The residents of Walford are immediately wary when the new residents at No. 27, the Millers, burst on to the Square in their battered removal van. The move is far from calm and son Mickey tries to control his unruly rabble of a family as they unpack their belongings amidst noise and chaos. Teenage twins, Darren and Demi, quickly run off to discover their new surroundings as dad Keith settles himself in his armchair and supervises the move. Mum Rosie is left to sort things out and matters are made worse with Irish Wolfhound Genghis under her feet. Before long, the kids have created mischief in the market and Rosie becomes convinced that Keith's charms have attracted the attention of the Square's ladies. Meanwhile, Martin has to cope with the morning after the night before and is feeling terrible about his actions. He is relieved to find that Spencer and Ronny have sketchy memories of their night out.
Relations between the Fowlers and the Millers are strained, to say the least, because of the previous day's incident. Derek steps in to try and make peace but finds himself manipulated by Keith and no closer to a truce. Martin spends his day ducking and diving around the market in an attempt to avoid Sarah. She eventually catches up with him and he finally tells her the truth about his marital status. Kareena returns to the Square and Mickey is gobsmacked by her sexy transformation. Spencer, meanwhile, is disappointed to find that Kelly has stayed on in Ibiza.
Kareena is initially annoyed to find that Sasha has her feet firmly under the table at the Ferreiras but the girls quickly bond and Kareena is soon confiding her innermost secret to the newcomer. Mickey is worried that his family's actions are alienating them from the Square's regulars.The last straw comes when Keith decides to confront Dennis after Mickey falls off his ladder while cleaning windows at the club. The family resolves to change the impression people have formed and they plan a big Miller barbecue for Rosie's birthday the following day. Elsewhere, Minty seeks advice on women from an unlikely source - Ian Beale - which causes him to head round to Sam's on a mission.
Rosie is thrilled when the family remember her birthday and present her with flowers and chocolates. Preparations begin in earnest for the barbecue and everyone is invited. Meanwhile, Pauline is annoyed when she discovers that the flowers at Arthur's bench have mysteriously disappeared. Most of the Square turn out for the party and Keith is particularly proud of his famous barbecue sauce, concocted specially for the event. However, the sauce proves to have more of an impact than he expected.
Sam receives a last-minute phone call from a relative who is able to come to her wedding. However, news of their arrival worries Andy, who thinks it could lead to trouble for him. Minty is dumbstruck when he goes to see Sam and she answers the door in her wedding dress. Unable to control his emotions, he makes Sam a proposal. With two men vying for her attentions, Sam is forced to make a decision. Meanwhile, Spencer becomes Ian Beale's protégé but doesn't expect his high-flying career to involve scrubbing the floor.
Sam's nerves begin to kick in and she worries that something might go wrong. Andy is worried when Sam requests full honesty from her future husband and asks if he is after her money. Andy plays yet another game of his own and suggests calling the wedding off. Alfie confronts Kat over her flirting at the bar as well as discussing some of his problems with her, which leads the couple unsure over their future. Elsewhere, Martin ponders wether to tell Sonia the truth about his infidelity. Meanwhile, a contented Zoë sleeps in Dennis's bed, as he finds himself outside Sharon's bedroom, unsure of whether he should go in and act on his feelings. After giving in an sharing a lingering kiss with Sharon, Dennis returns to Zoe, still uncertain over what he wants.
Sam wakes on the morning of her wedding and contemplates the married life ahead of her. Before she can collect her thoughts, however, Peggy arrives home in dramatic fashion and sets about organising everyone and everything. And when she meets the new residents of the Square, she invites them all to the wedding. Meanwhile, Billy persuades Minty that he should tell the formidable Peggy the truth about Andy's past. Minty races to the church - but is it too late?
Minty enters the church as Sam and Andy walk up the aisle towards him. Devastated that he has arrived too late, he manages to make a dig at Andy, who only threatens him back. As the jubilant wedding party returns to Albert Square, Peggy catches sight of Kate and the fireworks begin.The party spirals into chaos and Peggy finally gets wind of Andy's true nature. She threatens that Andy should look after her precious girl or her boys will come after him. Minty urges Peggy to call Phil.
A dejected Minty tells Billy that there is no point in him worrying about Sam any longer - she has made her choice. Billy realises that Minty has feelings for Sam and is shocked that he has gone back on his promise to protect her. Meanwhile, the Miller children, Demi and Darren, find themselves in trouble when Rosie discovers that they have been playing truant from school. And when Martin desperately tries to convince Sarah that he does not want a relationship with her, she does not seem to get the message. Elsewhere, Ronny loses his DJ gig and, in a moment of madness, makes an error of judgement. And Kat tells Alfie that she needs to give him some space and time to think. With that, she packs her bags and leaves.
Martin arranges a secret meeting with Sarah to try and end things once and for all but she mistakes their rendezvous for a date and Martin eventually loses his temper with her. Meanwhile, Ian is impressed when Jane stands up to Rosie, after the pair get into a row about the kids. But when he tells Jane he might be falling in love with her, she panics and flees.
Jane realises that she needs to clear the air with Ian but, feeling rejected, he tells her that he is happy to remain friends. Jane opens up and tells Ian that she has been hiding a secret from him that will affect the way he feels about her. Sarah keeps watch on the Fowlers' house and follows Sonia when she goes out to have her nails done. She engineers a meeting between them and Martin is shell-shocked when he comes home to find Sarah and Sonia chatting over drinks. Minty panics when he hears that Andy and Sam are expected back from honeymoon and his worries appear to be founded when he receives a visit from two of Andy's heavies.
Martin struggles to act normally when Sonia introduces him to a smug Sarah. When Sonia leaves the room, Martin urges Sarah to leave but she refuses, upset that Martin has not told Sonia about her. The tension in the room rises when Sarah confides to Sonia that she is depressed because she is waiting for her married boyfriend to get divorced. Martin is convinced that Sarah is mad and tells her so when they're left alone. Sarah, however, has an ultimatum: he can tell Sonia or she will.
Continuing her pursuit of Martin, Sarah pays Pauline and Jim a visit to find out more about Sonia. When she learns that Martin is out, she quickly pops round to see the Fowlers and thank Sonia for the help she has given her ... and to pump her for more information about Martin. When he finds out that Sarah has been round to his house, Martin is horrified and panics. Alfie reluctantly agrees to let Billy hold his Mr and Mrs quiz night at the Vic but regrets his generosity when Andy makes snide comments about Kat's absence. Meanwhile, Zoë invites Dennis to the quiz night but is quick to point out to Sharon that it's for couples only. Ian receives some bad news while he is enjoying a picnic with Jane and Kareena and Mickey come clean about their relationship.
Sharon and Zoë continue to argue and make snide comments, clearly vying for Dennis's attention. Keen to resolve the situation in a mature way, Sharon urges Dennis to talk to Zoë. However, he is sick of playing games and demands some real honesty and that Sharon be straight with him. When Martin hears that Sonia and Sarah have gone shopping together, his now constant state of panic reaches new heights. He is further unsettled when Pauline invites Sarah to stay for dinner. Garry has suspicions that there are ghosts in the house and is distressed when he returns home to find the television on and mysterious ghoulish slime all over the place. Meanwhile, Paul is shocked when he discovers what he's been delivering for Andy, and Nana Moon and Spencer are concerned about Alfie.
Not one to give up, Sarah continues to pursue Martin when she sees him in the Square, but he quickly brushes her off. When he later sees her talking to Sonia, he hastily comes up with a plan, inviting them both out to lunch in an attempt to prevent Sarah from revealing all. Garry is still on edge as objects move around the house, to the amusement of Darren and Demi, and Dot receives some long-awaited good news: the doctors are confident that she is cancer free. Elsewhere, Vicki realises why her relationship has failed and, knowing someone close to home that she thought she could trust is to blame, determines on a confrontation.
Minty is concerned when he hears Andy and Sam finalising the arrangements for joint ownership of their businesses, and calls Marcus Christie for advice. Keen to protect Sam's interests, Minty is thrown when Andy asks him to witness the signing of the documents. A sad Alfie deflects Spencer's questions about Kat but, as the day progresses, he begins to lose control of his emotions. Elsewhere, Charlie finally realises that the Miller kids are his burglars; a deluded Sarah is sure that Martin has packed Sonia off so that she can spend more time with him; and Vicki and Chrissie argue about Tommy.
Alfie is feeling rather tender after the previous night's incident in the Vic but has no option but to go to work as normal and present his usual chirpy self behind the bar. Martin can't believe the audacity of Sarah when she pushes a note through his front door. It turns out to be the start of a treasure hunt and Martin frantically rushes around the Square trying to find her trinkets before anyone else does. However, Gus and Spencer accidentally happen across some of the gifts, so a quick-thinking Martin passes it off as a game with Sonia. The hunt eventually leads Martin to Sarah, who confesses her feelings for him over a lovingly prepared picnic. Martin loses his temper which causes Sarah to make a call. Elsewhere, the residents of the Square are losing their patience with the rubbish and mess that seems to follow the Millers everywhere.
Marcus Christie confirms that Minty has power of attorney in case anything should happen to Sam. Andy is absolutely furious and, recognising that Marcus could be a powerful ally, plots to transfer his loyalty to him rather than the Mitchell family. Meanwhile, Andy has also decided that the time has come to do something about Minty's interfering nature. Chrissie is increasingly unhappy about Vicki's relationship with Tommy, despite her efforts to accept him. Together with Dennis, she decides to stake out Tommy's flat, sure that there is more to the suave lecturer than meets the eye.
Tired of putting on a cheerful front, Alfie leaves Spencer in charge and takes a well-earned break from The Vic. Desperate to let off steam, he heads to Angie's Den, where he relaxes over a few drinks - and comes face to face with temptation. Sam is shocked when she receives a call from Minty, who's in hospital. Suspicious about what's happened to him, she confronts Andy, who denies knowing anything. But, later, Andy pays Minty a visit. Dennis and Chrissie are confident that they have caught Tommy out and triumphantly head home. However, the situation is not as simple as it first seems and the tables are soon turned on them.
Sam's world crumbles further when she realises that Andy has been peddling drugs through Paul at the club. She confronts Andy, who admits his involvement, but he manipulates the situation by removing his ring and asking Sam what she really wants. Sam is left in a dilemma and turns to Minty for advice. Chrissie tries to persuade Vicki that Tommy is too old for her but Vicki stubbornly refuses to listen to reason. Alfie is enjoying himself as he flirts with a woman at Angie's Den and Kareena is surprised at the sight as she serves them both drinks.
Martin spends his day on edge, concerned that Sonia knows the truth. He desperately tries to work out where his wife is but when Sonia returns home, she's perturbed as to why Martin feels the need to check up on her. She informs a relieved Martin that Sarah has decided to leave, her affair with a married man apparently over. However, just when Martin begins to relax, events take another turn for the worse. Sharon uses Vicki's absence as a tool to make digs at Dennis, telling him he has driven her away. Dennis knows that there is more to her ill-feeling and throws himself into his relationship with Zoë. He's on the verge of reciprocating Zoë's strong feelings for him when something stops him literally in his tracks. Alfie decides that he knows just what will repair his relationship with his wife and Andy informs Paul that he owes him a favour.
Sharon and Dennis continue to bicker and it becomes apparent that Dennis is unable to handle seeing Sharon with another man. Meanwhile, Alfie warms to the idea of having a baby with Kat, thinking it's just what they both need. Pauline is less than happy with her new house guest, Sarah - as is Martin. He shouts at Sarah, telling her that she must leave, but all she wants is a declaration of love from her man.
Martin's nightmare shows no sign of ending, as Sarah seems to have charmed Pauline. He takes decisive action and goes to the police, informing them that he's being stalked. But he doesn't get the response he anticipated and, in desperation, decides the time has come to confide in his mum. However, before he gets home, Sarah and Pauline have a chat of their own. Dennis and Sharon try to sit down and have a rational conversation about their relationship but Dennis is riled by the appearance of Sharon's new man and the situation deteriorates. Elsewhere, Ronny takes kind words from Sasha as encouragement and moves in on his brother's girlfriend, and Darren and Demi cause chaos in the Square.
Convinced that Sarah is lying, Pauline is furious and orders her out of her house - and Walford. But Sarah's plans are far from over. Sasha is first shocked, then angry, that Ronny should dare to make a pass at her. Ronny argues that she led him on but, when Sasha threatens to tell Adi, he begs her not to. Elsewhere, Zoë has planned a special night out as a treat for Dennis. But her delight turns to despondency when Dennis doesn't show up.A drunk and confused Dennis, meanwhile, is seeking solace with Dot, who advises him to follow his heart. And the rest of the Square face the wrath of Rosie Miller when she discovers that one of her neighbours has reported Demi and Darren to the police.
Martin is relieved when he visits Pauline in hospital and learns that she is recovering well. He begs her not to tell Sonia about Sarah - and suddenly realises that Sarah must have been behind his mum's mysterious fall. He heads straight round to her flat - and is shocked to find it full of his belongings. Sarah desperately pleads with him to listen to her - but he has reached breaking point and lashes out. Sasha tells Ronny that she is going to tell Adi about what happened, but hesitates when Adi begins to tell her how happy she has made him. Elsewhere, Zoë has had a sleepless night, worrying about Dennis, who has still not returned. Sharon's fears are assuaged when Dot tells her that Dennis didn't want to hurt her or Zoë, but she can't resist the opportunity to stir things up and tells a heartbroken Zoë that she has spoken to Dennis.
Pauline advises Martin that the only way to save his marriage is to be honest. Martin takes this on board and waits nervously for Sonia to return home so that he can confess everything. However, the police arrive first and Martin is confused when he is arrested. Ronny still isn't getting the message and, misinterpreting Sasha's friendliness, asks her if she wants to have an affair with him. Meanwhile, Alfie is excited about the prospect of Kat's return to the Vic and spends his day tidying the flat. He fondly chats to Zoë about his turbulent relationship with Kat and tells her how much he loves his wife. Kat's return, however, is not what Alfie expected as she stumbles into the Vic clearly the worse for wear.
Alfie's romantic first evening back with his wife is ruined when Kat is first sick, and then passes out in bed. Disappointed and upset, he gets back to work behind the bar where he pastes a smile on his face as he accepts all the congratulatory gestures from the regulars on Kat's return. Zoë tries to forget her worries by heading down to Angie's Den but, instead, she gets drunk and tries to call Dennis. Meanwhile, having heard about Ronny's recent actions, Adi is absolutely livid and decks him the middle of the Vic. Sasha is furious that Adi feels the need to protect her and lashes out at both him and Ronny. Martin begins to panic at the police station when his account of Sarah's stalking falls on deaf ears. He admits to the police that he did push Sarah and they start to suspect that he's been lying. Martin tries to call Sonia but the line is dead and he worries that she could be in danger.
Sonia is pleased when she receives an unexpected visit from Sarah but is concerned by her fresh bruises and cuts. Sarah tells Sonia that she was mugged the previous evening and Sonia invites her in. However, as Sarah begins to discuss Jamie, Chloe and Sonia's past in detail, Sonia is rattled. Her suspicions are confirmed when Sarah's façade slips and she tells Sonia that Martin only married her out of guilt. As Sonia begins to panic, Martin desperately bangs on his cell door in a bid to be let out, sure that his wife is in grave danger. Martin arrives just as Sarah is lunging a knife towards Sonia, and jumps infront of her taking a stab wound to himself.
Pauline and Sonia tend to Martin in hospital as he recovers from his stabbing. Between them they manage to hold things together but Pauline breaks down when she can't get Martin's blood out of the tablecloth. Kat arrives back in the Square and Alfie tries his best to turn their relationship around. But things don't go quite as planned when Kat spends the day in bed nursing a hangover. When Billy receives a letter calling him as a witness against Graham, he decides it's time to move on and throws out all of Little Mo's things. Zoë is upset when she learns that Dennis has asked for his passport. Elsewhere, Mo is the latest resident to fall for one of Darren and Demi's scams when they trick her into believing Demi is about to give birth and manage to get money for a cab.
Kat locks herself in the bathroom when Alfie tells her that he's spoken to Dr Leroy. Later, Alfie is worried when Kat goes out and sends Zoë to go and look for her. However, he is annoyed when they both finally return home drunk. When Chrissie sees an advert for a hairdresser in SophistiKates, she immediately goes round to ask Kate for her share of the business. However, when Kate tells her that she must wait, Chrissie calls her regulars to tell them she's back. Later, Kate causes chaos while Chrissie is out at lunch. Meanwhile, Andy's henchman, Eddie, tells Paul that as Dennis is now out of the way, they can start doing business in Angie's Den but it doesn't take Sharon long to work out what's going on.
When Zoë and Kat go to the Watts' flat to collect some of Zoë's clothes, Zoë reveals that she misses Dennis. Kat quickly tells her that she thinks Dennis never stopped sleeping with Sharon. Spencer has to deal with the day from hell. Jane cals in sick and so he has to manage the cafe and the chip shop. With Ian arriving back that day, he needs to get help. Meanwhile, Mickey offers Demi cash to give him and Kareena some time alone. She sneaks out to see Darren but, when he leaves her alone, her waters break. Elsewhere, Kate inadvertently mentions Little Mo's son, Frederick, to Billy - not realising that he didn't know about him.
Demi tells Pauline that her waters have broken and asks her to go and find Rosie. But when she finds out that Rosie and Keith have gone to bingo, Demi begs Pauline not to leave. Alfie touches a nerve when he tells Kat that her behaviour is rubbing off on Zoë.The situation goes from bad to worse when Kat tells Zoë she doesn't want her around anymore – in fact, she wishes she'd never been born.
It's the day of Graham's trial and the Slaters frantically prepare for Little Mo's return. Billy asks Charlie if he thinks she will forgive him and give him a second chance, but Mo throws him out. Zoë tells Charlie that she's moving back home and, when she gets back to the Vic, she finds Kat sprawled on the sofa. Alfie thinks Zoë's been out on the tiles with Kat but she quickly puts him straight and tells him that he deserves a medal for putting up with Kat. When Alfie confronts Kat, she reveals the truth and tells him exactly what she said to Zoë, leaving Alfie stunned that she could be so cruel. Meanwhile, there's trouble in the Square when a new Slater, Stacy, makes an appearance.
Everyone is silenced by Little Mo's appearance in court and Billy discusses with Alfie how worried he is about handling the situation with her. He knows that Little Mo hasn't told her solicitor that Freddie is Graham's son and tries to talk to her, but she is confused. Billy broaches the subject of Graham being able to have custody of Freddie if he is let off the charge - something that Mo hadn't previously considered. Meanwhile, Stacey preens herself and asks Garry to sleep with her. Garry refuses, reminding her that she is only 15.
Little Mo's solicitors can't believe she kept quiet about Freddie, and Kate tells Billy that Little Mo is having a terrible time alone, drawing both of them to admit that they still love one another. Later, when Billy is called to the witness box, he gets carried away, telling the judge what he has lost. After being sent home from the court by Charlie, Kat goes to another bar, where a man eyes her up. As they discuss their failed marriages over a drink, Alfie appears and Kat forces him to admit he still loves her.

Alfie tells Kat that he no longer loves her, and with that she packs her bags and leaves Albert Square. Billy tells Little Mo that he loves her but when she offers him the baby to hold, Billy is unsure of what to do, leaving Mo in doubt about what he wants. Elsewhere, after discussing Stacey's antics with Mo, Charlie asks Garry to come home. Hoever, Garry decides it's time to leave the Slater house as he has no reason to stay.
It's Stacey's birthday and she tries to use this as an excuse for everyone to be nice to her. Feeling guilty about forgetting her birthday, Mo offers to take her out but Stacey has already made other plans with Spencer. Billy suggests having a welcome back party for Little Mo but she insists she doesn't want a big fuss. However, when Billy overhears Rosie discussing the trial, he tries to protect Little Mo by insisting that he would prefer to spend a quiet night in together.
A glowing Spencer tells Alfie and Nana about his date with Stacey; he can't wait for the next one. When he tells Alfie that Stacey thinks he is a big-shot businessman, Alfie suggests he comes clean.

Den playfully accuses Chrissie of being taken in by Tommy, so when Tommy calls her and asks to meet up, she declines.

Den takes his revenge on Tommy, leaving him bruised and cut. Vicki and Zoë plan a night out together to cheer themselves up but when Zoë receives a bunch of flowers with a card telling her to be at the tube station at 6.30pm, she assumes they must be from Dennis.

However, Dennis is shocked when Zoë takes them to their new home – it's No. 43, which is Sharon's old flat. Billy agrees to look after Freddie on his day off and finds it a challenge when he can't stop Freddie from crying. Feeling desperate, he shouts at the baby just as Little Mo walks in. After overhearing conversations, Mickey and Kareena decide to meet up and both skirt round the issues until they realise that neither of them wants children.
Sharon feels awkward when she shows Zoë around the flat she used to share with Dennis. When she later asks Dennis how long he will lie to Zoë, he quickly dismisses her and leaves.

Zoë gets up early to avoid Dennis seeing her scratched face.When Charlie notices her face and sees her being nervous around Dennis he becomes concerned. When he talks to Mo about it, she storms over to Dennis, accusing him of hitting Zoë. Dennis is confused as he found blood on the floor but he quickly assumes that it was Stacey and marches over to the café to confront her, leaving Zoë to confess what happened. When Charlie is invited to a posh cabbies' dinner, Mo tries to get herself invited but Charlie is undecided, finally asking Pat to accompany him. She is delighted, but he cannot bring himself to tell Mo. Little Mo is excited when Alfie asks her to work as she enjoys spending time with him. But Billy becomes envious of him when he sees Alfie having no problems with Freddie.
Sparks fly when Sharon, Dennis and Zoë are left alone in Angie's Den and Zoë asks Dennis to tell Sharon that he doesn't love her.

Later, in the club, Dennis tells Sharon that he would be happy with Zoë if it wasn't for her and wishes that she could find someone to be happy with, but Sharon tells him that maybe it's him she wants. Sharon yells at Dennis to tell her he doesn't love her, and he grabs her and kisses her. Sharon asks him again to say he doesn't love her and he storms off.
