Tensions rise at Billy's 60th birthday party.

Honey is very frosty with Billy, who is miserable that he’s messed up yet again. It doesn’t bode well for his 60th birthday party in the Vic later that day.

Bernadette is nervous about her date with Brooke but Tiffany helps her get ready. When Bernadette arrives at Walford East she’s touched to see that Tiff and Keegan are there too for moral support. Brooke turns up and they start their date. Brooke points out to a thoughtful Bernadette that Tiff and Keegan get on well and Bernadette resolves that it’s finally time to move on from her crush on Tiff.

Also, Iqra’s suspicious that Habiba’s up to something when she sneaks out of the restaurant.
