Lola has started having nightmares about not having Lexi... just the other day she was having a panic attack about having her back. People don't half run hot and cold in Walford!
Lauren was drunk again, sick and everything - which begs the question how is she paying for all this boozing? Her mother is clearly not best pleased with it - although, she'll probably be ignoring it again soon enough - and as Lauren hasn't started her job yet, it seems likely that she's being funded by the bank of mum and dad...
Kirstie still isn't preggers, which causes her to snap at Poxy (who is going on about her attempts to get a bun in the oven).
Lola's big day in court and everyone is giving her the generic pep talk. King Phil then drops the bombshell that Sharon won't be coming... you'd think that would cause Lola to jump for joy but not, she simply gets more agitated but if there's an event that doesn't exacerbate the agitation of people in Eastenders (although, most especially the womenfolk).
Masood is invited around for tea with Carol en familie. Goodness.
The machinations of Moonula come to fruition as Half-Day Alice delivers him his daughter in the park for a secret visit.
Jack (yes, he's still back - sigh) and Tanya decide to have a chat to Lauren. Instead of addressing her alcohol abuse, a couple of sentences from them about being worried about her and all she has to do is assure them she's going to get back to her college work (whatever it might be)... and they're back to not being worried!
At the court, mere moments after King Phil has decreed Sharon won't be coming, everyone's least favourite human comes clippity clop, clippity clop into the court house. Lola's immediate reaction is to look as if a knife wielding maniac covered in blood has just entered the room... which is what a normal person would do if they saw Sharon coming their way, so well done to her for that but Sharon is looking very pleased with herself for some reason.
Max finds Kirstie at home and is surprised she's not at work - funny, shouldn't you be at work too? Then it turns out that someone is getting out of prison and Kirstie is scared!
King Phil exposes Sharon's drug use and showing what a guileless creature she is, Lola admits to knowing of Sharon's problem. Oops. This is obviously a prime time for King Phil to kick off at not just Sharon but Lola AND Billy Idiot too - great timing, just great. Then he storms off.
It turns out Kirstie's ex-Carl (or maybe Karl?) is TEN TIMES WORSE THAN DEREK! And he's going to track her down like a blood hound!
Billy Idiot stands in front of King Phil's car, having stopped being an invertebrate for a brief period of time. He goes on to give the usual heart warming speech about how he loves Lola and how Lexi won't make up for Phil's mistakes but proceedings still get under way without him.
Michael has in fact, taken liberties with Half-Day Alice's generosity.
Phil returns to the court and after a long dramatic pause, says Lola would be a great mother.
Masood has to bail on his date with Misery Guts Carol because Christian and Syed are sick... weren't they off traveling the globe?
Lola is happy to have Lexi back. Aww.
Tanya realises that Lauren was just doodling in her notebook and sighs. What's that supposed to mean?!
King Phil sits alone in his house. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
The episode ends on the shocking cliffhanger of Lola putting Lexi to bed.
