Susan says Sarah's in a difficult situation and Angus doesn't know much about it. Sarah knows Susan doesn't agree with her not telling Angus about her illness but she wants Angus to suffer as little as possible. Susan knows Sarah loves Angus very much and Sarah agrees she loves both her kids. Susan wants Sarah to fight to stay with them. Sarah tried but the treatment was horrendous and it made no difference. Susan knows Sarah's been through hell but it's worth the fight to have more time with her kids.

Susan says that Sarah needs to stay positive and exhaust every option. Sarah realises Susan wants her to have more chemo. Susan agrees as Sarah will have bought the most time with her kids.

Steph is really sorry and asks how they found out as Steph only told Mark. Mark told his superiors and Steph wants to know why he did it.
