Carol numbly holds the picture of Dan with Bianca. Shocked, she demands to know the truth. Dan claims he had a fling with Bianca but insists that it's all in the past. Carol doesn't believe him; his absences and strange behaviour begin to make more sense. Dan panics. He tries to salvage their relationship with an extravagant pack of lies. He ends by swearing on the life of their unborn child that he's telling the truth. Distraught, Carol flees to the Vic to confront Bianca. Alone and distraught, Carol finds solace in a bottle of vodka. She begins downing pills. Bianca frantically enters the Vic, looking for Ricky. Robbie, Sonia and Peggy make it plain she's not welcome. Restless, Dan lets himself in the house. He finds Carol slumped on the bathroom floor. Carol comes to and vomits the pills up. Dan tries to console her, urging her to be strong for the baby. Carol resolves to terminate it.
