In the midst of his gruelling battle with his rapidly deteriorating mental health, Ravi Gulati<\/a>\u2019s (Aaron Thiara<\/a>) struggle is discovered by Suki Panesar<\/a>\u00a0(Balvinder Sopal<\/a>), who vows to pay for therapy. Is this the turning point Ravi so desperately needs?<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, creepy Bea Pollard (Ronni Ancona)<\/a> zeroes in on\u00a0Ian Beale<\/a>\u00a0(Adam Woodyatt<\/a>), Sam Mitchell\u00a0<\/a>(Kim Medcalf<\/a>) receives the results of her latest round of testing following her breast cancer treatment and Oscar Branning<\/a>\u00a0(Pierre Counihan-Moullier<\/a>) tries to settle the professional rivalry between his sister, Lauren<\/a>\u00a0(Jacqueline Jossa<\/a>) and dad, Max Branning<\/a>\u00a0(Jake Wood<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Zack

It\u2019s the day of Vicki and Ross\u2019 hen and stag-dos, but they\u2019re in no mood to celebrate with the prospect of Joel Marshall<\/a>\u00a0(Max Murray<\/a>) returning to live with them hanging over their heads and Vicki hits Ross with a final ultimatum: it\u2019s her or Joel.<\/p>\n

Zack spills the tea of his tryst with Vicki to Sam, but their conversation is cut short when he\u2019s roped into acting as a stripper for the hen do. <\/p>\n

Spotting the sizzling tension between Zack and Vicki, Kathy Beale<\/a>\u00a0(Gillian Taylforth<\/a>) pulls the fire alarm to part them. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bea agrees when Ian proposes that they go on a date.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Vicki

While Zack pleads with Vicki, she stands firm that there\u2019s nothing between them before she\u2019s boosted by Ross reassuring her that Joel will live elsewhere upon his release. <\/p>\n

Zack seeks solace with Sam, who\u2019s received the all clear from the doctors, before confronting Vicki and announcing his intention to move on. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re both stopped in their tracks, though, when Vicki receives a blackmail text with a picture of them kissing.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Oscar

Despite Oscar\u2019s best intentions to avoid Josh Goodwin (Joshua Vaughan)<\/a>, he\u2019s forced by Kim Fox<\/a>\u00a0(Tameka Empson<\/a>) to act as a model for him to demonstrate his hairdressing talents on. As the tension between them begins to rise, though, Oscar bolts.<\/p>\n

Bea jealously sabotages Honey<\/a>\u00a0(Emma Barton<\/a>) and Billy Mitchell<\/a>\u2019s (Perry Fenwick<\/a>) night by copying her dress and crashing their date at Knight\u2019s Fusion with Ian, before using her fraudulent credit card to pay for the entire meal.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Mark

Vicki admits all to Mark Fowler Jr<\/a>\u00a0(Stephen Aaron-Sipple<\/a>) and attempts to enlist him in helping track down the blackmailer.<\/p>\n

When Vicki mistakenly believes that it\u2019s Ian, she\u2019s forced to reveal the truth, to which he encourages her to be truthful with Ross.<\/p>\n

Reaching a dead end, Vicki panics further when the blackmailer demands \u00a320,000 in return for their silence.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Howie

Nugget Gulati\u2019s (Juhaim Rasul Choudhury) is wounded when he learns that a schoolmate has posted a video of him having a seizure online and while Priya Nandra-Hart<\/a>\u00a0(Sophie Khan Levy<\/a>) attempts to soothe him, Ravi insists that he\u2019ll deal with the issue.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ross sets out to organise a flash mob of Albert Square residents to surprise Vicki at the wedding, while Oscar concocts a scheme to settle Lauren and Max\u2019s clash over their differing sales techniques.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Lauren

Will Mitchell (Freddie Phillips) is uncovered as the person who uploaded the video of Nugget.<\/p>\n

Billy, Honey, Will, Nugget and Ravi head to the caf\u00e9 to settle things, though Nugget is heartbroken when a distant Ravi fails to defend him in his usual manner. <\/p>\n
