Plot

Alice’s cancer is beginning to get the better of her. When the doctor arrives with more bad news, the Dingles realise she only has weeks to live. The doctor suggests she move into a hospice but Alice insists on staying at home with Sam and Samson. Meanwhile, Matthew and Sadie are at loggerheads in the haulage yard office. Matthew threatens Sadie and tells her that he'll tell people the truth about the JCB incident. Elsewhere, when Sandy overhears Jasmine failing to rearrange her abortion appointment, he asks Jasmine outright if she is pregnant.
