims to find out why Denise isn\u2019t as angry with Jack as she should be.<\/p>\n

Yolande agrees to attend despite her commitment to the fundraiser. Pastor Clayton interrupts the meal, and Yolande invites him to join them.<\/p>\n

But Patrick becomes aware that the pastor knows more about Denise\u2019s troubles than he does, and he grows jealous of the man\u2019s closeness to Yolande and his family.<\/p>\n

The day of the fundraiser arrives, and Yolande is stressed, with matters made worse by some barbed comments from the pastor\u2019s wife, Stella (Velile Tshabalala).<\/p>\n

Patrick is not impressed to find Yolande alone with Pastor Clayton, even though they are just picking up supplies. Yolande and Patrick have a furious row, and she tells him not to come to the event.<\/p>\n

Before the fundraiser, Yolande is alone in the kitchen at the community centre when Pastor Clayton arrives and sexually assaults her.<\/p>\n

After the attack, Yolande seeks solace in the launderette, where she confides in Elaine Peacock (Harriet Thorpe). Will Yolande find the strength to report Pastor Clayton to the police? And will Yolande tell her beloved Patrick about her ordeal?<\/p>\n

Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) and Jay get their marathon numbers, but Jay is left shocked when he receives a voice note from Nadine telling him she needs to see him urgently.<\/p>\n

Jay delays replying to Nadine\u2019s message and confides in friend Gina Knight (Francesca Henry), who urges Jay to meet with Nadine.<\/p>\n

When he sees Nadine, she drops the bombshell that she is pregnant with his baby. An overwhelmed Jay rushes off, and as he struggles to process the news, Nadine is angry that he\u2019s burying his head in the sand.<\/p>\n

She explains why she didn\u2019t tell Jay sooner, while Gina encourages Jay to speak to his family.<\/p>\n

Jay gathers Callum Highway (Tony Clay), Honey and Billy Mitchell (Perry Fenwick) together to tell them. But how will they react to this development, less than a year after the death of his wife Lola Pearce-Brown (Danielle Harold)?<\/p>\n

But after Sharon\u2019s recent arrest, and Linda\u2019s latest false statement<\/a>, what exactly is their next move?

George makes a difficult phone call to his estranged son Junior to update him on family news, but only gets his voicemail. Eddie calls George, asking him to meet to discuss Gloria Knight (Elizabeth Counsell).<\/p>\n

A vicious showdown sees George and Eddie trade wounding words, and George is thrown deeper into despair as he vents his fury in the underground boxing club.<\/p>\n

A concerned Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) stops George, but George won\u2019t listen to Phil\u2019s pleas not to fight, and he ends up being knocked out.<\/p>\n

George wakes the next day on Phil\u2019s sofa, and he\u2019s battered and bruised. Elaine, Gina and Anna Knight (Molly Rainford) are horrified to see the state of George later, and he lies that he was jumped by some thugs.<\/p>\n

George tries to make some headway against Eddie, but a new knockback sends him spiralling once more.<\/p>\n

Elaine decides not to intervene when George storms off, but Cindy is deeply worried, and she confronts Phil to find out what George is up to.<\/p>\n

Phil and Cindy arrive at the boxing club to find the bouncers refusing George entry, so Cindy takes him to the Boxing Den for a chat. Can Cindy help George?<\/p>

Although she\u2019s distracted by the troubled George next week, Cindy is also haunted by the loss of her daughter Lucy, who was murdered 10 years ago by her half-brother Bobby Beale (Clay Milner Russell).<\/p>\n

Lucy\u2019s twin Peter Beale (Thomas Law) and their father Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) bring family and friends together to remember Lucy the day before the anniversary.<\/p>\n

But Cindy misremembers things from the past, and it reminds her of just how much of Lucy\u2019s life she missed.<\/p>\n
