News of Sarah's illness is spreading and Sarah announces to Pete and Emma that she has cancer. Leyla encourages Pete to go and see Debbie. Will turns up at Mulberry Cottage and Laurel explains Ashley has gone back into day care. Rhona tells Pierce that last night was weird and wonders why he'd want to have another dinner party. Debbie and Pete have a catch up and Debbie tells her ex-husband that she's pleased for him and Leyla. Ross appears and questions why Debbie didn't tell him about Sarah's illness. Sam tells Zak he's being selfish. Debbie talks to Ross about her worries over the cancer and losing Sarah asks what's going on between Ross and Rebecca. Zak questions what Sam meant earlier, and Sam reminds his dad that Wishing Well is no longer his house and things are different now. Sam suggests he divorce Joanie. Laurel suggests Will call in sometimes and Will encourages Laurel to get out with her friends sometimes and be good to herself as life still goes on. Ross insists Debbie can have a child with cancer and love a man at the same time, but Debbie questions if Ross slept with Charity whilst she was away. Ross lies that he didn't, but Debbie knows he did. Ross proclaims his love for Debbie and insists they should get back together. Rebecca tells Lawrence and Chrissie about the meeting that she's set up to bring in more business. Ross asks why he and Debbie can't get back together, but Debbie is adamant Sarah needs to be the focus. She questions how much time Ross spends with Moses and encourages him to go home to his son. Debbie insists all that matters is getting the money for Sarah's treatment, and Ross losing her is nothing compared to her losing Sarah. Ashley returns home from the day centre.
