Tanya thinks that Lauren is making progress and so gives her some money to treat herself. However, Cora tells Tanya that Lauren stole from her yesterday and that she could be heading down the same road as Rainie. Not long afterwards, Lauren tells Abi that she did steal from Cora. However, just when Lauren is going to confess to Tanya, she is distraught as her mum compares her to Rainie. Upset over the comparison, Lauren leaves the house.
When Lauren then heads to The Vic, Kirsty respects Tanya's wishes by refusing to serve her. Abi also tries to talk Lauren round, but Lauren tells her sister to go away. Witnessing Lauren's behaviour, Joey goes over to make sure everything is okay. However, Lucy can see the intimacy between the former couple, so she winds Lauren up until she snaps and punches her in the face. Joey tries to restrain Lauren, but she grabs a sugar jar off the table and throws it through the cafe window before storming off…
Meanwhile, Lola isn't getting enough sleep as she is looking after Lexi so closely. When Trish pays a visit, she reminds Lola that it's okay to ask for help and she doesn't have to do everything on her own. At the same time, Sharon visits Phil and tells him that Dennis misses living at his place, but it's clear that she does too as she leans in for a kiss. To her surprise, Phil reacts angrily and tells Sharon that she's pathetic for using Dennis to try and get back with him.
Once Sharon has gone, Phil feels lonely again and considers calling her. However, he is soon distracted by the arrival of Lola, who asks him to look after Lexi so that she can work. Phil's mood changes as he is delighted to have Lexi for the day.
Elsewhere, Dot feels more confident about the church warden position when Poppy gives her a new modern style, while Kirsty continues to struggle with her conscience as Max surprises her with lunch in bed and a present for the baby's nursery.
