Whitney tells Tony she wants to leave tomorrow. Whitney grows increasingly irritated by Bianca’s behaviour. Whitney’s passport is found by the market sweepers. On stage for the play, Whitney catches sight of her family. She freezes and runs off. She sits staring at her passport: what is she about to give up? Libby encourages her to go back on. Whitney’s performance is a success. Whitney goes to see Tony. He is dismayed when she tells him she has her passport back and now nothing will stop them leaving on Monday.

Jack hounds Roxy about getting the paternity test done. She tells him that even if he is the father, he will have nothing to do with Amy. Jack threatens to tell Sean and Ronnie unless she cooperates. Roxy seeks out Christian for help in getting a paternity test.

Suzy’s panicked when she can’t find Prince. She gets a postcard which shocks her. She realises it’s from Ahmet, whom she meets. He demands she return his gold. He’s taken Prince as ransom. She tells Ahmet that if he threatens her, then he’ll be dealing with Phil too.

Max struggles to cope at home. When he hears that Tanya has dumped Jack and Lauren’s now staying with the Beales, he asks Abi to persuade Lauren to come home. Abi’s efforts to talk to her sister backfire and Lauren blows up at both Abi and Max. Tony witnesses this and seizes upon the opportunity to console Lauren. He gives her a necklace.

Ian’s scrooge-like attitude toward Christmas continues. Irritated by the kids making demands over gifts, he decides to cancel Christmas altogether.
