Episode 6439 (2nd January 2013)

Plot
Charity knows something is up with Jai as he cancels a lunch date and is increasingly more distracted. Rishi fears that Jai is not doing a good job of hiding his worries. At the same time, over at the hospital, Rachel is terrified for Archie when the doctor tells her that the newborn has developed an infection but adds that they've caught it early.

Later, Jai is even more worried when he discovers that Archie has taken a turn for the worst and goes to leave Rachel a voicemail. Rishi follows him out, angrily telling Jai that he won't watch him throw his life away.

Meanwhile, Megan tries to encourage Declan to spend time with Katie. Soon afterwards, Katie apologises to Declan, saying they have plenty of time to work through things. That evening, however, Megan is concerned when Katie suggests leaving Declan, knowing she'll never be enough for him.

Elsewhere, Edna distances herself from the other workers as she can't afford to have lunch with them at the pub, Robbie is unimpressed when Declan thanks him for his hard work and mentions a pay rise, Jimmy discovers that the police won't be reopening Tom's case, while Belle decides to go for it with Luke after Charity advises her to ignore the 'girl code'.
