4. Will Denise Fox confess Chelsea Fox's crime to Jack Branning as they grow closer?
Denise arrives home early after hearing the news about Pastor Clayton, and shares a heart-to-heart with Yolande Trueman (Angela Wynter) about honesty and truth.
This triggers guilty Denise into opening up in a vague way about her lies over the club crush, and with Yolande's words about the corrosive nature of lies ringing in her ears, Denise prepares to tell Jack the truth about Chelsea causing the crush.
Will Denise admit what she knows?
Meanwhile, Jack is overwhelmed with the demands of caring for Amy and running the house single-handedly. He reluctantly agrees for eldest daughter Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) to come over for Amy's sake, and is pleased to find Amy in much better spirits.
But Jack ruins the mood with a tactless comment that upsets Penny and causes a massive row. Denise makes it her mission to fix the father and daughter's relationship, and gets them both to attend Denzel Danes's (Jaden Ladega) 16th birthday party.
Later, Jack tells Denise how grateful he is for all she has done for their family, delivering a moving speech about how amazing Denise is. Could the former couple reunite?
5. Jay Brown gets a 30th birthday message from the late Lola Pearce-Brown
It's Jay's 30th birthday, and he's showing Kat and Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) a video message from Lola when Tommy ruins the mood.
It's the latest in a stream of sweet videos recorded by Lola before her death last year from a brain tumour. Lola also filmed a special message for grandfather Billy (Perry Fenwick) and Honey Mitchell's (Emma Barton) daughter Janet (played by Grace), who turned 18 this year.
No doubt there will be more footage from Lola as her beloved daughter Lexi Pearce (Isabella Brown) grows up. In the present, though, will Jay have a worthy celebration?

Kathy suggests Kat should have a stern word with Tommy, but when Kat tries to talk to the teen, he physically intimidates her.
Later, Kat asks Tommy to stop making so much noise, and Phil is stunned to witness Tommy being viciously rude in response.
Kat again tries to speak to her son about stealing from the café, and when he tries to leave, Kat grabs him. What will happen next? EastEnders is exploring child-to-parent abuse with this storyline.
EastEnders is working with Family Based Solutions, PEGS and NSPCC on this hard-hitting storyline.
