There's more misery when Ben gets and unwelcome visitor
Stacey and Lily adjust to their new situation.
MONDAY
Kat Slater has a shock conversation with her ex Alfie Moon, when he admits that their son Tommy Moon punched him the stomach.
Tommy was kicking off after finding out that he was being made a fool of on social media in a video showing him being publicly told off by his dad.
Following the incident, Alfie and Tommy's stepdad Phil Mitchell decided to take matters into their own hands. He'd already lashed out at Kat in another incident and the situation was threatening to get out of control.
Encouraging Tommy to see that he couldn't go around hitting his loved ones, they took him down the Boxing Den to train properly in the ring.
The whole deal is news to Kat, however, who is stunned by her son's continuing violent outbursts! She's also angry with fiance Phil for keeping it secret from her.
What Kat doesn't realise is that Phil's been keeping it all under wraps partly for Alfie's sake, as the punch led to Alfie going to hospital and discovering he may have prostate cancer.
In trying to placate Kat, Phil lets slip about Alfie's cancer worries and reveals that his results are due out today. Terrified for her former husband, Kat drops everything to be with him at the hospital.
After supporting Alfie, a frazzled Kat returns home and she confronts Phil yet again. Furious with him for keeping such big secrets from her, the couple have a massive row.
Are their wedding plans about to be derailed?
Stacey Slater is shattered after a sleepless night now that they have a baby in the house! Little Charli has been unsettled and new grandma Stacey has taken charge, not trusting teen mum Lily Slater to cope.
Fed up by her mum's interference, Lily assures Stacey that she's capable of looking after her own daughter and she encourages Stacey to go to work at the bap van with Eve Unwin.
Still unsure that it's a good idea, Stacey finds herself talked into it and heads to the market.
It seems Stacey's fears are about to come true, when Charli's granddad Jack Branning marches over to the bap van. He reveals that he's just found Lily with Charli and the baby's dad Ricky Mitchell clowning around with the baby!
Horrified and feeling humiliated by Jack's fury that she left Lily and the baby alone, Stacey rips off her apron and heads out to find Lily.
Dragging her daughter home, she warns her that she's NOT happy with her reckless behaviour!
Jay Brown is suspicious when his daughter Lexi Pearce is being unusually secretive about her phone.
Determined to find out what she's been up to, he's alarmed when he realises that she's been texting her grandma Emma Harding, who is back in the Square!
Emma reveals they've been having a back-and-forth conversation for weeks, and Lexi has admitted she's been struggling.
Emma tells Jay that she's really worried about her granddaughter but Jay doesn't want to hear anything Emma has to say and he chucks her out of the house.

Chelsea Fox is pleased for her friend but she's sad to realise that Whitney and Zack will be moving out.
TUESDAY
Emma Harding shocked Jay Brown when she returned to Albert Square.
The absent grandma has NOT been welcome in Walford ever since Emma abandoned her dying daughter Lola Pearce for a second time, unable to cope with her advancing illness from a brain tumour.
When Emma first turned up in the Square, she secretly slipped granddaughter Lexi Pearce her phone number and it seems they've been having clandestine chats ever since.
Lexi's dad Ben Mitchell has already insisted that Emma stay out of their lives for good, not wanting Lexi to get hurt again. When he finds out that Emma's turned up like a bad penny, he is fuming and bans her from seeing her granddaughter.
Ben's mum Kathy Beale can understand Ben's point of view, but she cautions him to put Lexi's feelings first and let her have a relationship with her grandmother.
Lexi's other dad Jay Brown has agreed to meet up with Emma to find out what's been going on. When she shows him the heartbreaking messages that Lexi has been sending her, he's horrified...
Emma explains that Lexi has wanted to put on a brave face in front of her three dads, Jay, Ben and Ben's husband Callum Highway. Knowing that they're all struggling with their own grief. Emma has been the only person that Lexi felt she could be honest with.
Realising that Lexi really does need Emma in her life, Jay agrees to talk to Ben about letting them have time together.
Chelsea Fox is feeling down about Whitney Dean and Zack Hudson moving out of her house. The friends have had a nice little family situation going and Whitney has been a good aunty to Chelsea's little boy Jordan.
Chelsea is genuinely happy for Whitney and Zack's new chapter, as they move into their own place to become foster parents. Confiding in mum Denise Fox, Chelsea reveals she's sad about being left on her own.
A worried Denise suggests that she and Jordan move back in with her and hubby Jack Branning.
Although appreciating her mum's kind offer, Chelsea realises that it's not practical and she admits her dilemma to boyfriend Ravi Gulati.
Instantly spying an opportunity, Ravi suggests that he and his son Nugget Gulati could move in with her instead. It's a big step to move in together and Chelsea's not sure it's the best idea.
Keen to win her round, Ravi puts forward all the reasons why it would be a good thing but Chelsea later admits to Whitney that she thinks it's too soon in their relationship.
After Whit encourages Chelsea to take a leap of faith, she tells Ravi the good news.
One person who is DEFINITELY not happy about the couple's plans is Denise, who furiously warns Ravi that one day, Chelsea will see what kind of man he really is...

After Denise's near affair with charming ex-con Ravi, Denise knows how easy it is to get drawn in by him.
She saw the real man behind the mask when she put a stop to their flirtation and he blackmailed her before making a beeline for Chelsea.
It soon became clear the REAL reason he was getting up close and personal with the Fox ladies was to find out if Denise's copper hubby Jack Branning was investigating him for his criminal goings on!
Chelsea dumped him when she found out the truth but he had fallen for her hard and he talked her into getting back with him.
After Denise makes it abundantly clear to Chelsea that letting Ravi move in is a really bad idea, Chelsea realises that she needs to try and talk her mum into some kind of truce with Ravi and his family.
When Chelsea arranges a drinks party for the two families, Denise reluctantly agrees to go. Jack points out that she needs to be there for Chelsea, as well as keeping a watch on Ravi.
Things look set to kick off, however, when Denise overhears Gina and Anna Knight rowing about Ravi dealing drugs to Gina and she tells Jack she's going to report Ravi to the police.

Reminding Stacey that Theo is out of her life and he won't be causing trouble again, Jean insists that Lily and Charli are safe and Lily needs to learn how to be a mum.
Comforted by Jean's words, she agrees to back off. But when she goes outside she finds something horrifying...
Could Theo be terrorising her again?
