Tiffany decides to take Rat under wing. Meanwhile, Evie heads off to find an addict, Craig, who owes her money and she makes some nasty threats. Evie won’t let Tiffany take Rat on the job, so Tiffany gets Bernadette to cover for her. When Bernadette sees Evie, however, she accidentally lands Tiffany in it. Evie is furious that Tiffany has gone against her.

Mitch is keen to keep Bailey out of the way and he gives her a football to keep her busy. But it turns out to be a huge mistake, as Bailey sends the ball flying through one of The Queen Vic’s windows! A touchy Mick completely overreacts and Mitch is forced to step in, claiming that Bailey is his mate’s daughter.
