Hospital facts, factory pressure and a row that lands at the worst moment
Shona and David’s routine scan becomes a medical crisis when a mass is found on their baby’s neck, leading into a consultant-led episode. At the factory, Fiz’s stress spills over while Carla challenges inconsistencies in Becky’s account. Elsewhere, Will’s secrecy around coach Megan alarms his household, and Brody’s confrontation with Sally and Tim happens in front of the wrong witness.
Monday
Scan day turns serious for the Platts
After a clash at the precinct, David is taken into custody for shoving Kit and misses Shona’s pick-up; Kit later brings him to the hospital. In the scanning room, a mass on the baby’s neck is detected and the couple are told to prepare for further assessment. The tone shifts from routine to clinical urgency in minutes.
Shona asks for straight answers while David tries to stay upbeat and ends up sounding distant. In the quiet of the corridor, they both admit they’re scared and agree to focus on clear information over guesswork. Family support begins to gather around them.
By the end of the day, they have follow-up timings, practical advice, and a plan to keep visits limited. Small arguments fade into the background against medical priorities.
Carla challenges Becky; Lisa is urged to look again
On the factory floor, Carla points out gaps in Becky’s story and pushes Lisa to test claims against what actually happened. It isn’t a shouting match—just persistent questions that don’t go away. The conversation spreads quickly among colleagues.
As details are compared, inconsistencies become harder to ignore. Lisa wants to believe the best, but the pattern of changing explanations is visible to everyone. Even those trying to stay neutral start asking for specifics.
By close, positions harden politely. Carla keeps steering Lisa back to evidence, not assumption, and makes it clear that shop-floor welfare depends on clarity.
Wednesday
Fiz reaches breaking point at Underworld
Home pressures and tight deadlines collide and Fiz snaps at her station in front of Izzy, Kirk and Michael. The moment travels fast to Tyrone, who realises the margin has vanished. Practical help, not platitudes, becomes the plan.
Small fixes lead: swapped shifts, school runs, and simple meals to take decisions off Fiz’s plate. It doesn’t solve everything, but it stops the slide. The factory keeps moving while people quietly cover her gaps.
Back home, Tyrone and Fiz agree to a calmer routine through the weekend. The household chooses early nights and fewer commitments so energy can recover.
Consultant confirms diagnosis and options
The consultant lays out what the tumour means and the risks attached to each path. Shona keeps the questions direct, and David drops the bravado long enough to say he’s frightened. The conversation is factual and steady.
Decisions aren’t demanded on the spot. They’re given time, leaflets to read, and a contact for any change in symptoms. The emphasis is on understanding rather than rushing.
They leave with immediate steps and a short list of people to update. Boundaries are set around visitors so they can process the information together.
Friday
Will Driscoll’s secret alarms the household
Will returns with athletics coach Megan in the picture and offers an edited account of a trip that doesn’t add up. Eva and Ben pick up on the gaps immediately. A well-meant training plan from James fails because Will won’t engage.
The adults decide on firmer boundaries alongside support. Curfews, phone expectations and check-ins are agreed without turning the house into a battlefield. The message is simple: talk first, hide nothing.
By night, everyone understands the lines. Will keeps his counsel for now, but the space for secrecy narrows.
Brody vs Sally and Tim—caught by a social worker
Brody confronts Sally and Tim over being shut out of Lou’s issues and chooses the loudest moment to do it. Joanie arrives with a social worker who hears the row from start to finish. What began as clumsy protection now looks like control.
Notes are taken and the adults realise apologies won’t be enough. Inclusion has to be shown in practice: information shared, decisions made together, and fewer closed-door chats. The family agree to start again with clearer ground rules.
The day ends with everyone calmer and a plan to rebuild trust. Future assessments will be stricter, but there’s a path back if actions match words.
