With the auction for The Vic imminent, Kat receives some good news from the bank. However, after the call she had from Alfie, a disappointed Stacey informs Kat that she can’t lend her the money after all.
Stacey confides in Jean about her dilemma, and Jean jumps to the conclusion that Alfie is helping Hayley. Stacey once again reconsiders the loan offer after listening to Jean’s advice.
Later, Stacey updates Kat, as Jean, Freddie and Mo desperately try to stall proceedings at the auction. There’s also a bidding war between the Beales and a developer, throwing plenty of drama and uncertainty into the mix. 
Meanwhile, Avani seems distracted and turns to Barney for support. At the club, a test reveals that Avani is pregnant.
Elsewhere, Julie continues to clash with Phil, but gets along better with Jay as she confides in him.
Also today, Nicola steals Harry’s phone after realising that he’s working for Ravi. She tips off Jack about a dodgy deal, which leads to Ravi and Okie both being arrested.
