Lexi is about to head back to the ward when she notices all the happy couples with their new born babies and caught up in the moment she wanders into the stairwell, watched by Scarlett who is busy running errands for Jimmy. When Scarlett arrives back she informs oblivious Nicola and Jimmy that Lexi has the baby, panicking they make their way upstairs and are horrified to find her on the roof with their daughter.
