Max is talking to Tanya - who has (as all mothers do) absconded with JUST one of her children... and to prove just how much of a catch she is, as soon as he is off the phone Sharon (despite Jacknocchio's protests) tells Scotch Egg to sling 'is 'ook. Wasn't Sharon supposed to be in the B&B because she was in a mood? Anyway, Max gives the mandatory lie about having a place to stay.
He and Dot are having a chat in the cafffffffffff, where she expresses concern about the chain smoking, misanthropic Cora being in charge of the Lauren and Abi. Max doesn't seem particularly concerned though. Dot being the do-gooder she is, has a word with Sharon and points out that Max was lying (something a child could have discerned) and has nowhere to go.
Geordie Racer has gotten a huge bunch of flowers from Rasheed... so, he must be invited to dinner for maximum hijinks. Also, Zainab has remembered her infant son but hasn't come clean about not getting the job. Fortuitously, this isn't going to be dragged out as she points out the regional manager to Masood in the next scene. No need to worry though, despite this job being super special important - she's now going to focus on helping Geordie Racer.
Geordie Racer is apparently still struggling to just tell the truth as regards her indifference to her suitor. She tells Zainab she'd rather go to university than marry Rasheed but Zainab takes the opportunity to put down Tamwar and assures Geordie Racer that getting married is a great idea, all but saying that she'd better get married while she has the looks. This causes her to have a bit of a cry later, Masood is on hand for sympathy but Geordie Racer just says that Zainab doesn't love him and she knows he has feelings for her.
Kat materialises at Bianca's house and seems about as upset about Bianca getting them fired as you would when someone gets you the wrong kind of sandwich... oh and AJ has now set his sights on her... Set your sights low and you'll seldom be disappointed.
The powerful alliance of Kat and Bianca rumbles on though, as they comment on the state of the market and decide to change their cleaning "business" into a market stall... because that's the kind of thing people living on the poverty line can do easily. The business world today is well known for a total lack of starting costs and being utterly bereft of excessive bureaucracy and such... so we can expect Bianca and Kat's stall to be open in but the blink of an eye.
Bianca even goes on to say as much but Kat just says she'll sell some jewellery but this is a front as she pauses outside the pawn shop with her wedding ring in hand - just waiting for Alfie to turn up and do his usual saint routine. Which extends to letting Bianca selling her stuff in the Vic... ah, if there were some means of selling things in some kind of futuristic electronic way but that's just crazy talk.
AJ is clearly desperate as he effectively buys a date with Bianca, meanwhile Saint Alfie hands Kat a big wodge of notes straight from the till. That's a good way to run a business. AJ turns up just as Kat and Bianca are crowing about their success and what does he get? A face full of door. Stay classy, ladies.
Half-Day Alice has appeared and guess what? SHE HAS THE DAY OFF! It's as if the Crayon Crew know! Apparently it's her boss. Speculation that she's going to get a team leader role... which by the laws of soapland means she'll be getting a P45. Ohoh, what's that? SHE LOST HER JOB?! WHAT A SHOCK! Who could have seen that coming. This is Eastenders though, so even though everyone carps on about times being tough, she's unemployed for less than five minutes before she's offered a job without even ASKING (by Count Moonula, who wants a baby sitter).
Twitney, having reappeared from whichever sofa she got stuck down the back of (a rather sunny one by the looks of it) looks at Joey and Lauren kissing with undisguised disgust... Joey takes exception to this and tells her to keep quiet, lest he tell Tyler about their kiss... the kiss that happened weeks ago. Also, who would get worried about ONE kiss, it's not exactly infidelity.Oh and now she's super worried about this one fleeting and minor indiscretion ruining her relationship with Tyler.
So, the perfect time for Twitney to come clean about this is when Tyler is getting all serious about them getting their own place together. It's pretty hard to tell if he's upset or trying to work out the square root of 73 though - about 8.54. Apparently he is upset. Seeing Joey leads inevitably to a scuffle and Tyler breaks up with Twitney (a moniker as appropriate as ever), telling her she should have kept quiet... there's a good moral for Eastenders to supply!
