Garry proposes to Dawn again
Airs on Monday, February 9 2009 at 20:00 GMT on BBC One
Minty's surprised to hear that Garry's been offered a job on a cruise ship, and news travels around the Square that Garry could be leaving for pastures new. As Dawn and Minty worry about Garry's rumoured departure, Garry reveals that he's not going anywhere. Talking about his future in Walford with Dawn, he's happy when she shares his visions of the future, but it soon becomes apparent that Dawn is simply talking about them being together as friends. When Garry suggests that they could be a family, Dawn makes her excuses and leaves to go for a walk with Summer.
Later, Garry arranges to go out for dinner with Dawn at the Argee Bargee and she can't help but agree. Garry's not impressed that Heather, Minty, Ricky and Bianca are also there. Talking about her life, Dawn tells Garry that she's happy that she found the perfect man and, thinking she meant him, Garry signals to the waiter to come to the table. When Dawn reveals that she was talking about Jase, Garry realises his mistake but it's too late and the waiter serves Dawn a cocktail with a diamond ring at the bottom. Forced into a corner, Garry gets down on bended knee and proposes. Dawn tells him that them being together will never happen before running out of the restaurant. He chases after her but reality hits him hard and he begins to cry.
Meanwhile, Bianca takes Ricky to the Argee Bargee to tell him the truth about Tiffany's potential paternity. The conversation soon turns to Tiffany, and Bianca tries to seize the moment but bottles it at the last minute. Frustrated by Bianca's odd mood, Ricky decides to leave. Bianca follows him across the Square and then returns home to find Tiffany in her pyjamas. She hands Ricky a collage she's made but Ricky catches sight of what Bianca scribbled down earlier in the day: 'Ricky. I have to tell you, I think you may be Tiffany’s dad.'
Elsewhere, Heather's feeling down about what she heard Minty saying about her the previous week, prompting Shirley to give Minty a good talking to; and Minty takes Heather to the Argee Bargee in an attempt to apologise for his comments last week.
Whitney goes on a date
Airs on Tuesday, February 10 2009 at 19:30 GMT on BBC One
Whitney bumps into a young guy in the launderette who she's never seen on the Square before. Later, Ricky finds Todd Taylor in the house as he's been valeting the cabs for Pat Cars. As Whitney searches through the washing in the kitchen, she finds a pair of Todd's pants - there's been a mix-up at the launderette. Although Ricky makes light of the situation, Whitney's mortified. Clearly having taken a liking to Whitney, Todd asks her out on a date, but Whitney knocks him back. Ricky suggests that she should consider getting to know Todd a little better, but Bianca's not happy with Ricky's interference. Later, however, Bianca relents and suggests that she should maybe go on the date if she feels up to it.
In the café, Whitney and Todd are happily talking about the Jackson clan, but Todd brings up the subject of her ex-boyfriends. Feeling pressurised, Whitney excuses herself and pretends to make a call outside. When she doesn't return, Todd finds Whitney in the Square swigging vodka from the bottle before she shouts at him to go away.
Meanwhile, Garry asks Minty how far off the boat renovation is and Dawn walks in on their conversation. The pair talk about their relationship and as Dawn tries to apologise for turning his proposal down, she hands back the diamond ring and suggests he save it for that special someone. Later, Dawn asks Garry to look after Summer while she gets her nails done and Minty is quick to point out that Garry is a mug. That night, Garry makes the sudden realisation that he can't cope with his friendship with Dawn and after a drink with Minty, he heads to the Arches, jumps into a car and drives off into the night…
Elsewhere, Bianca comes clean with Ricky that there's a strong possibility that he's Tiffany's father but she worries how the news will affect Whitney; and Heather and Shirley head off to find George Michael's house.
Whitney makes a pass at Ricky
Airs on Thursday, February 12 2009 at 19:30 GMT on BBC One
Shirley's shouting at Heather who's fallen into the garden of what they believe to be George Michael's house. Heather, however, believes it's destiny to meet the man of her dreams. Shirley reminds her that they could both be arrested for trespassing! The pair creep up to the window of the house in the hope of catching a glimpse of him. After taking a photo, Heather runs to the bins and locates a foil yoghurt lid as a lucky charm.
At that moment, a torch light shines across the garden, forcing Shirley and Heather to retreat to the street. Shirley suddenly notices George Michael's private number plate on a car up the next door neighbour's drive. Shirley, however, keeps quiet in order not to spoil Heather's 'moment'. Back on the Square, they tell Dawn and Minty about their experience. Later, Heather decides she needs a new man, so heads to R&R. Shirley makes a quiet call on her mobile which Dawn overhears - she's hired an escort for the night for £70 to chat up Heather.
Meanwhile, Bianca's livid with Todd for letting Whitney run off on their date. She soon learns that Whitney's disappearance was down to Todd asking about her past boyfriends. Bianca blames Ricky for pushing Whitney to go on a date when she wasn't ready and suggests that he'd be a terrible dad to the rest of the kids. Ricky eventually tracks Whitney down and tries to carry her home. However, she misreads the signals and makes a pass at Ricky. As Whitney begs a shocked Ricky not to tell Bianca, he carries a passed-out Whitney home and Bianca's relieved at her safe return.
Elsewhere, Minty and Dawn realise that Garry's taken a car from the Arches and the next morning, Garry leaves a voicemail on the house answering machine, before it goes silent…
Minty and Dawn receive some shocking news
Airs on Friday, February 13 2009 at 20:00 GMT on BBC One
At R&R, Dawn tells Shirley that she shouldn't be meddling in Heather's love life. Heather, meanwhile, is becoming more and more tipsy as she knocks back the free champagne. Giving Minty the brush-off, Heather makes a move on a young, attractive guy called Eddie - the regulars can't believe what they're seeing. The pair begin to kiss and all Dawn can think about is how Shirley has paid someone to make a laughing stock of her supposed best friend.
As Heather's about to leave with Eddie, Dawn reveals that Shirley hired an escort for her for the night. Heather's candescent with rage when she realises that everyone's been laughing at her. As Shirley tries to apologise, Heather reveals that she was the only one she trusted and that trust has now gone. Later, Shirley bumps into a guy in R&R who asks for his £70 fee, even though he didn't meet with Heather. Shirley feels awful - Eddie was the real deal for Heather and she's ruined her chances. In a toilet cubicle, Heather sits and reflects on her life but is distracted when a hand appears under the cubicle with her lucky foil yoghurt lid…
Meanwhile, Darren clicks the voicemail on and listens to Garry's message. Both Minty and Dawn are naturally still worried about their friend's whereabouts, while Darren deletes the message. Later that night, the police arrive at R&R looking for Minty. They inform him and Dawn that they've found Garry's car abandoned in a remote location near the cliffs at Dover with all of his possessions inside and suggest that he may have committed suicide.
Elsewhere, Dawn meets a guy called Les on the market and he asks her to attend his photoshoot later that day, which Dawn happily agrees to; Bianca takes swabs from Ricky and Tiffany so she can send off the DNA testing kit; and Callum can't believe Dawn fell for Les's story.
