Bernie plots to get her job back and Nish is impressed by her initiative. He offers her the manager position, but things turn sour when he berates Bernie for accidentally playing an old voice note from Keanu. Later, Karen returns to Walford. Meanwhile, Nish plans to replace the floor at the café due to a leak. This forces the women to arrange a crisis meeting at Number 31. Denise considers that it might be better off to confess and she writes a letter to Jack. She also hallucinates Keanu as the events of Christmas continue to plague her conscience. Elsewhere, Alfie plans a holiday to celebrate the end of his cancer treatment and he invites Linda to come with him. Also today, Jack lies to Denise about sleeping on the sofa at Stacey's, while Gina isn't convinced by Eddie's sudden change in attitude.
