Lola's having a bad day - after more grief from Trish she has a run-in with Phil, who taunts her about not knowing who Lexi's father is. On the way home Lola is confronted by Alexa and the girl gang. Alexa doesn't take kindly to Lola telling her to back off and when Alexa sees Abi walking past she calls her over. Alexa and the gang round on Abi, pushing her. Lola can't stand by as the gang start to get nasty and she steps in. Lola tells Abi to take Lexi home then lashes out at Alexa as a warning. Lola's horrified when the police later arrive to arrest her for assaulting Alexa! As Trish takes Lexi from her before she's taken away, an hysterical Lola shouts out to Phil that Ben is Lexi's father! Michael stares at Scarlett as he packs a case. Kat and Alfie are shocked when they find Scarlett alone in her pram in the Vic. Kat and Alfie stop Michael from leaving just in time. Kat gently tells Michael that his daughter needs him. Kat has been left an envelope with the bedsit key. She goes to the bedsit and defiantly writes on the mirror 'Kat loves Alfie' before leaving.
