Joey continues standing up to Derek

Joey begins to manipulate Alice by claiming that their grandmother will be paying a visit this afternoon, urging her to be there. However, Alice isn't entirely convinced and her suspicions prove correct when she calls her gran, who knows nothing about any visit. Alice quickly confronts Joey over the lie, wondering whether he planned to lock her up once he got her home. She once again defends Derek by insisting that he has changed, but Joey won't listen.

Later, Derek is keen to keep Joey in Walford on a more permanent basis, so he encourages Max to give him a job and also asks Kat to recruit him for the football team. However, Joey isn't pleased by his father's interference, which causes more tension between the pair. Derek soon loses patience with Joey, claiming that he doesn't care about his son anyway now that he has Alice's acceptance. Wanting to wind up Derek further, Joey accepts a job from Michael - knowing that his father won't be happy about it…

Meanwhile, Kat decides to take over the running of the Queen Vic football team because she feels that Alfie's recruitment techniques aren't working. She soon approaches Jack, Ray and Max to sign up as members and proves to be extremely persuasive, using flirtation to get them on board and encouraging them to spread the word. Alfie later discovers that Kat's techniques have been a little too successful - they now have far too many team members signed up!

Elsewhere, Lola accuses Jay of grassing her up to the police. Jay denies doing any such thing and soon confronts Lucy, knowing that she may be responsible. Lucy confirms that she did speak to the police about Lola, but only because she didn't want the authorities to start asking questions about Ian's absence. Later, things get worse for Lola when she is charged by the police and taken in for questioning.

Also today, Kim offers to get Sasha a work experience placement with a friend who works in a hospital - but fails to correct the youngster when she assumes that the job will be in forensics.
