Plot
Angela and Tommy try to comfort distraught Katy.

Martin warns Sally that Tommy and Angela think they're having an affair. Sally's worried wondering what's made them think that. Feeling depressed and wrongly accused, Martin chucks the engagement ring he'd bought for Katy in the bin. Katy tells Angela and Tommy she wants an abortion.

Meanwhile, Scooter gives Sarah some perfume as a present. Sarah thinks he found it at the tip. Scooter's very offended and although Sarah apologises he leaves feeling hurt. He calls round later and shows Sarah the receipt for the perfume proving he bought it. Sarah pleads forgiveness but Scooter storms off.

Norris shows Claire his train set and they agree they both share a love of public transport. Claire's been for an eye test and shows off her new specs to Ashley and Fred.
