But will Callum come clean about his infidelity?

 4-10 OCTOBER

As the day of Jonno’s funeral arrives, Kathy rallies the rest of the Mitchell clan to support Callum who asks Johnny to stay away from the funeral to avoid suspicion. Unaware that Kathy is watching, the pair kiss.

At the café, Kathy tells the Mitchell’s about Callum’s actions who reel to discover his deceit and collectively, Phil, Kathy, Billy, Honey, Ian and Harvey confront Callum, who hits back with some home truths.

Heading off to find Johnny, Callum reveals he’s serious about their relationship and wants him at the funeral. And it's not long before Stuart arrives, having been persuaded by Johnny.

Kathy and the rest of the Mitchells agree to keep the truth from Ben on the proviso that Callum tells Ben and Lexi himself after the funeral. He agrees, but is soon shocked when Ben turns up to the funeral unannounced.

As Ben supports him at the graveside, Johnny and Stuart work hard to keep the truth under wraps.

Back in Walford, Phil and Kathy are thrilled to see Ben who explains that he was transferred to a UK prison for turning informant on his cellmate and was granted release for the funeral, but they’re both distracted by Callum’s infidelity.

In The Vic, Johnny tries to convince Callum to remain quiet about their relationship, but Callum reasons he must tell Ben.

Later, Kathy and Julie encourage Phil to visit Ben on his way to the airport.
