Tuesday, May 14
George is shocked to come face-to-face with his estranged son Junior and stops the fight.
Feeling out of place, Junior makes his excuses to leave the Vic and heads to Peggy’s where he meets Bianca. The pair head back to No.25 and they end up sleeping together.
Whitney is furious at Bianca for letting Britney steal and takes away her Maid of Honour duties, disowning her in the process. Lauren Branning arrives at No.3B and comes to the rescue by finding Whitney a hen outfit as Whitney asks her to be her Maid of Honour.
Lauren accepts but it’s clear her and Zack Hudson are consumed by guilt after sleeping together.
Amy and Denzel attempt to sleep with each other, but Denzel has difficulties because of the steroids. Amy tries to make him feel better, but he covers and offends her in the process.
Later on, Nugget Gulati finds Amy in McKlunky's and tries to cheer her up, but she baulks when he gets the wrong end of the stick and tries to kiss her.
Back home, Penny mistakes Amy’s quietness for coyness, but she's soon worried when she realises how upset Amy is.
Wednesday, May 15
It's Whitney and Zack's stag and hen do as the Walford residents prepare to dress up to celebrate the happy couple.
Whitney won't forgive Bianca and she soon gets jealous when Lauren is painted as a saint. Knowing Lauren's true colours, Bianca issues her an ultimatum — she has to tell Whitney she slept with Zack or she will tell her herself.
Lauren tries to voice her doubts about Zack to Whitney, but she backs out at the last minute. Bianca arrives to comfort Whitney before Penny interrupts by luring them both to the taco van under false pretences and locking them in.
Things are hostile between them as Lauren prepares to confess everything but they’re stopped in their tracks when Whitney’s water’s break.
Penny insists Amy must hold Denzel and Nugget accountable for their behaviour, but she reasons that talking is the answer.
Nugget lies to Denzel that Amy kissed him and he breaks up with Amy. In the Minute Mart, Amy gives Nugget some home truths as he starts to worry about his friendships.

Tommy tries to play matchmaker between his mum and Alfie as he takes the twins home. However, the pair are interrupted by Reiss Colwell.
