Mick tries to confide in his friend Mitch about what's going on, but Mitch becomes awkward and doesn't know what to say.

As Billy celebrates his birthday at The Vic, the mood turns sour when Billy tells Janine about Mick's history with Whitney. Furious, Janine turns nasty and whisks Whitney away from him.

While Janine ponders her next move, Mick belatedly gets some much-needed support from Mitch, who apologises for his awkwardness before.

Wanting to help, Mitch urges him to open up about his troubles, promoting Mick to admit that his mind is stopping him from being intimate with Janine.

Mitch does his best to offer Mick some advice, but it's clear that Janine is failing to understand the gravity of the situation.

When her attempt to seduce Mick falls flat, Janine tells Billy that, if the judge gives her custody of Scarlett at the hearing, she is going to leave Walford.

As Janine pursues her plan, she tells Sonia and Scarlett, that if she gets custody, they will be moving to Australia.

Janine later tells Mick she doesn't want his support at the custody hearing, leaving Frankie determined to fix things between them.

She suggests Mick take Janine on a date, but as Janine gets ready, she realises her clothes have shrunk in the wash.

Janine quickly comes up with a new plan, which backfires as well. Although they eventually laugh it off, Mick knows he needs to be honest with Janine and tells her the truth.

Fans will have to see how Janine reacts to this, but they are later heading off to court for Scarlett's hearing together.

With Kat distracted over a situation with Tommy, Eve offers to go to court instead.

At the hearing, Eve reads out a touching statement on Kat's behalf – but what will the outcome be? And what will this mean for Janine's future?

EastEnders airs these scenes next week on BBC One.
