Dot and Jim begin to make tentative arrangements for Dot's operation and are stunned when her doctor reveals that they need to call her in immediately. Jim is finding it increasingly hard to cope with the pressure alone and, when he inadvertently finds Dot's will, he confides in Dennis. With Den gone, Chrissie is certain that her future doesn't lie in Walford, but Vicki desperately tries to persuade her to stay for the sake of the family. Sasha reveals her new boyfriend, Adi, to the astonishment of the other Ferreira boys. Meanwhile, Sam is delighted when Andy sets a date for the wedding.
