EastEnders favourite Bernie Taylor (Clair Norris) returns to Walford next week.
Rainie (Tanya Franks) and Callum Highway (Tony Clay) rally together to convince Stuart Highway (Ricky Champ) to attend his hospital appointment but he has other ideas and meets with Warren, who sells him more expensive supplements.
Callum is furious and tries to get Stuart to see sense but Stuart is having none of it.
Meanwhile, Rainie pesters Karen Taylor (Lorraine Stanley) about Bernie’s whereabouts, worried she’s had the baby already.
With Rainie so stressed and upset, Callum encourages Stuart to go to the appointment for her.

At home, Stuart stands by his holistic approach but their minds turns elsewhere when a heavily pregnant Bernie arrives.

The baby boy is born and after seeing how much Rainie and Stuart care for the baby, an emotional Bernie agrees to let them have the baby.
However when alone, Rainie confesses that Stuart is refusing treatment – she can’t let Bernadette give them the baby on a lie.
Will this change Bernie’s mind or will Rainie and Stuart finally be able to become a family?
Meanwhile, Stuart meets with Warren who continues his mission in discouraging Stuart from getting medical treatment.
Vi Highway shows up after hearing about her great grandson’s birth but a stunned Stuart warns her that she may not see him.
Rainie stares at a bottle of vodka, but is shocked by Vi entering. Rainie explains Stuart’s situation, leaving Vi determined to fix things.
