But when Stacey refuses to attend, tensions boil over with Lily.

At the wake, Ruby’s simmering resentment explodes into a dramatic showdown with Stacey.

Vicki will set foot in Walford for the first time in over 20 years to attend her Uncle Martin’s funeral, bringing her new boyfriend Ross and his son Joel with her.
