Plot[]

At the abortion clinic, Kylie ignores David's calls on her mobile. Roy sits by the counter in the cafe, criticising Mary's method of frying eggs. Mary's offended until Fiz steps in and makes Roy apologise. David borrows Audrey's car to follow Kylie to the clinic. Eva feels terrible. Aadi and Asha's party comes to a premature end due to Karl sullying the atmosphere. Dev denounces Sunita for letting sponger Karl make a mug of her. Sunita bursts into tears. Dev feels sorry for her, despite himself. David forces his way past the clinic's receptionist and into the consulting room to confront Kylie. He refuses to leave until Kylie agrees to speak to him. Dev tells Sunita that she needs to find someone worthy of her who will make her happy. Sunita's pensive. Julie informs Carla that Rob came into the factory last week and was alone in the office. Michelle realises that Rob granted himself remote access to the Underworld diary and has been keeping tabs on all their appointments. Carla's furious. Unable to tell the truth, Kylie explains to David that she feels their marriage isn't stable enough yet for a child. David begs her to come home with him to discuss it before going through with the abortion. Guilty Kylie reluctantly agrees. Carla decides to play Rob at his own game by putting a bogus meeting in the diary. With Mary's help, Roy gets back on his feet and they put their differences aside. Mary's thrilled when Roy asks her to help out again tomorrow. Nick's horrified when Audrey reveals that Kylie's pregnant. Gail and Leanne are pleased until Audrey clarifies that Kylie went for an abortion without telling David, who's gone after her. Nick panics, hoping that David hasn't managed to stop Kylie. Tyrone has a narrow squeak when Kirsty searches for paint for the skirting board. Fearing that she will find his secret phone in the empty paint tin, Tyrone manages to distract her and she remains none the wiser. David beseeches Kylie to keep the baby but she's unyielding. Sunita gets Jason to change the locks at No.7 and throws Karl and his belongings out into the street. Karl turns nasty but Dev intervenes and sends him packing. David tells Kylie that if she gets rid of the baby their marriage is over. Kylie's devastated, and feels that she's in an impossible situation.
