Viewers will see Jay realise Rainie has been earning extra money on the side doing house clearances for their customers and get an idea.
Jay asks Billy if he’d like to team up, explaining that they could do the clearances and then split the money.
But it soon becomes clear that Billy is still sulking about what happened between Honey and Jay over the festive season.
Later, Billy finally agrees to be part of the plan, but asks Jay about Honey again, making clear they wouldn’t be able to work together if something was going on.
Jay promises it was a mistake but, as Billy leaves, Jay spots Honey who’s overheard everything.
A mortified Jay then gives Honey mixed messages when he apologises for the hurtful things he said to Billy about their kiss, insisting he didn’t mean them.
Honey is confused when Jay goes on to say that their kiss did mean something to him.
WIll Honey trust his word?
And if she feels the same way, will they tell Billy?
Viewers know that Jay and Honey grew closer in recent weeks as he supported her in the aftermath of her date rape ordeal when her evil date Paul spiked her drink.
Fans began predicting a romance between the pair as Jay refused to leave her side.
But Billy was horrified to see his ex-wife Honey and the man he treated as his own son sharing a smooch over the festive season.
Emma Barton revealed that a “very complicated” romance between Honey and Jay would cause “quite a lot of conflict”.
The actress shared with Metro.co.uk: “It’s really interesting, Jay has been her support after all of this and she has supported him too and helped him to grow up that bit more.
“There are definite complicated feelings there and what I would say is that you can’t help who you fall for.
Speaking about how a romance between Honey and Jay would ruffle her ex Billy’s feathers, she added: “If anything did happen, it would be very complicated and cause quite a bit of drama because she, Jay and Billy have such a history together and poor Billy, he still loves Honey very much.”
She added: “It might cause a lot of conflict.”
