1. Yolande calls her wedding off
Against Yolande's wishes, Patrick and Howie place a bet that wins them £6,000.
Afterwards, Kim ends up in an argument with Howie, when he reveals that he overheard her talking to Denise about his low funds.
Meanwhile, Yolande voices her anger at Patrick over his gambling habit and declares that the wedding isn't happening. The family then head to The Vic, with no clue that Patrick is about to be in harm's way.

2. Oscar commits assault
Still in deep trouble, Oscar receives a demand from Mike for £5,000 to secure his family's safety. In response, Oscar unsuccessfully tries to convince Ian to agree on a business deal, leaving the teenager with no choice but to tell Lauren the truth about his messy predicament.
Later, Oscar breaks into No.20 with the intention to steal the cash that Patrick won earlier that day. However, the 85-year-old catches him in the act – which provokes Oscar to push him to the floor.
As Patrick lies unconscious, how much damage has Oscar done?
3. Lauren confronts Oscar
With Patrick lying unconscious, Oscar attempts to leave the house, but Howie returns before he can make it out. The Branning boy hides the best he can, before managing to escape without his face being recognised.
Next, Kim and Denise return home, and Yolande accompanies the family to the hospital.
Elsewhere, Lauren feels suspicious when Oscar expresses concern for Patrick – and later confronts him with the stolen cash as he tries to flee Walford…
4. Howie provides a statement
As Patrick's loved ones anxiously wait for news at the hospital, police arrive to take a witness statement from Howie.
The officers also carry out door-to-door visits around the Square in search of further intel, which leaves Oscar feeling very nervous. With the pressure mounting, he once again considers fleeing from the Square.
5. Eve supports Avani
Having found out about Avani's pregnancy, Eve prepares to support the teenager at her 12-week scan. Although, it's clear that Eve feels uncertain about her wife's plan to raise the baby.
So, when Vinny returns home from Ash's wedding, Eve grabs the chance to speak with Avani privately, as well as encouraging Suki to talk things over with her son.
Later in the week, Eve and Avani cover their tracks when Priya discovers a hospital receipt in Avani's coat. Will Priya believe their lie?
6. Ross receives a surprise call
On Vicki's advice, Ross brings Joel and Tommy along for a day's work at the timber yard. However, the dad-of-one becomes worried for the two teens when he overhears the type of language that his colleagues are using on the site.
Later on, Ross feels even more concerned when Joel's mum gives him a call. What does she have to say?
7. Joel lashes out
Following the phone call, Ross prepares himself to tell Joel that his mum is planning to remarry.
Thereafter, Joel visits Tommy at The Vic, where he encourages him to steal alcohol from the barrel store. Ross, Vicki, Kat and Alfie soon discover the pair and lambast them, before Joel shocks the adults by using derogatory language towards Kat.
8. Ross makes another discovery
Joel shares a video with Ross which features an online influencer that he idolises. Ross misinterprets the content as innocent.
Later, Ross makes a worrying discovery on Joel's laptop and destroys it, believing that he's saving his son from himself.
9. Stacey and Vicki face Joel's anger
Ross makes it clear that Joel won't be returning to the timber yard after his latest bad behaviour. Vicki puts pressure on Ross to deal with Joel's unacceptable actions once and for all, while Harvey also steps in to provide some parenting advice.
When Joel apologises to Kat, she agrees that he can carry on hanging out with Tommy. However, when Joel overhears Vicki and Stacey bonding over parenting and men, he's left raging over their comments and soon shows his true colours yet again.
10. Callum gets flirty again
Callum is clearly still tempted by Johnny as he flirts with him over text. Following a call from Ben, Callum shifts his attention to cheering Lexi up.
Jay spots the flirty messages on Callum's phone and once again warns him against taking this further.
11. Elaine gets a new opportunity
Elaine struggles with the lack of direction in her life now that she's no longer in charge at The Vic.
She steps in to support Cindy at The Albert again, as her former rival is short-staffed and struggling. Putting their differences aside, Cindy offers Elaine the job of co-manager.
