Ben is faced with an impossible decision that could jeopardise his personal relationships with his nearest and dearest - no-one is safe. 

Kat hatches a plan to protect her family but it goes horribly wrong for everyone at 31 Albert Square. 

Martin takes a huge risk that threatens his future.

Kat tries to charm Kheerat in the hope of keeping her home - and while he agrees, he increases their rent at the same time, which does not go down well with Jean and Big Mo.
