Ruby decides to take matters into her own hands and offers Phil a stack of money in return for a favour.

When he declines, a stubborn Ruby brings up the past and reminds Phil that he owes her. Phil is left conflicted – what will he do?

While Phil reflects on Ruby's offer, Sharon Mitchell is furious that Ruby and Jay are dating and is quick to remind her husband what her dad did to her. She makes it clear to Phil that Jay should steer clear of Ruby.

Phil declines Ruby's offer again and when he gives her back the money, he also gives her a reality check.

Phil is a man on a mission; he reminds Stuart Highway about his outstanding debt and he tells his wife she needs to ask Mel to cough up the cash.

Over to Mitch and he's determined to get Bailey some new football boots. It looks like his goal is unlikely when he does a job for Denise Fox that leaves him losing out on a paid job.

Feeling the pressure, Mitch goes to desperate lengths and steals one of Patrick's rare records. As Patrick begins to search for his missing records, Denise spots Mitch at Winston's music stall and pieces it all together – Mitch took the record.

She decides to catch Mitch at it - with Tina Carter's help - and when he arrives at The Vic, Denise and Patrick confront him.

Later, Denise has an unsuccessful phone interview but luckily when Kim Fox returns from Scotland she becomes a welcome distraction.

Patrick is over the moon when he discovers his record collection is worth an absolute fortune. Kim encourages her sister to pitch her business idea to Patrick – Denise wants to run her own salon.

When Denise tries to convince Patrick to invest in her business idea, Mitch overhears and decides to take it upon himself to pitch a barbershop to Patrick.

Meanwhile Bex is feeling stressed following all the pressure from her family and lies to them about how she did on a practice exam.

When she confides in Louise Mitchell, she left hurt by her friends lack of interest and storms off.

When Stuart Highway sees how upset she is, he chases after her and it's not long before the pair have a surprising heart to heart.

Despite comforting and offering Bex some wise words, Kush Kazemi spots Bex upset with Stuart and is quick to tell Martin Fowler all about it.

Things get awkward when Martin gets ready to threaten Stuart but it quickly dawns on him that Kush got it wrong. Poor Bex is left further upset in the process.

As Kush prepares to ask Mo Slater to move out of the flat, he decides against it and makes a deal after she shows him a batch of fake fur coats.

Bex is stunned when she discovers a batch of real fur coats recently got stolen. Kush begins to panic and luckily Bex is there to help him get rid of the dodgy coats and she manages to calm down Habiba Ahmed who bought one.

A furious Kush orders Mo to leave but he's shocked when she proves the coats are legit.


Bex then apologises for the mix up and when she opens up about her fears for university, Kush is quick to reassure her.

Later, when Bex overhears that Martin and Kush will be at the E20, she seizes the opportunity to see him again.

At the E20, Bex, Louise and Kush sit together and reminisce about Shakil Kazemi.

Linda returns to the Square with Ollie and tells Shirley and Tina that Mick Carter is staying in Australia to spend some quality time with Nancy.

She later hatches a plan to cheer up Shirley after she forgets it Heather Trott's anniversary. She decides to go all out and arranges karaoke in the pub and sings some of Heather's favourite songs from the 80s.

Aware that it's Heather's anniversary, Phil tries to make conversation with Shirley but it backfires and after she mentions his son Ben Mitchell she tells him to stay away.
