Worried that Lucy didn't come home the night before, Ian's relieved but a little shocked when he finds her and Lee at the restaurant in less than enough clothing for him to see fit, realising the two spent the night there.
Later he insists on having a heart-to-heart with his daughter, which leads to an argument but ends with him confessing that Lucy is the child he is most proud of.
Unfortunately for the pair, Peter overhears exactly what his father just said, leading to a tragic chain of events resulting in Lucy's final moments in Walford.
Jake angrily defends himself when Aleks pokes fun at him, insisting he's jealous that Lucy has chosen to chase her relationship with Lee rather than him.
Whitney is utterly heartbroken as Lauren fills her in on exactly what has happened with Lee and Lucy, whilst Denise finds it hard to continue hiding her true feelings, making a major decision that's been long awaited.
EastEnders continues tonight at 8pm on BBC One.
