The storyline kicks off when Janine discovers that Ryan has abandoned her on her birthday to visit the town hall with Stacey, where they hope to get their young child's birth certificate changed.
When Ryan makes matters worse by lying about his whereabouts, Janine is left furious and vows that she will make him pay. Soon afterwards, her latest scheme is set in motion when she declares that she and Ryan will be attending a party being held at the Slaters' that night.
Later, when the couple arrive at the bash, Ryan wastes no time before joining in the celebratory atmosphere - enjoying Stacey's company and taking part in some apple-bobbing.

Charlie Brooks has revealed hints of what fans can expect from a forthcoming EastEnders plot which sees her character Janine Malloy facing serious danger on a level crossing.
In Friday's episode of the BBC soap, twisted Janine stops Ricky's car on the hazardous spot as she drives away from Walford with husband Ryan and his baby daughter Lily as passengers.
While stationary on the level crossing, Janine gives Ryan an ultimatum over their relationship, asking whether he wants to be with her or Lily's mother Stacey Slater. However, the situation soon becomes a full-blown crisis when the barriers come down and Janine finds herself unable to start the car.
Speaking to Soaplife about Janine's extreme actions, Brooks explained: "It's her way of making a statement, of showing Ryan how let down she feels. She was scared of falling in love and what we see coming out is how dangerous Janine can be when her heart is broken.
"But when the car stalls with the train hurtling towards them, she's as scared as he is."
The actress added: "She thought if she took baby Lily and Ryan away from the Square, it would mean Stacey couldn't get between them anymore. She was acting out of desperation."
Fans will discover whether Janine, Ryan and Lily survive the train danger in next Monday's episode.

EastEnders schemer Janine Butcher will be taking centre stage in this year's Christmas episodes.
A new synopsis released by the BBC confirms that Janine will have one of the main storylines in the Walford soap's festive editions.
Viewers have recently seen Janine kill her estranged husband Michael Moon, before framing Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks) for the crime.
It has now been revealed that the drama for Janine is far from over as EastEnders' Christmas storyline explores whether she will kill again in a bid to protect her secret.
The official synopsis for EastEnders' Christmas plot reads: "In Walford, Janine's lies look set to be exposed, but with the pressure mounting and nowhere to run, Janine once again takes matters into her own murderous hands.
"But will she kill again, will she be caught or will she flee Walford before the truth comes out?"
Fans know that Charlie Brooks, who plays Janine, is leaving EastEnders to pursue new projects.

EastEnders star Charlie Brooks has described her decision to leave the show as brave and frightening.
It was announced in October that the actress, who has played Janine Butcher on and off since 1999, is departing the show to pursue new projects.
Speaking about her exit to The Mirror, Brooks said: "I was so lucky in landing a role like Janine when I was only 17.
"I grew up there and the thought of not being there does sometimes frighten me. I have days where I am hugely insecure and question my ability to hack it elsewhere but, ultimately, the excitement of the challenge overrules those feelings.
"It is a brave decision for me though. I will miss the financial security."
However, Brooks also noted that leaving the show will allow her to spend more time with 8-year old daughter Kiki.
She said: "Kiki cried her eyes out when I told her I was leaving. She has been on set a lot over the years. But I can't wait to do all those regular mummy things with Kiki, like picking her up from school and baking cakes.
"Between the long hours and an hour-and-a-half travelling time either side of my working day, I have missed out on those things."
Viewers have recently seen Janine kill her estranged husband Michael Moon, before framing Alice Branning (Jasmyn Banks) for the crime.
However, it has been revealed that the drama for Janine is far from over and a big EastEnders Christmas storyline will explore whether she will kill again in a bid to protect her secret.
EastEnders continues tonight at 8pm on BBC One.
