Summary[]
Peggy's secret from Ronnie is revealed. Meanwhile, Roxy is having the time of her life and Phil's errand doesn't go as planned.
Sean is agitated by Billy's reluctance to disclose Roxy's whereabouts. Sean makes a beeline upstairs and grabs William from his cot before breaking down. Learning that Roxy's pregnant, Billy reveals she's in Dorset. Peggy and Ronnie are Dorset-bound in Roxy's Jeep. Peggy reaches out to Ronnie, but she gives her the silent treatment. Later, in a roadside café, Ronnie reluctantly opens up. She blames her dad for ruining her childhood. Phil enters a beauty salon in Watford asking for Suzy Branning. He's told by a member of staff that he's too late - she's left for Portugal. He returns and steps up his enquiries before getting involved in a scuffle with an intruder. Roxy's in a mansion and seemingly without a care in the world. She's listening to music as a young man enters, hands her a drink and gives her a massage. She teases him before telling him to get back to his gardening duties. Eager to show his worth as a Mitchell, Billy concocts a 'happy hour' scam for the Vic. Aunt Sal arrives and pours cold water on the idea. Later, Honey caringly reminds a disconsolate Billy that he has a loving wife and kids. Having hot-wired a car, Sean sets off in search of Roxy. It's not long before he reaches the very café that Peggy and Ronnie were at, picking up a dropped teddy bear along the way. He's catching up with them - and fast. As soon as Phil's thrown out the intruder, he's hit by the salon woman. When he comes round she explains she's Suzy. She collects Max's money then begs him to look after her. As they argue the intruder returns - mob-handed. Despite having their Jeep nicked, Peggy and Ronnie manage to hitch to the address they've been given. They're both impressed. They ring the bell expecting to see Roxy. Ronnie's shocked when her dad answers. |
