She's back to see stepdad Nigel (Paul Bradley), and is upset to see him so fragile and confused. Clare also finds opportunity to clash with stepmum Julie (Karen Henthorn), ahead of his move into a care home.
Elsewhere, Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) worries about Mark Fowler (Stephen Aaron-Sipple), and there's an interesting development at the Trueman household.
Here's everything happening in EastEnders between Monday 2 and Thursday 5 March.
1. Max Brannings takes matters into his own hands with Tim Walton
Elaine reckons the best thing she can do is to stay quiet - though she fails to heed this advice, and decided to tell Johnny the truth. He's furious with her for interfering, and even more so when she shows up at his office to launch a verbal attack at Tim.
Fed up of seeing her son messed about, Linda confides in Max about the ordeal - and he takes matters into his own hands and pretends to be Tim's taxi driver. She quickly alerts Johnny to what has happened, but he insists that he has bigger fish to fry and must try sort out his relationship with Callum.
What lengths has he gone to, and will this bring an end to Johnny and Callum's turmoil?
2. An emotional week for Nigel Bates as stepdaughter Clare returns
However, the pair are handed yet another big decision to make when he insists on seeing estranged stepdaughter Clare. The two haven't seen one another in years, after he disapproved of her promiscuous ways as she journeyed into adulthood.
The next day, as Clare arrives in Walford, she reunites with old pal Chelsea Fox (Zaraah Abrahams) and then makes her way to the Mitchell residence. The tension can be cut with a knife between Julie and Clare, and Phil insists that they can't bring their drama to the hospital.
Later, Clare receives some support from Lexi, who urges her to make things up with Nigel while she still can. The two decide to discharge him from hospital, something which enrages Julie, and bring him back to The Vic for a special party in his honour.
Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) and Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan) prepare the special event, with the community rallying together to give him a warm welcome.
After a beautiful evening, Phil, Julie and Clare take Nige' to his new home, with the enormity of the situation beginning to sink in.
