Plot[]
Part One: Robert hears Leanne's cries for help and calls an ambulance. He looks for a crowbar to force open the doors but doesn't find one as the builder's yard is closed. Not knowing what's happened, Peter attends the IVF consultation on his own. Sarah confronts Bethany about her lies. Bethany admits she has a boyfriend called Nathan but claims he's her age. She denies sleeping with him. Sarah forbids her from seeing him again as he got her drunk. The IVF consultant cancels the meeting as Toyah isn't there. Leanne doesn't let Toyah help her as she starts having contractions. Nick hears about Leanne from Robert and races home. The paramedics arrive but they can't get to Leanne. Toyah is told she's got to be the one to help deliver the baby.
Part Two: With Rana instructing her from the lobby, Toyah delivers a baby boy. Brian looks for a way to appease Roy. Cathy gives him tips on meeting Roy's high standards. Steve and Michelle get back from the beach and Liz informs Steve that Leanne is in labour. The fire service arrives and frees the women from the lift. Leanne thanks Toyah for helping her through the birth. Tim learns from an engineer that a rat chewed a cable at the flats, causing the power outage. Tim inspects the remains and realises it's the missing Darryl. Bethany ignores Sarah's orders and visits Nathan. He gives her a new phone. Brian cooks Roy his favourite meal - shepherd's pie - and makes sure everything is to his satisfaction. A grateful Roy rescinds his eviction. Sarah doesn't know if she believes Bethany and worries that she's pushing her away. The news spreads that Leanne has had her baby. Brian gives Cathy a bottle of wine as a thank you. Steve watches as Leanne and their son are carried into the ambulance.
