Worried he's done something stupid, Adam pours over Sarah's phone for any glimmer of a message from him to confirm he was alive. As Adam admits what happened to Sarah, she starts bleeding and starts worrying that she's losing the baby. As she rushes to the hospital, will the baby be okay?

Later on, the thought of the paternity debate looms over Adam, as he discusses the potential an abortion if the baby isn't his with Daniel. Stressed and due in court, Adam ends up having a panic attack in the court house, much to Dee-Dee's horror. Will Adam come to terms with what's happening to him?

In the Bistro to celebrate Sally's birthday, Elaine invites her Tai-Chi instructor, Gerry, over and it's safe to say Stephen's not impressed.
