Alfie fights back after becoming embroiled in another of Derek's deals - but has he the courage to see his plan through? Kim's attempts to impress Ray have disastrous consequences.

Derek and Alfie plan to steal £12,000 worth of booze from the drayman’s van. Billy’s baffled why Alfie’s agreed to be Derek’s dogsbody. Later, Alfie convinces Derek to accompany him as Billy’s pulled out. Waiting for the drayman, Derek’s antsy and they’re about to leave when Trevor the drayman arrives, informing them he had the van full of booze stolen at gun point. Enraged, Derek’s convinced Phil Mitchell’s behind it. Later, in an alleyway, a triumphant Alfie congratulates Billy and Trevor and tells them Derek bought it – Alfie’s no-one’s dogsbody.
Kim’s tarted up in a revealing dress for work, only to discover she’s been drafted into the kitchen filleting fish for Good Friday. Kim’s jealous to overhear Ray flirt with Bianca and hacks at the fish, slicing off Ray’s finger. Waiting in hospital, Kim and Ray discuss why they flirt. Ray thinks Kim’s dress makes her look cheap, but promises Kim he’s not playing her. They kiss tenderly.

Tiffany and Morgan plead dinner from Ray. Embarrassed, Bianca asks Ray for football boots for Morgan who’s made the school team. Tiffany’s jealous. Bianca takes out another short term loan.
