Plot
After a sleepless night, Sarah asks the nurse not to tell any of her visitors about her pregnancy. Audrey, Gail and Bethany discuss Sarah’s accident and how she was rowing with David before she tripped. Kylie’s suspicious. Johnny tells Kate he enjoyed his night at the industry dinner. Sally overhears the two of them arranging to have lunch at the bistro. Telling Craig that her dad is away, Caitlin suggests he comes round. Nervously, Craig agrees. Carla and Nick agree to start telling everyone their news, though Nick confesses that he’s not looking forward to Gail finding out. Sophie praises Michael for his Good Samaritan nomination and he squirms with embarrassment. Kylie walks into Sarah’s hospital room and overhears David apologising to his sister. She’s suspicious as to what he’s got to be sorry about. Tim brings Sarah a peace offering and is told he’s already forgiven. Sally invites Sophie to lunch at the bistro. Johnny appears in the paper, pictured at the do. Carla tells him and Aidan about her engagement. They’re pleased for her. Billy tells Gail he’s been worried about Sarah, making her mother concerned that he means she's suicidal. At the bistro, Sally tries to match-make between Sophie and Kate, getting them to agree to go out as part of a group with Sean and Billy. Sarah assures Gail she wasn’t trying to take her own life and was run over by accident. Nick congratulates Michael on his nomination and tells him the awards ceremony will be taking place in the bistro. He feels even worse. Craig confides in Faye that he’s worried about having sex with Caitlin. Nick and Carla call at No.8 and tell Bethany and Gail their news. Bethany is enthusiastic whereas Gail is quietly caustic. Michael starts to get annoyed at all the praise coming his way. Johnny gives Nick a quiet warning not to let Carla down. Carla confides in Michelle her worries about Gail’s reaction and the possibility of Nick changing his mind. The sonographer shows Sarah her baby for the first time and the enormity of her situation hits home. Gail tells David about Billy’s comments.
