The episode kicked off by showing the same morning but from two different perspectives. Shona’s was the first to play out, with the expecting mum clearly struggling. David’s was next, also struggling but trying to put on a brave face for his wife. At the hospital, the couple were then told more about their baby’s condition and that Shona would need surgery if they chose to go forward with the pregnancy.

Once Shona realised that David was only trying to act strong for her sake, she tried to offer him some words of support as the tears filled in his eyes. The episode then switched to David’s version of the morning. He was struggling, especially with Audrey’s gushy baby talk at the salon. Making a harsh comment towards client Mary, David headed off as his emotions started to become too hard to keep hidden. After Shona insisted on going to the hospital alone, David assured her he was going nowhere and headed to the appointment with her.

They were then offered an abortion, being told that if they wished to continue with the pregnancy it would require a complex exit surgery that came with risks for both mother and child. Shona didn’t want to face reality and instead only chose to focus on the reveal that their baby is a girl. She then headed home and celebrated the news with the rest of the family, failing to tell them about their baby’s health. After everyone had gone, David tried to encourage Shona to face reality. Shona told him that there was a chance that their baby could survive and grow up healthy. She was having the surgery. David Platt then had an opposing view that caused huge tensions, admitting that he didn’t know whether the risk of potentially losing Shona was worth the surgery. He explained that bad things happen all the time and that they’re unavoidable just like Kylie’s death was. Nevertheless though, Shona was adamant that surgery was the right way forward.
