Papa don't preach...
...Lucy's in trouble deep. But she's made up her mind - she's keeping her baby. Oooh oh she's gonna keep her baby and she's going to give it to Jane. "This baby means everything to me," emoted Jane, not mentioning the fact that Ian's erant spawn is the reason why she can't have one in the first place. Ian smiled distractedly while plotting to convince Lucy to get rid of the baby. The importance of GCSEs obviously wasn't a strong enough argument... appealing to vanity failed... even plotting her plummetting popularity on a graph had little effect. Finally the big guns came out - Marie from the Caf's labour video. But Ian had underestimated the British education system - Lucy had seen way worse in sex ed, and still wanted to go ahead with it. Instead, the video prompted Ian to start blubbing about the miracle of life and he gave his OK to Lucy and Jane's decision. But now that Leon's found out, are the Beale baby plans in jeopardy?
Grime night at the Vic
No more sitting on your lonely bar stool til closing, swaying to The Feeling. This is the new Vic. And in an attempt to keep up, Peggy got her download on and secured some of Whit's sickest grime dubs. Not only that, she donned her tequila girl outfit, squirting toxins down the throats of her waiting punters. However all she got for her efforts was grief from Billie's crew, a drink thrown at her and her booze nicked. Upstairs after a telling off from Roxy, she and the Queen Vic bust sat forlorn and unwanted. Frankly there are a lot more reasons to keep the bust out of the Vic than Peggy - at least Peggy didn't kill the landlady's father... Luckily, Danny's return took her mind off things. So that's two Mitchells he's won over.. two left to go... (sadly, in terms of influential Mitchells, Billy doesn't count)
Lucas under investigation
Trina's tree! Never has a sapling faced so much peril in the first year of its life. If Jordan ain't scrabbling around it, Kylie's trying to set it alight or the local committee is petitioning to have it moved. Poor old murdering Lucas spent most of the week trying to get Detective Inspector Patrick Trueman off the case of Liz's mystery blooms, failing miserably when intrepid investigators Patrick and Libby managed to nick the CCTV footage and found that Lucas had bought the flowers and not Owen. Another fine mess that Lucas had to wriggle out of. Once that was sorted, this new campaign to refurbish the gardens raised its head. With the prospect of Trina's tree being dug up and the deadly contents at its roots revealed, will Lucas have to murder every single person on the Square to keep his secret or will he have to face the music?
