Jay advises Peter to stop looking back and to move on with Lauren and their children.

Lauren later sets up a family picnic, where they explain Jimmy's blindness to Louie and grow closer.

But when Cindy spots Lauren hugging Zack beforehand and tells Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt) that Lauren is cheating, before accusing her in front of Peter, Lauren is forced to admit she kissed Zack.

Peter later takes over the fruit and veg stall, but refuses to speak to Lauren about her confession.

With Jimmy's gene test results set to take place, Penny Branning (Kitty Castledine) gives Lauren a pep talk.

At the hospital, they're told that Jimmy's blindness was caused by a genetic mutation that is neither inherited or caused by opioid use – Lauren didn't cause the condition.
