Catch-up: 07 December

Whitney's world is shattered by a home truth. Meanwhile, Jean finally comes face to face with Stacey, Janine plots away, and Bradley returns to Walford.

The mobile phone Whitney has received rings but she doesn鈥檛 answer it. It鈥檚 Tony so he leaves a voicemail telling her that he loves her and pleads for her to return his calls.

Ricky requests the children are nice to Bianca and Whitney this week. As Tiffany is creating a card for Whitney鈥檚 birthday she comments on Whitney being her sister. Ricky smiles awkwardly, wishing he could tell Tiffany the truth.

Whitney listens to Tony鈥檚 voicemail but then Bianca enters with breakfast so Whitney swiftly hides the mobile. Bianca comforts Whitney about the day ahead at court. While Whitney ignores a call from Ryan, Bianca pleads with her for no more secrets, noting that Ryan is trying to protect her.

Bianca suggests a shopping trip before court. Whitney reacts by questioning Bianca, as if shopping would be a reward. Bianca is hurt by this remark and defends her suggestion explaining it was mentioned with Whitney鈥檚 birthday in mind. Bianca leaves and Whitney debates calling Tony.

Ryan receives a text from Whitney and in response goes to visit her. Bianca refuses Ryan鈥檚 request to see Whitney but he forces his way in. Whitney explains that she wants Ryan out of her life and states that Tiffany is the only family she needs.

Whitney reads a text from Tony asking her to call him that evening and she in return texts him back one word. Whitney heads downstairs but looks back up the stairs as she leaves. She already regrets her decision. In the meantime, in his cell, Tony reads a text on his mobile and smiles to himself.

As the Witness Service Officer, Ms Gilroy, outlines the key areas of the courtroom, Whitney stands in the dock looking out over the court. She is daunted by the prospect of the case. Later, Whitney appears stressed and snaps at Bianca for questioning Vivien Easley QC about the upcoming court events.

Spilling a cup of tea in Whitney鈥檚 bedroom, a panicked Tiffany finds Whitney鈥檚 tea soaked secret mobile. After Whitney and Bianca return from their shopping expedition Whitney makes her excuses and heads to her bedroom.

Endeavouring to dry the mobile Tiffany has taken it apart. Whitney finds the situation infuriating and hurriedly tries to piece it back together. The mobile is dead. Whitney shouts at Tiffany who then cries as a result so Whitney immediately picks her up and cuddles her.

Ricky and Bianca hurry in to see what has happened as Whitney apologises again to Tiffany. Bianca and Tiffany leave the room but Ricky remains. Both Ricky and Whitney show their discontent over the situation and begin to argue leading to Ricky revealing he is Tiffany鈥檚 father. Bianca stands in the doorway, hearing the slip as Whitney is left devastated.

After several practised attempts, Max successfully forges Rachel鈥檚 signature on the unsigned cheque. Later, Max meets Bradley, Syd and Noah at the tube station and informs Bradley that his mother鈥檚 condition is improving. However, Max lies that she is still unable to receive visitors.

Ian sits at his laptop staring at the dating agency website before glancing across at a photo of Jane and guiltily turning it round. Later, Janine enters the caf茅 and offers Ian a promotion on a cab service. Janine hitches up her skirt to display her suspender belt and offers Ian her mobile number to arrange going for drinks. Revealing himself by lowering his newspaper, Archie has heard everything and is not impressed.

Archie informs Janine of his displeasure at her behaviour in the caf茅 towards Ian. Janine defends her antics leaving Archie questioning Janine鈥檚 loyalties.

Ian checks a photo of Fiona from the internet-dating website. With Janine looking on, Fiona arrives to meet him, apologising for her late arrival. After requesting a bottle of champagne, Ian is left embarrassed when Ryan demands payment.

This is contrary to what had been previously agreed. Ian regrettably asks Fiona to pay the bill much to Janine鈥檚 amusement. An upset Fiona leaves the Vic. Ian moves towards the upstairs of the Vic to see Phil but Ryan physically stops him. With Janine finishing Ian鈥檚 champagne, Archie, who has entered the pub as Ian left, queries Janine鈥檚 and Ryan鈥檚 allegiances.

Jean visits Stacey in the psychiatric hospital where Stacey states she did not want Jean to visit. Stacey remains despondent towards Jean until Becca, another patient, arrives. Jean focuses on Stacey and sidelines Becca鈥檚 inappropriate sense of humour.

Jean tries to persuade Stacey to come home but is continually interrupted by Becca. On Jean鈥檚 request and Stacey鈥檚 confirmation Becca leaves. Stacey tells a devastated Jean that she has nothing to come home to. Later, back in the Square Jean sees Bradley and Syd walk across the Square and questions their return. She wonders if knowing of Bradley鈥檚 return would help Stacey.
