Rainie Branning puts herself at risk to sneak into the Square..

EastEnders' Max Branning tells Ian Beale that they should meet up with Rainie Branning without his brother Jack Branning. He thinks it might give them a better chance of getting their missing baby granddaughter Abi Branning back.

As they wait for Rainie to arrive they’re shocked when Stuart Highway turns up instead… Rainie is over at Max’s house, thinking it’s empty, searching for Abi’s favourite toy. Rainie is shocked when Jack walks in and catches her. Will she manage to escape or has Jack got her bang to rights? In the café, Stuart keeps Max and Ian sweet by reassuring them about Abi. He claims that Rainie has gone on holiday and will return soon. Will they buy his story?
