Ken asks Sinead what her prognosis is and tries to be upbeat about her chances of beating the cancer. She confesses that Daniel is in the dark about the matter. DS MacKinnon inquires about Michelle's car and is told by Kevin that Abi worked on it. He confirms that in his opinion the car was roadworthy when it left the garage. Sinead tells Ken that she can't find the words to tell Daniel as the news that the baby will be terminated will break his heart. She's going to wait until her first trimester and then see if she can have mild chemotherapy, not wanting to have Daniel to have to make any difficult choices. Ryan feels sorry for himself, thinking Michelle is paying too much attention to Ali. Ken and Sinead have words, as he thinks she's being unfair on Daniel and she's asking him to keep a secret from his son. She reminds him that she lost her last baby due to his interference and says she will never forgive him if he tells Daniel. He reluctantly agrees to keep quiet.

Ken is morose at the meal and Daniel senses that something is wrong. Cathy is disappointed to hear the holiday plans are off. Jude is pleased that there seems to be a spark between him and Angie again. Daniel confronts Ken for his attitude, accusing him of thinking he’s not capable of both doing an MA and bringing up a baby.
