Jack's attempt to reach out to Tanya backfires, leading her to make a momentous decision at the hospital. Meanwhile, Alfie and Kat do their best to placate a downbeat Jean.

The family are bemused when Tanya puts up Christmas decorations. Yusef arranges an urgent hospital appointment for Tanya. Cora thinks Tanya’s got a drink problem. Tanya lies when Lauren asks after Siobhan. At hospital, Tanya won’t go into Dr Morrison’s office. She’s insistent she won’t have any more treatment, even when Dr Morrison explains that means she could be dead in less than a year.
Lola shows Abi her positive pregnancy test then hides it in Abi’s bag when Billy walks in. Later, Billy lectures Lola about missing school. Lola’s unrepentant, she’s not going back; she’ll get a flat and benefits because she’s pregnant - Billy’s gobsmacked. Lola insists she doesn’t know who the father is; Billy wrongly assumes it’s Tyler and confronts him.
Jack spends the morning with a solicitor, trying to force Ronnie to see him. Jack’s furious when he discovers that Abi, who’s babysitting, has let Roxy spend time with Amy. Jack later comforts Abi when she confides that her family’s falling apart. Jack visits Tanya. Defensive, Tanya rounds on Jack and then Abi. Jack tells Carol he thinks they need to contact Max - he’s with Derek.
The Vic’s full of Christmas trees, causing extra stress for Jean. Mo and Cora ask her to buy them each a scratch card while she’s in the Minute Mart. Kim persuades Jean to buy one herself. Cora and Mo are unimpressed when Jean wins £8,000. Kim uses Jean’s win to promote the Minute Mart. A Gazette photographer takes Jean’s picture.
Rose still insistent she’s moving out. Yusef can’t offer her any extra work and there’s no room at the B&B. Finding Rose in tears, Carol appeals to Dot. Rose apologises and forgives Dot, but Dot’s unmoved, Rose can collect the rest of her stuff tomorrow.
