suspicious behavior raises eyebrows, adding another layer of drama to the unfolding events.
Elsewhere, tensions rise between Jean Slater and Ruby Allen as they clash over funeral arrangements for the late Martin Fowler. In the midst of all this, young Lexi is left devastated when she asks Billy and Honey whether Phil has passed away.
