Episode 8698 (31st July 2015)

Plot
Gary wants to know what the joke is. Sinead claims the testing kit is hers but says it was negative before Beth gets too excited at the prospect of being an aunt. Alya feels terrible. Cathy is upset that all her things have gone. Tyrone shows her how they’ve boxed up all her junk in the garage and labelled it so she can decide what to dump and what to keep. Gail tries to give Sarah some advice on motherhood but it falls on deaf ears. Michael questions Eileen about keeping the bracelet but she's unrepentant. Anna and Gary join the Nazirs in the bistro to discuss the wedding. Cathy pretends she's happier about the clear-out and thanks the three for their help. She tells Roy that her husband's death turned her into a person she doesn't recognise. Kylie arrives home with Max and Lily and explains to Gail that David is spending a few days alone with his Dad as Max’s continual references to Callum were getting him down. Sarah feels guilty. Tony looks for Liz. Michael is still unhappy about Eileen's actions. Bethany agrees to go for something to eat with her mum. The stress of the wedding planning becomes too much for Alya and she heads out for some air. Clearly in a state, Cathy arrives at the café and admits to Roy that she’s scared that the longer she stays in the house, the worse she’ll become. Sympathetic, Roy offers to let her stay in the flat. Sinead finds Alya in tears on the street. Alya breaks down and swearing Sinead to secrecy, confesses how she had sex with Jason. Roy tells Cathy he has every confidence in her overcoming her obsession. Alya swears Sinead to secrecy. Gary catches up with her. Alya tells him how much she loves him but she's still wracked with guilt.
