At the Ramsays:
Mrs Mangel calls round bright and early and comments on how chirpy Charlene is, considering the trouble with the Robinson boy... Protective Uncle Tom asks whether she expects her to wear a sign round her neck? Mrs Mangel barks back that it's hardly Charlene's fault, Scott obviously takes after his father. Haven't they heard about the fight between Paul and Jim? Madge pretends she isn't interested in gossip but Tom has no such qualms and asks what she's on about. She tells them both about Zoe being pregnant and Tom thinks it's a hoot whilst Madge is shocked.
At school:
Sue Parker talks to her mate about how Nikki and Mike still aren't speaking. She walks over and taunts Nikki by asking if she's heard any more from her superstar boyfriend. Charlene and Scott stick up for Nikki but she walks off in a huff. Mike starts to follow her but the bell goes, and Sue has no trouble convincing him that Nikki wants nothing more to do with him.
At the coffee shop:
Daphne is frosty with Paul despite his best attempts to charm her. He wants them to put the past behind them. She says she's too worried about Zoe to argue with him. He tells her she's staying at his mates place but he'll tell her to go and see Daphne for morning tea as soon as she's feeling better.
At Zoe's new flat:
Zoe drinks orange juice then collapses holding her stomach. Should have checked the sell by date....
At Paul's office:
Debra asks Paul where their secretary is. She comments that she must be very special if she's allowed to come in late like this. Paul says no, just very efficient. Debra wonders if she will be as efficient and Paul tells her it's not a competition. She smirks back that she always competes.
At Clive's:
Mrs Mangel calls round to visit, moaning about all her medical complaints. Clive thinks she should see a doctor but she thinks she can't afford it. She hints that it's much better to have a doctor nearby (and cheaper?). Clive smiles that he's no longer practicing but she continues to push. Deciding to track a different tack, Clive sits very close to her on the settee and agrees to help - why doesn't she pop into the bedroom and take her clothes off so he can examine her? Mrs Mangel jumps a mile in indignation and rushes out of the house screeching that it's no wonder he's no longer practicing!
At the Ramsays:
Tom comes home to Madge and a list of jobs. He moans but things are about to get even worse - Mrs Mangel is here with her tales of what Clive has just done. Tom laughs that it serves her right for trying to get a freebie. They continue to bicker as Madge lets Mrs York in. She wants Tom to have a look at her gulley trap and couldn't phone because her phone's out of order. When she enquires how much it will cost he tells her he won't charge for such a small job and she goes away happy. Mrs Mangel on the other hand thinks he should have charged like a wounded bull...Mrs York can easily afford it.
At the coffee shop:
Paul asks Daphne if she's seen Zoe but she hasn't. He's worried that they're giving Debra a bad impression on her first day. Daphne thinks he should ring Zoe if he's that bothered, but he can't because the flat doesn't have a phone....
At the flat:
Zoe is lying unconscious on the floor.
At school:
Scott asks if anyone has seen Nikki. Charlene thinks Mike should go and find her but he won't. Sue asks Mike if he's going to the school dance next week and Charlene quickly answers that he is, with Nikki. Scott tells her Nikki can stand up for herself and they start to argue, leaving Mike free for Sue to sit next to. Nikki comes out, being followed by "Robert" who isn't happy to be turned down when he asks her out. He tells her she's second hand now anyway and Nikki looks forlorn.
At Zoe's flat:
Paul knocks on the door and gets no answer. He lets himself in and panics when he sees her on the floor.
At the coffee shop:
Clive is pleased at his new reputation as a sex maniac. The phone rings and Paul tells Daphne he's at the hospital with Zoe. She's got an ectopic pregnancy. Daphne says she'll come in straight away. Daphne asks Clive what an ectopic pregnancy is and he explains how serious it is. She asks him to mind the shop and rushes off.
At the office:
Debra is trying to break into a filing cabinet when Daphne barges in with the news that Paul won't be back for a while. Debra is flabbergasted at how unorganised things are around the place and Daphne angrily tells her that Zoe has just lost her baby. This makes things worse when Debra comments that no-one gets pregnant these days that has any sense. Daphne storms out.
At the coffee shop:
Clive greets Mrs Mangel as the woman of his dreams and she huffs that she should report him. He jokes that it must be the full moon affecting his condition. Mrs Mangel asks where Daphne is, then asks if she's visiting her "friend" Zoe. She takes a seat as Mrs York comes in for the stale food Daphne promised the stray animals. Mrs Mangel comments that they can't be selling very much if they have to give food away. She finds it very odd that a rich woman like Mrs York has to get left overs for her animals.
At the hospital:
Paul reflects that hospitals remind him of the time when his mother died. Daphne assures him he can go, she'll be fine waiting on her own, but he won't hear of it. A doctor comes out and tells them they can see Zoe, in the absence of her family. She explains to them that Zoe's chances of having another child are now considerably reduced, and can they let Zoe know? Nice doctor!
Inside:
Zoe asks if they've spoken to the doctor and how the baby is? Daphne tells her the baby isn't alive and she cries but says there'll be others. Daphne holds her hand.
At the coffee shop:
Mike tells Nikki he wants to talk to her and pulls her to one side. Scott and Charlene tactfully follow and watch as he asks what happened with Grant Kenny. Nikki insists it was nothing and Charlene agrees. Scott tells her to shut up. Nikki explains what happened and promises she didn't mean to hurt Mike. Sue comes over and comments "isn't this a cosy little party?". Robert comes over to join in too and Mike tells him to rack off. He won't, and pushes Mike who drags him outside by his neck.
