Episode 8237 (18th October 2013)

Plot
Roy and Hayley return home, having had a wonderful time in Blackpool. Whilst his family bicker among themselves, David wakes up having spent the night in the salon. Arriving for work, Maria hears about Nick and Kylie’s fling and takes his side. Michelle demands answers from Barry about why her mother is divorcing him. He admits that he made a pass at one of Helen’s friends. Michelle is not convinced it’s the full story. Hayley rings Jayne Rayner and finds out from Jeff that she has been taken into a hospice. She rushes to see her. Audrey arrives for work and tells David to leave. He begs for five minutes to talk to her and pleads his case but she sacks him and asks for the salon keys back. Eva tells Nick that Leanne has gone to stay with Toyah and she doesn’t want to talk to him. Eva also cold-shoulders Kylie, having been deceived as to what really was going on. At the hospice Roy’s shaken by the snapshot of what awaits Hayley and while Jane’s husband praises the staff there, Hayley’s shocked by Jane’s rapid deterioration and how dosed up she is on morphine. Dennis pawns Rita’s ring in at Barlow's Buys to raise money to pay his tax bill. Michelle badgers Barry until he admits that Helen found him in bed with her friend, Eva. Hayley wants to talk to Roy about what will happen when her time comes but he evades the issue. Michelle books flight tickets for herself and Barry on Monday to go to Dublin and sort matters out with Helen. David tells Tina that he’ll sleep on a mate’s floor. Hayley tells Roy that she wants to end her life how she chooses by euthanasia and not how the cancer dictates.
