The Mitchells are left reeling when Marsden informs them that they have arrested Phil.

The Mitchells are left reeling when Marsden informs them that they have arrested Phil on suspicion of murder, while Ian engineers a plan he hopes will keep Jane in Walford.

Convinced he’s in the right, Ben refuses DCI Marsden’s offer to relocate him. When Abi asks if Ben’s okay, he tells her he was the one that put Phil in jail. However, when Jay and Shirley return, grim faced, from the police station Ben denies his involvement. Mardsen informs the Mitchells that Phil’s been charged with murder, the family realise there must be a new witness and Shirley suspects Denise. Ben continues to protest his innocence at home and tells Marsden that the family can’t know it was him. Marsden reminds Ben Phil will soon find out. Abi reveals to Jay that Ben’s behind Phil’s arrest.  Ben returns home to find the family waiting. Shirley tells him to change his statement, but Ben’s convinced Phil going down is a good thing for the family. Jay and Shirley throw Ben out onto the street.

Max is understanding when Tanya avoids his attempts to be intimate.
