Nick fills Dot in on the past eight years
Airs on Monday, December 29 2008 at 20:00 GMT on BBC One
Dot looks on emotionally at her granddaughter who's asleep on the sofa. However, her joy is overshadowed by the bad thoughts about Nick - why has he returned now? Why did he never tell her about Dotty? As Dot sits, torn between her heart and head, Nick enters the room and the pair have a heart-to-heart as to Nick's movements over the past few years. He appears to be speaking candidly to his 'Ma' about the times he needed heroin and companionship. His search for a woman, however, resulted in a one-night stand with Dotty's mother, Sandy, in a squat in Birmingham.
When Dot confronts Nick about his secrecy, Nick's open - they weren't on speaking terms at the time. Dot's adamant that she'll never apologise to him, prompting Nick to confess that he's finally a changed man. His stint in prison changed him for the better and he looks genuinely choked when Dot mentioned his dead son, Ashley. At that moment, Dotty appears in the doorway, crying tears of joy.
Later, Bradley returns to the house and he's disturbed by the state of the place. Max is adamant that nothing untoward will have been happening, but he's later shocked when Dot returns home with Nick and Dotty. Disappointed, Bradley packs his bags and leaves.

Jean secretly meets with Sean in his shabby squat. Even though Jean's happily rattling around with baby Amy, Sean's in a state - he has no idea what to do next. Jean soon realises that Sean's not in good shape, so decides to leave. On her way out, Jean gives Sean a kiss on the cheek and hands him a mobile phone he asked her to bring. Jack and Phil, meanwhile, are searching for Sean as Archie tries to reassure Roxy that they'll have baby Amy back safe and sound. Later, Jack bursts into The Vic and announces that they've got a lead on Sean's whereabouts from an old police friend, resulting an in uneasy truce between Phil and Jack, who head out to continue their search.
Roxy soon heads over to the Slaters' to see Stacey. As emotions run high, the pair have a heated exchange until they realise that they're in the same boat - they've potentially lost Sean. As Stacey accompanies Roxy back to The Vic, they bump into Phil, Jack and Archie, who are heading out. Roxy becomes frantic and Archie is forced to hold his daughter back. Later, Archie decides to do the right thing and call Ronnie to ask her to be there for her sister. When Stacey returns home, she's stunned to see Jean trying to hide the baby things in the house. Stacey quickly realises that they must get to Sean first before Jack, Phil or the police…

Stacey returns with baby Amy
Airs on Thursday, January 1 2009 at 19:30 GMT on BBC One
Roxy's agony continues, as Sean's still missing with baby Amy - he's made no contact with her whatsoever. Meanwhile, across London, Sean's hot-wiring a car with Amy fast asleep in her car seat. Across the Square at the Slaters', Stacey's frantically trying to get hold of Sean on his mobile, but to no avail. In the car, Sean listens to Stacey's messages before sending Roxy a photo of baby Amy in her car seat. She immediately calls Sean back and persuades him to speak to her.
Sean makes contact with Stacey and arranges to meet in a secluded location. As he sits holding baby Amy, who's tightly wrapped up in blankets, the siblings have a heart-felt exchange. Sean entrusts baby Amy in his sister's care before heading off, saying he has something to do. Stacey makes her way back to the Square and heads straight into The Vic with baby Amy and the pub falls silent. The Mitchells are overjoyed and Stacey begs them to call the police search for Sean off. At that moment, Roxy rushes into the bar and cradles her daughter.
Stacey returns home and finds Jean sitting in the kitchen worrying about Sean. The pair discuss Sean's actions and Stacey feels Sean's presence in the room as he slips in behind them. Once alone, Stacey faces Sean, who feels betrayed that Stacey handed Amy back to the Mitchells. Sean stands there, takes Stacey's face in his hands and says: "Dad's waiting for me. Time I went and met him don’t you think?" He kisses Stacey on the forehead and walks out, leaving his sister devastated.

Disaster strikes for Roxy and Sean
Airs on Thursday, January 1 2009 at 20:30 GMT on BBC One
Roxy's thrilled to have baby Amy home and out of harm's way. Roxy, however, defends Sean when Archie suggests he should be in a high-security prison. Over at R&R, meanwhile, Jack receives a surprise visitor when Sean drops by the club. Sean asks Jack to be a good dad to Amy, before making a sharp exit. As Jack's on the phone to Peggy, Sean slips down into The Vic's cellar. When the beer runs out later on, Shirley pops to the cellar and Sean sneaks out when the door is opened and heads upstairs to Roxy and Amy. It's clear that despite everything that's gone on between them, Roxy still loves him.
Agreeing to spend the rest of their lives together, they're sneaking out the back door when Ronnie catches them. Surprisingly, she doesn't stop her sister or tell anyone about their departure. Ronnie's devastated. Over at R&R, Jack's appalled when Ronnie tells him what's just happened and the pair race after Roxy and Sean, who have just pulled up in front of a frozen lake - Roxy realises that they're not heading for Dagenham anymore.
Fear sets in for Roxy when Sean talks about the moment being the end of the road for them all. Reaching in the back, pretending to tend to Amy, Roxy switches on her mobile and calls Jack. Both Ronnie and Jack can hear talking and they hear Sean reveal their location. Luring Sean into a kiss, Roxy shoves him, unlocks the door and climbs out of the car. However, it's freezing cold and Sean's fast approaching her - she can't get baby Amy out of her car seat. Roxy ends up heading onto the ice to lure Sean away from Amy.
Ronnie and Jack arrive and tend to Amy, who's still in the car, and glance at the lake where they see Roxy and Sean in the middle. As Sean reaches for Roxy, the ice cracks, causing Roxy and Sean to plunge into the icy depths…
