Plot
As a new day dawns in the village, Edna is anxious and wants to help Sandy, telling him that she's his friend. She's shocked when she discovers that Ashley has hurt Sandy. Later, Laurel returns home to Mulberry Cottage and tells Ashley that if he stays, he can't be left alone with his dad or the kids. She then heads out to see Sandy, telling him that she'll support him whatever he decides to do. However, Edna doesn't think Sandy should go back home and promises to let him stay with her as long as he wants. Sandy doesn't know what to do, but knows he can't split up his family. He's determined to see Ashley and goes with Laurel. At Mulberry, Ashley desperately apologises to them both for his behaviour, but Laurel makes it clear that she's only there for Sandy. Ashley fears he has lost her forever. Meanwhile, Declan is unimpressed to discover that Carl spent the night with Megan. Later, Megan is vacant with Carl at the pub, much to Chas's amusement. Megan then takes her bad mood out on Jai, commenting on his parenting skills. Back at Home Farm, Declan wants Megan to apologise to Jai, but he realises that her attitude is because of her son Robbie. She walks out, leaving Katie puzzled and Declan worried. Elsewhere, Pollard tries to apologise to Brenda but she's not interested, Nikhil's not pleased to have Noah around while Charity is away, while Chas and Cameron are awkward with one another in the pub.
