Michael receives help from an unexpected source after a series of mishaps threaten to delay him for Scarlett's hospital appointment. Lola and Jay's antics have dire consequences.

Billy puts up posters promoting the torch relay. Lola鈥檚 fed up. Jay rips up a postcard from Abi, claiming to Shirley he鈥檚 over her but is upset because Lola鈥檚 not talking to him. Shirley makes Jay apologise to Andrew for damaging the burger (now pie) van. Lola鈥檚 social worker visits. Jay visits Lola and apologises. Lola wants Jay to take her somewhere but Jay sensibly refuses. Lola uses her heavily pregnant state to scam a drink from Denise then later chicken from Fat Boy. Realising Lola hasn鈥檛 paid, Nico鈥檚 angry; after Nico touches her bump, Lola pushes him away knocking some chicken to the floor. Nico calls the police. It鈥檚 past Lola鈥檚 curfew time. Jay assures Lola he鈥檒l still be there for her when the baby鈥檚 born; she kisses him. Billy arrives as Lola鈥檚 being arrested. Jay walks away as Lola鈥檚 driven off in tears.

Denise tells Shirley Carly鈥檚 had a baby. Shirley eventually calls Carly, who angrily tells her not to call again. Later, Ben finds Shirley drunk. She tells Ben she was a really good best friend, now she鈥檚 no-one to anybody and Ben assures her that鈥檚 not true. Elsewhere, in the charity shop, Cora polishes the 鈥榖est friends鈥� frame.

Michael spends the morning dealing with business. His phone battery dies, he locks himself out the house and his taxi doesn鈥檛 turn up. Alfie鈥檚 initially hostile to Michael but then helps him get to hospital. Michael鈥檚 missed Scarlett鈥檚 consultant鈥檚 appointment and Janine鈥檚 furious. Michael tells Janine she can鈥檛 keep pushing him away.

Rose鈥榮 bored, Cora doesn鈥檛 want to go to the bingo nor Andrew to Southend. Kat鈥檚 gone away, Alfie sets up some training for the football team. Cora commands the boys to do press ups in the Vic. Rose embarrasses Andrew in front of the team.
