Outside the coffee shop:
Mike is punching Robert's lights out. Des wonders if he should break things up but Clive warns him not to, Mike has to work this out on his own. Mike wins easily and forces Robert to apologise to Nikki.

At the hospital:
Paul is holding Zoe's hand and she thanks him for all his support. He tells her he cares about her a lot. Daphne comes in with flowers and breaks up the cosy scene, Paul scuttling off to work. Zoe cries about not being able to have any more children and makes Daphne cry too.

At the coffee shop:
Clive tells Des that Daphne's at the hospital with Zoe, who's lost her baby. Des agrees to mind the shop while Clive checks on Mike. He goes over to chat to Nikky who's blaming herself for Mike's fight. He convinces her that she should now stay and fight for Mike.

On a street:
Helen is walking with Mrs York and warns her that the kids will be calling round later, collecting for the school. Mrs York says she'd be delighted to help them, then collapses against a letter box.

At the coffee shop:
Nikki and Mike chat about what's been going on between them lately, Nikki saying she'll understand if he doesn't want anything more to do with her. Fortunately for her he wants lots more to do with her and moves in for a kiss, to be interrupted by Charlene chasing them off to school. Des stares after them, wishing he could re-capture young love. Clive tells him he should go after Daphne himself, swimming with sharks, leaping tall buildings and numerous other cliches. Do it Des!

At the Robinsons:
Helen is worrying about Mrs York. Paul comes in and breaks the news to Jim about Zoe and the baby. Jim gets up to go to the hospital but Paul stops him, telling him he should ignore what's happened - for Zoe's sake. Jim is gutted and asks Helen if he isn't supposed to have feelings too? She pats his arm.

At the office:
Debra asks about Zoe then suggests that they find someone else. Paul refuses. She questions whether he's sure he's only interested in Zoe for business reasons? He denies it, and agrees to go out for dinner with her.

At the hospital:
Daphne and Zoe, surrounded by a mountain of tissues, talk about being friends and being there when needed. Jim walks in and the mood quickly changes. He awkwardly gives Zoe some flowers he's brought and says how sorry he is. Daphne leaves them to talk. Zoe tells him she probably can't have any more children and he feels useless that he can't help, but she tells him she can if he stops letting her know how much he still needs her - they don't have a happy future together. He agrees, but says he'll always care about her.

At Mrs York's:
Mike bangs on the door but no-one's answering. As he walks away we see Mrs York peep through her blinds.

At the coffee shop:
Des asks Daphne if he can talk to her privately, but she's busy. She agrees to talk to him after work and goes off to the kitchen. Clive tells Des he can't give up but Des is getting sick of Daphne pushing her luck.

On another street:
Scott and Charlene are gloating about collecting six dollars more than Mike and Nikki. Eagle eyed Nikki spots Mrs York and they race off to try and raise their total. Mrs York asks them to come back tomorrow, she'll have to go to the back. Mike pushes and asks can't she at least tell them how much she'll give them? Nikki is horrified and assures her she doesn't have to give them anything. Mrs York protests that she will - tomorrow, and goes inside. Nikki is concerned at how upset she seemed and tells Mike off for harassing her.

At the Robinsons:
Jim is confiding in Helen about things finally being over with Zoe. The kids come in all hyper about their collections. Jim excuses himself and Helen tells them about Zoe losing her baby. They are shocked and Scott asks whether he should say something to Jim or pretend he doesn't know? Helen says it'd be nice if he could have a word to him so he goes into the living room and gives him a hug.

At the office:
Debra is on the phone giving away all the office secrets to her dad. Paul comes in and she pretends to be on the phone to a customer. When she hangs up she tells him a few deals that were in the pipeline are starting to come through... he congratulates her, not realising he's the deal in the pipeline.

At the coffee shop:
Daphne is looking at Mike's war wounds. She's sure there would have been an easier way to get Nikki back. Des barges in and asks her if she's ready to talk yet? She's still got customers so can't. He sighs and asks if she's ever heard the saying "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do?" She answers that she has and he replies "Well this is what I've gotta do." before throwing her over his shoulder and walking out with her.
