This article contains brief mentions of sexual assault that some readers may find distressing.
Youngsters Raymond Fox (Michael Jose Pomares Calixte), and Bert (Elliot Briffett) and Ernie Moon (Cody Briffett) ended up in hospital after drinking some punch, and the police were called.
Phil commented on the irony of Linda running The Queen Vic as a recovering alcoholic, while he oversaw Nigel Bates's (Paul Bradley) mental health so soon after his own battle with depression.
While the police arrived at the hospital to speak to Raymond's mum Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and the twins' mum Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace), Linda apologised to Kim Fox (Tameka Empson) and pleaded for her livelihood to be kept intact.
Alone with son Johnny (Charlie Suff), Linda reflected on happy memories at The Vic with husband Mick (Danny Dyer), who is presumed dead after disappearing under water.
Linda told Johnny she could no longer imagine Mick standing beside her behind the bar – now, she only saw pain.
But Elaine was furious, declaring that this would happen "over my dead body".
Next week, Elaine tries to change Linda's mind, but when Elaine collapses, where does this leave the family?
