Episode 5182 (26th December 2001)

Plot
Terry is back in Brentworth Prison. Jack's "heart attack" was a false alarm - it was indigestion. Vera is proud of Terry putting his dad's health before his own freedom. Dev is highly embarrassed in Deirdre's presence. Deirdre is like a giggly schoolgirl. Toyah is really worried about Les as nobody's seen him all day. She and Sam go round to the house and find him in a drunken stupor. Toyah is upset. Janice spots a lovely handbag in the cupboard and assumes it's a present for her. Dennis has to pretend that it is but feels guilty as he actually bought it for Eileen when they were in Paris. Maxine suddenly finds that she's no longer a vegetarian. She has huge cravings for meat. Fred has a surprise present for Maxine and Ashley - it's a framed family tree of the Elliotts. Geena apologises to Dev and they make up although Dev is wracked with guilt. Luke Ashton finishes with Sarah. Todd apologises. Curly runs Vera to the Prison to visit Terry. Whilst he's out Emma's contractions start, three weeks early. Norris comes to Emma's rescue and Curly arrives back just in time. Curly and Norris deliver the baby - it's a little boy.
