The trouble is, Stacey’s appearance at the school causes a stir as a group of students have access to her Secret Cam page. And when an embarrassed Denzel and Nugget tell Amy, she reveals what’s going on to Lily, who returns home and outs Stacey in front of a horrified Slater clan.

In the wake of the showdown, a mortified Stacey finds she can’t face her family. But some wise counsel from Martin results in her heading to the parents’ committee to face down the judgemental attendees.

Ben is struggling to accept Lola’s prognosis and leaves a message for Dr Washington requesting help to ensure that she remain alive until at least September. And on Thursday, he meets with the physician to discuss a new treatment option in America. But will Kathy and Callum be able to force Ben to accept the reality of Lola’s situation?

As for Lola herself – she’s feeling particularly low as her speech has become increasingly slurred. And as the reality of her prognosis sets in, Lola refuses to see Janet and William – a decision that leaves Honey struggling with her complex emotions about the situation.

But comfort for Lola comes in the form of Reverend Mills, who pays a visit to share her religious views on death.

Freddie agrees to see an ADHD specialist

Freddie is on a mission: he wants to recruit a dream team to participate in the pub quiz at the Queen Vic. But when the residents of Walford battle it out on Tuesday, rivalry boils over between Freddie and Reiss’s teams.

Later in the week, Mr Hawthorne arrives with an ADHD referral card for Freddie, who initially refuses to listen to his old teacher. But following a frank talk with Bobby, we’ll see Freddie agree to meet with the ADHD specialist, now recognising that he does have some of the tell-tale symptoms.

Can Ravi win Chelsea back?

On Monday, Ravi tries to befriend Finlay and Felix by offering them some business advice. But his true reason for reaching out is to win back Chelsea.

Chelsea, for her part, still appears open to persuasion, and will be glimpsed the following day getting distracted when she spies Ravi drinking alone in the pub. And after she receives a pep talk from Whitney, it seems there might be a glimmer of hope for Chelsea when it comes to salvaging things.

There’s also good news where Chelsea’s relationship with Denise is concerned, with mother and daughter putting aside their differences.
