Janine's attempts to make peace with Michael are met with indifference - has she lost him forever? Lucy watches with glee as Mandy struggles to deal with a visitor from her past.

Janine tells Michael she wants him - not just for the baby, for her. She’s upset when Michael seems unmoved. Janine’s cheered when Billy tells her a developer wants to talk to her, and dashes off to the Gherkin for the meeting. Arriving, Janine finds Michael waiting for her in the empty restaurant. He proposes. Delighted, Janine says yes and Michael summons a waiter with flowers and champagne. He draws a ring onto Janine’s finger. Michael’s stunned when Janine insists he’ll have to sign a pre-nup. They stare out over the city.
Mandy’s desperate for her mum to leave, but Ian’s pleased when Lorraine offers to cook lunch. Lorraine wangles a drink, and the lowdown on Ian, from Masood. Mandy realises Lorraine’s planning on staying more than one night and tells her to leave. Mandy buys Ian’s favourite takeaway. She tells Ian she thought Lorraine would make him see her differently. Ian insists he loves everything about Mandy and reveals Lorraine’s still there, he’s asked her to stay and thinks she and Mandy should put the past in the past.
Realising it would mean a lot to Lauren, Lucy apologises to Whitney and the three girls share a lunch of chips and wine. The girls discuss money and Lucy and Whitney get on well. They’re shocked when they realise Lauren’s drunk two bottles of wine by herself and help hide Lauren and the evidence when Tanya arrives home unexpectedly.
In his will, Yusef’s left Zainab everything. Things go wrong all day and Zainab decides Yusef’s money must be cursed.
It’s Lola’s first day working for Janine and she cleans the gym with Bianca. They bicker, and Bianca threatens to tell Janine Lola’s rude and lazy. Lola insists she has to make Billy proud and is grateful when Bianca tells Janine she’s doing fine.
