Plot
Tracy's incredulity turns to anger that Ray should just turn up after 26 years of next to no contact. Ken thinks Ray turning up on their proposed wedding day is a bad omen. Deirdre assures him nothing's changed. As the Barlows leave the hospital, Ray collapses in pain on the pavement.

Gail tells Angela and Tommy that Sally's affair isn't with Martin. Angela's horrified but Tommy's not bothered saying it was the right result in the end. When Angela explains to Katy that Martin never cheated on her, Katy's devastated. Katy pleads with Martin to give her another chance but Martin's unyielding reminding her she's killed their baby. Katy's grief stricken.

Furious Katy vents her grief on Tommy. She's horrified to realise he's pleased she had an abortion and that Martin doesn't want her back. Incandescent with rage, Katy picks up a wrench and delivers a mighty blow to Tommy's head. Angela arrives and cradles her dying husband.

Meanwhile, Ian's worried when Sally tells him Rosie suspects they're having an affair. He suggests Sally finds another job but Sally's adamant Rosie won't say anything.
