Gray struggles to contain his guilt but the rest of the residents think he's grieving. After Gray forgets to pick the kids up from school, Linda arrives at his house with them.

She decides to take them to the park to give Gray some time to rest but when she arrives back at his home and sees that he's still sleeping, she decides to help out by cleaning up. But when Gray wakes up and realises that Linda has cleaned Chantelle's mug he's furious and kicks off.

Lexi tells Lola and Jay about Raymond and they're stunned. Lola then asks Ben about Phil and Raymond's relationship but he tells her to stay out of it.

A torn Lola decides to tell Denise that Phil has been seeing Raymond behind her back. Reeling from the revelation, she calls Ellie…

After meeting up with Ellie, Denise comes clean and tells her that Phil is Raymond's dad and he's bad news.

Denise then confronts Phil and tells him she knows what he's been up to. Phil is furious with Lexi – but what will he do?

Over to the Slater household and Kat Moon and Jean Slater are shocked when they see a photo of Ruby Allen and Martin Fowler on social media together.

They attempt to keep the news from Stacey but it's not long before Martin and Ruby return to Walford and it all becomes clear to Stacey.

It's Hope's birthday and Ruby smugly invites Stacey to her club later that evening for the party. Stacey and Kat agree to go just so they can steal some booze.

However when Stacey goes snooping for expensive alcohol in Ruby's office, she's shocked when Martin and Ruby arrive and things start to heat up between the couple. Stacey is forced to hide under the desk – but will she get caught?

Later as tension begins to rise between Stacey and Ruby, Martin is forced to step in and try to cool down the situation.
