Peter
is back in Walford, but it's clear that a lot has changed in his
absence. He's confused about why Lucy is now running the café, so Ian is
forced to tell his son about everything that happened while he was
away. Later, when Peter catches up with his old friends at The Vic, it's
clear that there are more changes as Lauren doesn't seem to be part of
the gang anymore. When Lauren does turn up, Peter is pleased to see her
and they share a hug. As Joey watches on, Lucy fills him in on their
past relationship.
As the day continues, Peter helps his father out at the restaurant. While he's there, Ian tells Peter to ignore Lucy's fears about the businesses, implying that she was only looking after herself when she took control. Peter then vows that he will help Ian get everything back. When Peter next sees Lucy, he tells her that she was wrong to take over Ian's affairs, but Lucy points out that he has no idea of what really happened. Not long afterwards, Max bumps into Peter and tells him to stay away from Lauren. Peter then reluctantly answers a call on his mobile and tells the caller to leave him alone. What is he hiding?
Meanwhile,
Tanya and Max are stunned over the extent of Lauren's alcohol problem.
Max can't resist pointing the finger at Tanya, asking how she could have
remained oblivious to what was going on in her own house. Later, Lauren
heads to The Vic and swipes a bottle of wine from a table. When Dot
sees Lauren, she immediately realises the teen is drunk and orders her
home. Tanya is at her wits' end when Lauren shows up in a state, so she
takes drastic action - putting locks on the doors so that Lauren is
unable to leave.
Elsewhere, Dot is disappointed when she hears that she hasn't got the church warden job. However, when Reverend Stevens sees Dot dealing with the Lauren situation so well, he changes his mind and offers her the job. Dot is pleased, but can't help feeling apprehensive when she learns that her first job is to raise £15,000 to fix the church roof.
Also today, Michael pulls Janine's house apart for clues as to where she has gone with Scarlett, while Sam offers to still buy the car if it's fixed up again - but Dexter wants him to leave as soon as the job is finished.
