An angered Jay throws Emma out, but Callum Highway pleads with him to give her a chance for Lexi's sake. Emma asks for another sit-down the following day, hoping that Jay will finally listen to what she has to say.

Elsewhere on the square, Ben Mitchell isn't thrilled about Emma's return either, banning Lola's mum from seeing Lexi.

Later on, Kathy Cotton advises Jay to put Lexi's feelings first. Given the girl loves her grandma, he should let her spend time with Emma. During their chat, Emma shows Jay the anguished messages Lexi has been sending her.
