Val insists that Eric go to the hospital for a check-up when he has more chest pains after lifting some heavy items at the factory.

Val tells Eric to pull out of the election or risk damaging his health. Mark tries to remain focused on giving Natasha the day she deserves as the preparations for the vow renewal ceremony spiral out of control around him. Cain hints to Maisie that she should invite him as her plus one, but a tempted Maisie turns him down. Mark corners Cain and warns him to stay away from Maisie and insists he'll do anything it takes to stop him. Ashley discovers Nicola's ultrasound picture and is flooded with relief when Laurel reveals that it's Nicola's and not hers. Laurel is made uneasy by Ashley's reaction and Ashley is forced to confess that he feels too terrified to try for another child after the trauma of losing Daniel. Laurel realises that their dreams for the future may not coincide.
