Plot
Nicola pleads with Lexi to give her baby back. Lexi instead demands that Carl tell her why he's happy to coo over Angelica, but won't have a baby with his own wife. Carl can't give Lexi a straight answer. Nicola continues to plead with Lexi to give Angelica back, but Lexi lays into Carl and tells Nicola this is the only way she can get his attention. Lexi begs Carl to let her try for another baby. Everyone is in agreement that Carl needs to give her an answer, but he continues to evade her pleas. Jimmy urges Carl to either give Lexi some hope or put her straight and Carl finally looks her in the eye and tells her he won't have a child with her. Lexi is stunned by Carl's blunt words and takes a wobbly step back holding Angelica. Carl confesses that he doesn’t love her and he never has. Lexi is gutted to be faced with a truth she's been trying to hide from. Nicola and Jimmy are terrified that Lexi will jump with the baby, but Lexi comes to her senses and gives the baby back. Also, in the midst of the drama Jimmy and Nicola decide to get married.
