Lola finds herself in an impossible situation as she is torn between the men in her life. Max is given some unexpected news.

Phil convinces the Carters to let Billy tell the police about his argument with Lucy himself 鈥� and this way Lee will be kept out of it. At Billy鈥檚 flat, Phil presses a wary Billy to make the call, promising that Ritchie will protect him. Billy rings the police. Pam contemplates the folder containing the photographs of Lucy, which she hurriedly conceals from Les. Les is irked Billy鈥檚 late on his first day at the funeral parlour. Phil鈥檚 adamant that Billy should get his story straight with Lola. On learning of their plan to implicate Peter, Lola鈥檚 astounded that they鈥檙e dragging Peter into it when he still cries himself to sleep about Lucy 鈥� they鈥檙e supposed to be a family!

Lola storms to her room in tears. Phil thinks Lola should choose who鈥檚 more important 鈥� her boyfriend or the man who took her in? Later, Lola catches up with Billy and tells him to implicate Peter. Billy鈥檚 surprised as Lola tearfully admits Peter鈥檚 barely speaking to her and could leave tomorrow but she can鈥檛 lose Billy. Billy hugs her and heads to Phil鈥檚 house, oblivious that Emma and DI Keeble are watching from their car. Emma informs Keeble that Billy seems well liked in the community. Keeble coldly informs Emma she wants nothing from the old investigation to cloud her thinking. Inside, Ritchie and Phil prep Billy, who prepares to say he saw Peter leaving Aleks鈥� flat with the keys. Ritchie鈥檚 taken aback to see DI Keeble.

Billy haltingly tells the truth to Keeble and Emma; Keeble enquires if anyone else had access to the spare key. Billy hesitates, then declares no one else knew about it. At Billy鈥檚 flat, Lola鈥檚 keen to join Peter for lunch but he鈥檚 busy. Feeling bad, he offers to cook dinner. At Phil鈥檚, once the police exit, Phil explodes at Billy; Billy insists that Peter鈥檚 as good as family and he鈥檚 proud to have done the right thing. On the market, Pam confronts Billy with the folder of photos. He hurries her to the caf茅, where he explains the photos are Peter鈥檚 - he hid them because Peter was constantly looking at them and it was upsetting Lola. Pam鈥檚 taken aback but urges Billy to return them to Peter. Billy agrees but instead stuffs the folder in a bin bag on Bridge Street and, avoiding Peter, heads for home.

Linda refuses to do the Blades photo-shoot, insisting she鈥檚 not young or trendy enough, but eventually allows Mick to sweet-talk her into it. Mick sends Nancy along for moral support. At Blades, Linda listens to Lauren and Whitney giggle about Dean. While Dean does her hair, Linda wonders if Dean鈥檚 seeing anyone, telling him Lauren and Whitney are keen. Dean gives Linda a new hairstyle, insisting she鈥檚 beautiful. In the Vic, Mick gives melancholy Lee a life lecture; Lee admits he isn鈥檛 keen on his plumbing course. Mick thinks Lee needs some fun and suggests they go to see Whitney 鈥� Lee needs to stop drifting.

During the photo-shoot, Nancy complains Dean鈥檚 objectifying women and Dean decides to join in; he stands next to Linda and slides his hand down her bottom as the photographer snaps away. Linda鈥檚 shocked, but says nothing. Later, Whitney and Lauren are keen to buy Dean a thank you drink. Lee approaches Whitney but she sends him packing. Linda鈥檚 forced to join the others in a toast to Dean, but she鈥檚 far from happy.

Having spent the night, Emma鈥檚 worried about being seen leaving Max鈥檚 house. She鈥檚 touched when Max produces lovingly made scrambled eggs. Lauren notes that the car lot鈥檚 not open and worries to Whitney that Max seems lonely. Whitney鈥檚 unimpressed that Lauren鈥檚 forgiven Max, although Lauren denies it. Meanwhile, Emma worried by a phone call and rushes out to work - DCI Irving has been replaced and her new boss, DI Keeble, hates her. Later, Lauren spots Max on his own the Vic 鈥� Whitney warns her not to talk to him. After a tongue lashing from DI Keeble about Billy, an upset Emma tells Max she can鈥檛 see him anymore.
