Episode 7252 (15th January 2010)

Plot
Sally's in hospital preparing for her operation and attempts to paint on a brave face. However, Sally soon tells Kevin that she's terrified at the prospect of a mastectomy and questions what Kevin will think of her if she's forced to undergo the procedure. Feeling guilty, an emotional Kevin insists that she'll always be beautiful to him and apologises for not being there for her when she was going through the ordeal alone.

Back at the factory, the girls are feeling awful for the things they've been saying about Sally and decide to start a collection. Kelly refuses to be a hypocrite, though, and shocks the others by her attitude.

Meanwhile, Anna's finally persuaded Gary to have a farewell party before he leaves for basic training and is emotional as she begins to arrange everything. Eddie, however, is dealing with his worries in his own way - by writing a letter to his son.

Dev's still on a high following the twins' birthday party and he's pleased when Sunita finally calls. But his pleasure soon turns to concern when she informs him that Asha is ill. He races to the house, where Sunita admits that she fears their daughter has meningitis. With that, they immediately call the doctor. Despite the situation, Dev can't help but feel pleased that Sunita called him to the house instead of Matt.

Elsewhere, Kevin's shocked when Tyrone reveals that he's turned his new job down so that he can help out now that Sally is ill.
