The day of baby Charli's guardianship hearing arrives. Denise feels rattled when she learns that Nish was in a row with Jack and Stacey yesterday. Stacey tries to reassure her, but Denise rushes off just as both families are about to walk into the courtroom. Chelsea urges Denise to seek help from professionals after her recent troubles, while Jack joins a party at the Slater house. Amy ends up soothing Denise as she cries out in her sleep, but Jack isn't there. Meanwhile, Linda urges Alfie to tell Ian and Billy about his cancer diagnosis so that he receives more support. Alfie tells his friends the truth and they promise to be there for him. Elsewhere, Denzel lashes out when Nugget teases him over the video which shows him failing to protect Yolande. Ravi invites the boys to the Boxing Den so they can learn a different way to channel their emotions. Also today, Jean makes it clear to Dean that she's supporting Jade out of loyalty to Shirley and Shabnam rather than him.
