Arriving home, Alfie’s swept up in the Vic’s New Year celebrations. Fed up of hospital, Kat pulls out her drip, commandeers a taxi and heads home. Every time Alfie tries to get upstairs to see Tommy, something stops him. He finds Charlie slumped in a corner, drunk. After sorting out Fat Boy, Kim and the sound system, Alfie finally makes it upstairs. When Kat arrives home, she’s surprised by the quiet atmosphere in the bar. Excited, Kat bursts into the bedroom, but stops when she sees paramedics with a sombre Alfie, Charlie and Mo. Kat realises her baby’s dead. Ronnie returns to the flat holding a baby. Roxy arrives and finds Ronnie shaking and tearful. Roxy asks what’s wrong, Ronnie tells her it’s James. Roxy’s relieved to find a perfectly healthy baby in the cot and doesn’t realise it’s Tommy, not James. Ronnie’s about to tell Roxy what’s happened but Christian interrupts them, guilt ridden after kissing the piper. Roxy leaves, promising she’ll come back in the morning. Ronnie suddenly realises what she’s done, she has to give Tommy back now. On her way across the Square, Ronnie realises she’s too late when she sees an ambulance and Kat arriving home. Just then Jack gets out of a taxi – he’s finally home and is thrilled to see his wife and new son. Carol agrees Connor can stay, but when Bianca rings to say Whitney’s on the way home, she sends him away. Connor passes Whitney in the Square. She invites him home, but he claims he’s not feeling well. Whitney’s upset so Connor kisses her. Everyone’s drunk at the Vic. Kim flirts with Fat Boy, Jane falls into Masood’s lap and Jodie tells Darren he’s lovely when he nearly proposes. Ricky tries to find Whitney a new man.

When Kat and Alfie are asked if they want to see Tommy, Kat runs away. Back at the Vic, Mo sits with her. Alfie looks for Kat, when he gets back to the pub Billy and Julie are clearing up. Kat tries to get the pub ready to open. She’s not ready to say goodbye to Tommy, but Alfie gently persuades her they have to return to the hospital. When Kat sees the baby’s body she’s insistent ‘that’s not my baby’. Ronnie’s upset and feels horribly guilty. She can’t bring herself to breastfeed the baby. Jack’s besotted with the baby he thinks is his new son and heads to the shop to buy some formula. Ronnie throws away the moses basket and blankets James died in. Roxy tells Jack and Ronnie that Tommy died. Jack thinks they should go and pay their respects, Ronnie refuses. Ronnie attempts once more to breastfeed, but can’t face it. She gives the baby and a bottle to Jack – she can’t do this. Ronnie cries. Jack calls the midwives, asking if someone could visit them. Tanya decides she wants to live nearer her daughters and demands an immediate viewing of Roxy’s house. Greg’s unsure; he thought the Square had nothing but bad memories for Tanya. Tanya insists it will be different; she’ll be with him this time. Abi and Lauren are thrilled, but Vanessa’s less keen on having Tanya as a neighbour. Max thinks Tanya just can’t keep away. Everyone’s upset by the news of Tommy’s death. Syed looks after the cafe so Bianca can spend time with her kids. After accidentally pulling a phone number out of his pocket, a guilty Christian admits to Syed he kissed the piper. Syed’s hurt and angry; he left everything for Christian and today should have been his wedding anniversary.
