The Mitchells are left devastated by last night's shocking events - will Albert Square ever recover from the tragedy?
A broken Peggy surveys the burnt-out wreckage of her pub. At number 27, the Mitchells, reconvene. While a withdrawing Phil sleeps, Peggy advises them all to keep quiet about him to the police. Peggy visits Stacey in hospital. Anticipating that Peggy鈥檚 told the police about Archie鈥檚 murder, Stacey鈥檚 shocked when Peggy instead asks her to claim responsibility for the fire. Stacey refuses, insisting that Lily needs her. With Stacey鈥檚 maternal instincts having struck a chord, Peggy鈥檚 left reassessing her situation. Entering the burnt-out shell of the Vic, she鈥檚 haunted by the ghosts of her past. She tells Billy she鈥檚 leaving Walford to make a fresh start and she鈥檚 taking Phil with her to get him clean. Peggy breaks the news of her departure to a stunned Ronnie and Roxy. Upset by the news, Ronnie reveals that Peggy can鈥檛 leave; she鈥檚 pregnant. Peggy assures Ronnie that she鈥檒l be fine. Having seen the Vic, Phil鈥檚 wracked with guilt. Insisting that she鈥檚 responsible for what he鈥檚 become, Peggy vows to take Phil away and make him better. Phil鈥檚 unconvinced, claiming that Peggy鈥檚 been suffocating him for years. Recognising that she鈥檚 the problem, Peggy resigns herself to leaving alone. Peggy bids her final emotional farewells to the rest of the family. As she prepares to leave, Phil appears, imploring her not to go. Determined, Peggy claims she鈥檚 going for his sake. A tearful Peggy pauses outside the Vic before walking out of Walford.
Janine showers Ryan with praise for his heroism, but Ryan鈥檚 still shell-shocked by Stacey鈥檚 revelation. Ahead of his departure on honeymoon, he visits Stacey. Challenging her reasons for telling him now, Ryan struggles to accept that he鈥檚 Lily鈥檚 father. Unable to handle the situation, Ryan leaves to rejoin Janine for their honeymoon.
