Peggy makes a visit to the Vic
Meanwhile, it's the night of Ian and Jane's wedding. Lauren is in turmoil as she now knows details of what really happened to Lucy and wants the truth to come out. Taking matters into her own hands, Lauren leaves a wedding card with a message inside.
Lauren's strange behaviour doesn't go unnoticed by Max and after Stacey tells him what's going on, he desperately searches for his daughter to find out whether she really knows what happened to Lucy. When Max finds Lauren, she storms out and goes into a cab before he has a chance to talk to her. Max is left fearful over what could happen next, knowing that Lauren can't reveal what she knows about Lucy…
Elsewhere, last-minute preparations are taking place for the wedding, but Ian struggles to cope. He rushes out of his pre-ceremony drinks gathering at The Vic because he is worried that he shouldn't be happy after everything that has happened to Lucy. After reminiscing over the past, Ian finally pulls himself together and tells everyone that it's time to head off to the wedding - but he's shocked when he finds out how Alfie plans to get him there!

In a special flashback episode, EastEnders goes back in time to Good Friday 2014 to finally reveal exactly what happened to Lucy Beale on the night of her murder. With every moment of Lucy's final night explained, viewers will not only learn how she met her fatal end but also why.
This episode sees Hetti Bywater reprise her role as Lucy Beale, while Jamie Lomas and Tanya Franks also return as their respective characters Jake Stone and Rainie Cross. Tonight's writer Jesse O'Mahoney also penned Lucy's final episode last year.
Although the focus will be on Lucy Beale's last moments, the flashback will also feature other stories from a new perspective.

Full live episode
The truth about Lucy's murder is now out, leaving certain residents to face the brutal reality of what really happened to her.
It's not just the truth about why Lucy was killed that is causing shockwaves, as many other secrets and revelations have been exposed for the other residents. Will life ever be the same on Albert Square?
Erm, it's beginning to look a lot like Peggy only interacts with Mick Carter and Dot Cotton... with Phil and Sharon not appearing in her return episode?! That would be a real missed opportunity if so... gutted!
The BBC has said that EastEnders' Live Week's scenes will be clearly highlighted for viewers.
The soap will celebrate its 30th anniversary next week, with episodes on Tuesday (February 17), Wednesday (February 18) and Thursday (February 19) including live inserts, ahead of an entire live episode on Friday (February 20).
Responding to fans on the show's official Facebook page, it was confirmed that the scenes would be "clearly marked" with the official hashtag '#EELive', enabling viewers to know exactly when the cast are broadcasting live from the Elstree set.
Live Week will see the 'Who Killed Lucy Beale?' storyline come to a head, with the killer being revealed in Thursday's hour-long edition. It will be followed by a special 30-minute flashback episode that will take viewers back to Good Friday 2014, revealing the true sequence of events that led to Lucy's (Hetti Bywater) murder.
Barbara Windsor (Peggy Mitchell), Jo Joyner (Tanya Branning) and John Partridge (Christian Clarke) will all make on-screen comebacks across the week.
EastEnders will recreate its first ever scene as part of the soap's 30th anniversary celebrations next week.
The special moment will air during the show's hour-long birthday episode, which has been scheduled for 7.30pm on Thursday, February 19.

Using the actual sound effects from the original opening scenes in 1985, as well as referencing the very first line, viewers will see three characters kicking the door down to Number 23 on Albert Square.
Number 23 is the house where Arthur Fowler, Den Watts and Ali Osman found Reg Cox in episode one of EastEnders, shortly before he died.
Next week, it will be Reg's killer Nick Cotton (John Altman) who will be found in a grim state at the house. However, unlike his victim Reg, he will already be dead.

Dot won't be able to keep her secret under wraps for long
An EastEnders statement teased: "Bosses are keeping tight lipped about which characters are involved, but the scene will be reminiscent of the very first ever episode. It is not the only nod to the past that EastEnders will be giving that week and viewers should keep their eyes open for other moments that mirror past stories."
EastEnders' executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins added: "Live Week allows us to have some fun while also paying respect to our past. Our story producer Alex Lamb had the idea to replicate EastEnders' first ever scene back when we started planning our anniversary - and it has been lovingly modernised for 2015 by anniversary producer Sharon Batten, our longest-serving EastEnders writer Rob Gittins and director Karl Neilson.
"With little touches like this throughout the week, we will hopefully make Julia Smith and Tony Holland proud of the show they created back in 1985."
Meanwhile, the pictured scenes above will air on Tuesday (February 17), showing a grief-stricken Dot Branning (June Brown) pay another visit to her wayward son at Number 23 after watching him die.
EastEnders celebrates its 30-year milestone all next week, with highlights including a 30-minute live episode, the revelation of who killed Lucy Beale, a special flashback episode, Ian and Jane's wedding and the returns of Peggy Mitchell, Tanya Cross and Christian Clarke.
Barbara Windsor has revealed that she will take part in one live scene as part of EastEnders' 30th anniversary week.
Windsor is reprising her iconic role as Peggy Mitchell for an episode during the week, and has now revealed that she will also appear in a live element.

"There shouldn't be live episodes," she joked to the Daily Star. "Luckily, I've only got one live scene on Tuesday but it's so different to doing theatre. There are cameras, there's cables and there's microphones.
"I've already been told to be careful because there's a cable and this big thing above me."
Windsor also expressed disappointment that she will not be joined by former co-star Ross Kemp.
"That Ross is a cheeky bugger. He'll say to me over dinner, 'Yeah, I'm coming back,' and then he doesn't," she said. "I actually thought he would come back this time."
The actress went on to say: "Of course, I'm a little disappointed there won't be one last scene with Peggy and her boys. It would've been good, but a lot of other stuff is happening on the show."
EastEnders begins its anniversary celebration this week.
Really, Babs? You mean besides your appearance? I can't believe that. What else could possibly be happening next week that is anywhere near as significant and important as your return?Quote:
