Billy is annoyed with Julie for not letting him see Janet. Meanwhile, Michael goes to see Ricky to give him a "heads-up".

Billy runs into Uncle Norman and they have a little chat near the market stalls. Norman tries to offer Billy some advice on his current situation with Julie, but Billy isn't interested. All he wants is to see Janet, his daughter, but Julie is making it difficult for him. Billy is frustrated and upset, feeling like he's being shut out of his daughter's life.

At the Vic, the regulars are discussing Billy's predicament. Shirley gives her two cents and tells Billy that he needs to fight for his rights as a father. Billy takes this to heart and decides that he will do whatever it takes to see his daughter, even if it means going against Julie's wishes.

Meanwhile, Michael bumps into Ricky near Bridge Street. Michael sees this as an opportunity to give Ricky a "heads-up" about something, something that could potentially affect his family. Ricky is curious, but Michael remains tight-lipped, insisting that he needs to think about it more before sharing the information.

Back on Albert Square, Billy confronts Julie at their flat, demanding to see Janet. Julie stands her ground, telling Billy that he needs to prove himself as a responsible and committed father before she will consider allowing him back into their daughter's life. Billy is hurt by Julie's words, feeling like she's doubting his ability to be a good father.

Over at the Masoods', Zainab is worried about Syed and his marriage to Amira. She confides in Yusef about her concerns, her doubts about Amira's intentions.
