Elsewhere, Linda is left stunned by the arrival of a very familiar face, as her son Johnny Carter arrives in Walford. He's adamant he needs to help her, and says he will stay to support her as he asks how things got so bad. Elaine then explains how Dean Wicks is back, and Johnny rushes to confront his mum's rapist, with Ben stepping in to stop it going too far.
Johnny won't let Linda out of his sight, but she struggles with this and secretly drinks. She ends up dropping Gina's cake, which leads to Gina laughing at her. Johnny - knowing Gina dated Dean - lashes out at her for laughing, leaving Ben and Callum concerned. Ben promises to help Johnny get rid of Dean, but promises Callum it'll be all above board.
He decides what the best thing to do is to launch a civil case against Dean until Callum tells him about the 'confession' Linda made. Johnny and Gina decide to work together to get the recording from Dean and wipe it. As Dean and Johnny argue, a glass gets smashed and Linda cuts her hand. She goes ballistic, shocking everyone, and Johnny doesn't know what to do.
