With Linda feeling vulnerable, Dean is happy to take advantage of this situation by taking her off to Blades to comfort her.

As father and son head inside, the others are led into a separate room to watch the proceedings.
After the conference, Denise, Peter and Sharon demand to know why Keeble didn't stop a certain line of questioning from the reporters. However, Phil realises that Keeble believes Ian is hiding something and wanted to make him talk. Phil challenges Ian and demands to know what he is keeping quiet about…

Thursday
Mick tries to hand out vouchers for the Queen Vic's new drinks promotion, but he becomes paranoid that people are avoiding him and his anxiety causes him to snap at Fatboy. Dean recognises that the new promotion is important to Linda, so he whips together a crowd to attend the pub. The only problem is that people start to leave to go home and watch the televised police appeal, so Linda takes immediate action by airing it at the pub.
When the appeal is screened, everyone sees that the police are asking for witnesses to come forward who were on a bus with Lucy on the night that she died - in particular a man in a beanie hat who was sitting behind her and got off at the same stop. Soon afterwards, Phil rants at the punters for watching the appeal at the pub, claiming that it's a disgrace to see real-life tragedy being viewed as entertainment.
Meanwhile, Whitney and Abi notice Dean checking out Lauren at the pub, so they convince her to go and talk to him. Dean spots that Linda is watching and decides to flirt back with Lauren, causing a jealous Peter to make his excuses and leave.

Friday

Jay is concerned about the news, but overcompensates by arranging a gathering at Abi's place to celebrate. Lola can sense Jay's unease but reminds him that this is what Abi wants. However, it later becomes apparent that Jay's tension is not only related to Abi…
Later at the party, Abi appears tense and takes Jay aside to confess something. Soon afterwards, the mood at the celebration worsens when Fatboy turns on the latest news update about Lucy's murder, which causes Lauren to leave and run into Dean. He invites Lauren to join him for a takeaway.
Meanwhile, Linda receives roses at The Vic and hides them from Mick, assuming that they're from Dean. Later, Sharon arrives at the pub and apologises for Phil's aggressive outburst the night before.
