Peggy and Phil's emotional showdown has disastrous consequences for everyone in the Vic. With Stacey and Lily's lives in peril, will Ryan be able to get to them in time?
Peggyβs dumfounded by Staceyβs murder confession. Stacey goes on to reveal that Archie raped her. Unconvinced by the story, Peggy turns on her, claiming sheβs calling the police. Billy meanwhile, cautiously enters Philβs prison, crowbar in hand. Phil implores Billy for money to buy crack. Panicked as Phil grows increasingly frenetic, Billy flees the room. Finding Billyβs crowbar, Phil smashes through the door before rampaging through the house in search of cash. He comes face-to-face with Peggy. Full of derision, Phil scorns her for ruining his life; claiming sheβs always loved the pub more than him. In an act of vengeance, Phil takes a lit match to alcohol in the hall. Peggy watches in horror as the flames take hold and frantically tries to warn the gathered revellers. Panic ensues when thereβs a huge explosion, engulfing the pub in flames. Phil emerges into the, now deserted, blazing bar. The ceiling arch collapses on him, leaving him trapped. Realising Philβs inside, Peggy and Billy re-enter to save him. They drag him out in time amid more explosions as the fire engines arrive. Surveying the carnage of her beloved pub in flames, an overcome Peggy cries: βLet it burn.β
Accepting her fate as Peggy says sheβs calling the police, a frantic Stacey takes Ryan aside to reveal the truth. Theyβre interrupted by Pat who takes Stacey to task; accusing her of making a play for Ryan. Amid the mayhem, as everyone scrambles to get out of the burning Vic, a terrified Stacey cowers in the toilets. Remembering Lilyβs upstairs, Stacey races to fetch her, but finds that theyβre trapped by the flames. Stacey screams for help from a window. Grabbing a ladder, Ryan rescues them. Safely outside, Ryan reassures Stacey that Lilyβs okay. Heβs stunned as Stacey informs him: βSheβs yours.β
