Geoff is still causing misery from beyond the grave, as Alya reels from the discovery that he has cut Yasmeen out of his will and left everything to Tim. Feeling wretched, Tim insists that he doesn't want a penny of his dead dad's dosh and it's all rightfully Yasmeen's, but Adam warns him that it isn't so straightforward.

Concerned about the toll this is all having on her fragile gran, Alya assures Yasmeen that the sale of the community centre and the funds from Tim will be enough to clear their debts. But when Yasmeen receives a letter containing a County Court judgement, it tips her over the edge. As Tim then arrives at Speed Daal, ready to transfer over Geoff's assets, she suffers a panic attack.

Struggling to breathe and clutching her chest, terrified Yasmeen flees the restaurant and locks herself in Number 6, leading Tim and Alya to force their way into the property, where they find her collapsed on the floor.

After Yasmeen is rushed to hospital, the doctors confirm she has suffered a panic attack as a result of the immense stress she has been under, leading Alya to fear that she'll forever be haunted by the ghost of her evil ex.

Desperate to regain her place in the Dingle family circle of trust, Charity hatches a plan to steal a client's contact information from Kim Tate and pass it onto Chas, hoping it'll reverse the fortunes of the failing Woolpack.

After breaking into the HOP office, Charity starts rifling through the confidential files but her scam goes spectacularly wrong when Al walks in and catches her red-handed.

In a moment of panic, she attempts to distract Al by lobbing the trophy from his business award in the air as she makes a bolt for the door. But disaster strikes when Al catches the flying object and falls over, banging his head hard on the way down.

As a motionless Al lies sprawled on the floor, Charity realises the severity of the situation. Will she try and save her enemy's life, or flee the scene and leave Al to die alone?

Heartbroken by the loss of her baby, Ruby tries to put on a brave face as she ignores Martin's advice to rest up and heads off to work. But it's all too much too soon, and after doubling over in agony, Ruby goes to hospital. The doctors reveal she has been haemorrhaging from her miscarriage and will have to undergo a procedure.

Feeling helpless, Martin heads home and bumps into Stacey, who wants to say sorry for the fight she had with Ruby, which resulted in her tumbling down the stairs.

The following day, Stacey apologises to Ruby for what happened between them at the club. But having already made her former friend believe the fall caused her to lose the baby, Ruby stoops even lower by telling Martin and Kush that Stacey deliberately pushed her.

Devastated Stacey pleads her innocence, but when Ruby then reveals how she and Kush locked her in her office and forced her to take a pregnancy test, Martin sees red and punches Kush.

Ruby's web of lies could be about to unravel, though. Lily, who knows the truth about her miscarriage, confronts her and wants to know why she's pinning the blame on her mum.

Vowing that Victor must pay for the devastation he has caused, Sid tells Ste that he's planning to plant a bug in the gangster's car to gain enough evidence to get him sent down. Panicked, Ste turns to James for help in stopping Sid but, wanting Juliet out of prison, James supports the dangerous scheme and eggs the lad on.

After managing to successfully sneak a listening device into Victor's glove box, Sid can't believe his good fortune when he's able to trick the drug baron into making an incriminating confession about his role in the County Lines operation.

Sid dashes home and starts downloading the confession onto a USB stick for the police, but Victor – who realises he has been double-crossed – is hot on his heels.

The villain tries to smash his way into the Lomaxes' flat, but Peri manages to scare him off before he has a chance to get to Sid. Brave Ste puts his neck on the line by acting as a decoy while Sid slips out of the house and heads to the cop shop armed with his evidence.

Sadly, Sid's luck runs out when menacing Victor tracks him down to the Dog car park and approaches with menacing intent...

With Brent back under the roof of Number 32, the place has turned into a bit of a pigsty and Nicolette is not impressed. After being urged by Jane to be more sympathetic, Nic decides to cut the untidy teen some slack, but is then horrified to find a knife in his possession.

As Brent reveals he carries the blade around for protection, Nicolette hands it back. They're spotted by Paul, who immediately suspects foul play on her part.

Having had Nicolette's card marked for weeks, Paul can barely contain his satisfaction as he tells David and Aaron that he saw Nicolette giving Brent a knife. But the smug grin is soon wiped from his face when Nicolette reveals what really happened and Brent backs her up.

While Paul seethes, Nicolette and Brent unite in their disdain for the ruthless Robinson, vowing to take him on together.

Later, Faith overhears Paddy and Chas discussing whether her staying in the village is worth all the aggro. Fearing she'll never be able to make up for the past, she decides it'll be best for everyone if she slipped away quietly.

Zak makes a last ditch attempt to restore relations by calling Cain round and urging him to let go of his belief that Faith never loved him.

As Simon declares that he has been dealing drugs to put food on the table, Leanne is wracked with guilt that her grief over Oliver has prevented her from realising what was happening right under her nose.

Leanne turns to Toyah for support, but is hurt after misreading the situation and thinking her sister is making a dig at her parenting skills.

Returning to the flat, Leanne finds Simon there, with Jacob in tow. Feeling intimidated by his presence, she retreats to her bedroom. Tempers flare the following morning when Jacob makes a cruel comment about Oliver, and with Simon refusing to cut ties with his thuggish mate, Leanne goes to Carla and Peter for help.

Tempted by the sound of the money-making operation, Ben heads off to The Arches to meet with Kheerat and gangster Stas, while Vinny waits nearby with a bag of cash. But as Kheerat lays out their offer, the atmosphere turns ugly when Stas accuses the Mitchells of bad-mouthing him and demands his money back otherwise he'll ruin them.

While Kheerat and Ben try and deal with the escalating drama, Vinny is armed with Stas's dosh elsewhere and finds himself in peril when he's confronted by a thief he had an earlier altercation with.

Not being sensitive to the fact that his girlfriend has been widowed twice over and is clearly anxious about taking the plunge again, clueless Justin goes and puts his foot in it by asking if she wants to get hitched.

Leah's stung by Justin's lack of awareness and confides in Irene that she's not sure she wants a third wedding. But with Justin so fixated on the idea of a happy ever after, the once-solid couple's future is suddenly looking uncertain.
