Over at the shower, Mel tries to take over which leaves Bex feeling annoyed. Lisa Fowler notices how put out Bex looks.

Ian Beale turns up and it quickly becomes clear that Sonia asked his for a loan to help with university costs.

While alone, it becomes clear that Bex is coping well with the transition and when Lisa tries to get her to open up, the teenager is quick to deflect.

Lisa asks Louise about Bex an unsatisfied with her daughter's response, she turns to Sonia. Elsewhere Bex struggles with the idea of leaving Walford for uni and begins to reminisce about Shakil Kazemi.

On Bex's last day in Walford she's reluctant to go to her surprise party her mum has thrown for her. When Stuart wishes Bex good luck they're interrupted by Dot Cotton and her granddaughter Dotty.

Dot updates everyone about Dotty's return but Tiffany Butcher is wary about her arrival and the fact that she's staying in Walford.

Over at The Vic, Bex pretends she's enjoying herself and when Lisa urges her to come clean to her mum she brushes her off and makes a speech in front of everyone.

Bex then sneaks off and with the pressure of everything that's happened over the past few months mounts, she begins to think the unthinkable.

Everyone else is at The Vic enjoying the party but they're all unaware that Bex is planning to take her own life. The next day, Lisa urges Louise to call Bex and a shocked Sonia finds an unresponsive Bex in her bed.
