Shelley refuses to speak to Sunita. Sunita thinks she's being childish. Ashley receives a sympathy card from Matt and Charlie Ramsden. He rips it up. Toyah goes with Maria to the clinic where she has an abortion. Maria tells Kirk what's happened and he's both kind and supportive. Peter tries to talk Shelley into making up with Sunita but Shelley is adamant that Sunita is in the wrong and convinced that Ciaran will hurt her in the end. Norris asks round for lodgings. He is appalled when Les says he can share Kirk's room in No. 5 for £50 per week but he is forced to accept. Audrey agrees to do Maxine's hair for the funeral. Archie is grateful. Emma tells Ashley that the Police have finished at No. 4. She returns his house keys. Ken and Deirdre call to see Emily. Emily tells Ken what she thinks of him for standing by Aiden. She is very angry and questions Ken's morals. Ashley leaves Fred looking after Joshua and goes over to No. 4. He can't bring himself to open the door.
