Sam's disappearance threatens to cost the Mitchells everything they have, Liz gives Owen a brutal ultimatum, and Roxy and Dr Al share a very special connection.

Phil’s angry because Peggy’s asked Grant for money and claims he’s sorting things. Word spreads that Phil’s planning to sell the Arches. Phil tells Grant they don’t need his money. Pat makes Phil an offer for the Arches, which he eventually accepts.

Peggy’s furious and decides to visit Grant in Portugal. Max assures Phil he’ll get the money he owes him. Phil tells Max they’re going to take it from Ian.

Ian buys a hot tub, but has no one to share it with. Masood confronts Ian – surely he can afford to pay back Masala Queen? Ian refuses.

Denise triumphantly drags her exercise bike outside complete with ‘for sale’ sign. Jordan and Abi try to get to the bottom of the Trina’s tree planting mystery. Libby and Chelsea persuade Denise and Lucas to stay for a buffet tea.

Lucas spots a workman preparing to dig the tree up, and persuades him not to. At the buffet, Lucas is nervous when Denise suggests that she knows who planted the tree, but she just thinks Lucas has done a kind thing for Jordan. Denise and Lucas set off on honeymoon.

Denise tells Kim that Dexter came on to Chelsea. Chelsea and Denise are dismayed to see Kim and Dexter still together at the buffet. Kim admits she can’t live without him.

Shamefaced, Liz stumbles out of the Slaters’ and realises she’s lost an earring. When Charlie tries to return the earring, Patrick sees it and mistakenly jumps to the conclusion that the pair slept together. Liz tells Charlie that she’s not looking for a relationship.

Libby’s thrilled when Darren suggests a trip to Barcelona for New Year. Darren feels guilty when he sees Heather struggling to pay for some shopping and gives her some money. Max refuses to return Heather’s insurance money.
