Dot wonders what she will do now she is unemployed again. Barbara phones Ian to tell him she is returning. Cindy does not want her at the flat because of the baby. Marge gives Dot £149.25 which was her mother's money that she used to store in their house. Arthur tells Simon he needs to talk to him. Simon thinks it is about Cindy. He is relieved when Arthur moans about the rubbish he has left in the alleyway of the Vic instead. Kathy visits Cindy and her baby. She reassures Cindy that she will not be a nagging grandmother. Simon gives Sharon flowers and tells her he has been feeling a little depressed recently. Pauline goes on a day out with Arthur. She is keen to see Cindy and the baby, but wonders at the same time why Cindy has not been to visit her before. Arthur takes a present over to Cindy and tells her to visit Pauline some time. Danny turns up to see Michelle. Julie gives Michelle a harsh truth about Danny, but Michelle ignores her. A mysterious man, Harry Osborne, walks around Albert Square. Rod asks him what he is up to. He tells him he used to live in the area. Arthur and Pauline see Danny. Danny tells Michelle he is getting divorced so can now live with her. Michelle is unsure about his proposal. Pete takes Barbara back to his flat. They wake the baby up accidentally. Cindy gets annoyed with Pete so he stands up to her, reminding her it is his flat. She cries to Barbara.
