Janine, though, is seething because she’s discovered that Mick intends to visit Linda if she goes to prison, and so gives a reluctant Jada money and blackmails her into bringing Linda down.

In the end, Linda avoids a custodial sentence and returns to the Vic to celebrate at the local carnival party. But when Zack arrives on the scene with some alarming news, Jada is left worrying that events are spiralling out of control. Janine, however, merely brushes off her concerns and continues to turn the screw…

Kheerat and Jean help each other

After a chat with Stacey, Kheerat begins to rethink his feud with Suki, but is subsequently left rattled when he learns that Ravi and Nugget are moving in with his mum. And those feelings of animosity only grow further when Kheerat is later taunted by Ravi about the situation.

In order to channel his energies, Kheerat then decides to call in a favour from Vinny and sets about decorating Jean’s bedroom as a favour to Stacey. However, things don’t go as planned when a paint fight breaks out between the kids, Eve, Kheerat and Jean.

But the experience also leads to Kheerat and Jean encouraging each other to face their fears: she with her reluctance to go outside, and he with the issue of his mum. And by Thursday, Kheerat is also confiding in Stacey about his issues with Ravi – something which she sees her herself when the Walford newcomer tries to charm her…

Phil tries to outwit Keeble

As Phil talks reluctantly talks to Keeble on the phone, he’s almost caught in the act by Ravi. And it’s this near miss that results in him resolving to do something about this situation: hence him getting in touch with his contact Dodge and asking him to dig for dirt on the Detective Inspector.

The following day, Dodge comes up with the goods before being told by Phil to get out of the country. And when Phil comes face to face with Keeble, she’s taken aback when he tries to get the upper hand. But events take a further twist when she hands Phil a photo of someone and demands information on the person pictured, otherwise Phil will be back in prison.

Will Dana leave for university?

There’s a surprise party planned for Dana, who’s about to head off to university. But she’s oblivious and is instead fretting about her dad Harvey, who’s avoiding seeing Jean and seeking solace in the bottle.

Thursday’s drama then finds Dana voicing her concerns to Bobby and wondering whether she should defer her place. And despite Bobby’s reassurances, Dana ends up following Harvey into Peggy’s, where she reveals that, due to her concerns, she’s not going to uni.

But just as she’s in the middle of explaining the situation, everyone jumps out to surprise her. Just how will Dana react?
