Ricky is determined to return to Dubai and Pat is shocked when she finds that he has a ticket for a flight that's leaving today. Keen for Ricky not to leave, Pat offers to speak to Norman and ask him not to contest the will if that makes any difference. However, Ricky makes it clear that he isn't interested in the money and will be returning to Dubai either way. Later, Pat tracks Norman down at the hospital, where he's being treated for standing on a garden rake. Norman confesses that he's always been unlucky and has been widowed five times.

Later, Pat calls Janine and urges her to see Ricky right if she does her part by convincing Norman to change his mind. Soon afterwards, Norman decides not to contest the will - explaining that Frank lent him money years ago, so he feels he should return the favour by helping the family out. However, when Pat shares the news with Janine, the schemer insists that Pat should beg her to give Ricky the money. As Pat complies with the request, Ricky walks in and realises what's happening. He insists once again that he doesn't want any money and says an emotional goodbye to his family.

Meanwhile, Greg confides in Ian over his current personal situation, explaining that he and Tanya are trying for a baby but haven't had any luck. Later, back at home, Greg quickly closes his laptop when Tanya and Rainie enter the room. Rainie nosily does some detective work by opening the laptop and leaves Tanya stunned by telling her that Greg has been looking up IVF treatment.

Elsewhere, Fatboy spends a night on Dot's sofa as he feels he can't live with Grace anymore as the memories of Mercy are too much to bear; Ian sparks gossip by grinning and waving at Denise on the Square; and Abi tells Jay that she's finally ready and they make plans to sleep together the next night
