How has Mick got the right to take Whitney and Lee's flat deposit back? I assume he paid it in the first place, but surely a landlord would be obliged to return the money to the tenants and it would be their place to return it to the person from whom they borrowed it? As for Mick giving notice and Jack accepting it without consulting Whitney...
Mick is so controlling that it's no wonder Lee has emotional problems. He was lovely when he first moved to Walford, but, as we know, ordinary people with normal lives who move to Albert Square become shells of themselves within months. Look what happened to poor tragic Ronnie and Roxy...
Jonny is more concerned about Whitney than his own distressed brother...
I feel for Denise and her quandary.

I was hoping Whitney was going to see Bianca again and stop in Milton Keynes.

I don't have any problem with Whitney per se. She was hopeless with Lee's depression but at least she tried to help in her own way and she's still very young. The same can't be said of Mick. It's just super annoying that the Carters have more sympathy for her than for Lee.
As for her attraction to Mick (for which Whitney receives a lot of hate online), she was groomed into having a sexual relationship with a father figure from a young age, so I see it as perfectly understandable that she's developed sexual feelings for another father figure (especially one who's been so overly supportive). Tony manipulated her thoroughly into believing their relationship was natural, and I imagine that's an extremely difficult state of mind to shake off completely.

The Lee storyline - from depression, setting up a robbery after spiraling into payday loan debt has been a bit depressing. Some might say true EE style.
We saw a complete stranger have more empathy for Lee than his family, and the crippling pressure society and relationships put on people to spend more than they have. But we also saw a character descend well into hell - dealing with depression, debt, disastrous decisions and then taking advice from a dad rather than the lovely Patrick (I thought Lee and Patrick's conversation was going to help Lee stay) ...
Whitney was kept in the dark, but maybe naively showed little sign of giving a *&^% about how they would afford to have their own (vile little) bedsit. She must shoulder some of the blame. And the kiss. Well unforgiveable for them both.. and is the tension smouldering away still? Maybe now Mick's shown her he wants her near him still ... it's a dodgy dangerous game to be playing.
Bit in bold 1: I'm not so sure Whitney should shoulder some of the blame for their financial situation. Yes, she was demanding about the flat, but Lee insisted that he had a well paid job so she believed they could afford it. What newly married (or was it about to be married?) couple wouldn't want their own place if they could afford it? There was no reason for Whitney to suspect Lee was taking out payday loans to finance their life.
Bit in bold 2: Yes, once again Mick is being very stupid. It might seem cruel now, but it would be best for both of them if she went to live with Bianca. Living together, in the absence of Lee and Linda, when they're both at low ebbs and there's an attraction simmering between them is asking for trouble.

What happened to Whitney studying childcare to work in a creche, did she give it up for to work in the pub, she could get a job not in the pub, ask Sharon or Vincent, is the E20 closed down?
She was made redundant (or possibly fired?) from her childcare job which is when she started working in the Vic. I don't think it's likely Whitney would have the strength to stay away from Mick at the moment because she's become emotionally dependant upon him. He needs to put space between them.

She was made redundant from the school.
