Episode 8787 (4th December 2015)

Plot
David fumes at Kylie for thinking he would try and kill his own sister. Michelle reckons Carla’s worrying over nothing, telling her that Nick is as steady as a rock. She suggests that they should set a date. Gail tells Billy that he has nothing to worry about where Sarah is concerned. Michael confesses to Gail that the reason he’s helping Dee is that he burgled her house and can’t possibly accept a Good Samaritan award as he feels such a fraud. Gail tells him to tell Eileen the truth. As Sophie, Kate, Sean and Billy head out for a night on the town, Sally is pleased that the girls are getting on so well. Gail is coldly polite to Carla in the bistro. Adamant he’s not ready for sex, Craig cancels his date with Caitlin, texting her that he’s sick. In front of both families in the bistro, Nick produces an engagement ring and getting down on one knee, places it on Carla’s finger. Gail watches on, disapproving, while Johnny is pleased. Arriving home drunk, Michael throws his invite in the bin, announcing to a baffled Eileen that he won’t be accepting the award. Audrey tells Gail some home truths and tells her to be happy for Nick. David makes it clear to Kylie that she’s hurt him and leaves her to go to the engagement party. Sarah stares at the scan photo of her baby, telling the nurse that it’s too late to tell the father the news. Gail apologises to Carla and welcomes her to the family but confesses to Audrey that she didn’t mean it. Caitlin calls at No.5 and is upset to realise Craig lied to her. She storms out and Craig runs after her. He admits he’s not ready to take their relationship to the next level and she agrees that she’s not either, realing that he misconstrued her intentions. Kylie realises she’s gone too far and apologises to David for doubting him but he’s not willing to forgive her. Bethany tells Sarah about Nick’s news, thinking it will help them forget Callum. Sally is pleased when the girls arrive back happy. Tim warns her that Kate has a fiancé. Eileen retrieves the invite from the bin. Nick tells Carla to trust him and that nothing can go wrong.
