Will Alya help her to make an official complaint?
29 MARCH - 4 APRIL
At the hospital, Dee-Dee reassures Lauren that Frankie’s stem cell transplant will be a success, but as she does, she’s overcome by pain. But as she describes her pain to the midwife, she's told to go home and rest.
Back at the flat, Dee-Dee’s waters break and in the maternity unit she sits wracked in pain whilst Ed tries to find someone. And both he and Alya are shocked when a passing midwife makes an inappropriate remark.
When a doctor takes Dee-Dee’s blood pressure, they confirm that she’s suffering from pre-eclampsia and the baby needs to come out straight away. With Dee-Dee terrified, will her baby be OK? And will Frankie come through his transplant?
When the family are finally allowed to see Dee-Dee, she appears upset when James says he would like to call the baby Laila. With the boys gone Ed is shocked when Dee-Dee tells him she has had to have an emergency hysterectomy and won’t be able to have children.
Ed implores her to think very carefully about whether she is able to give up her baby and when James finds out he knows, this could change everything.
Later, Lauren visits Dee-Dee to tell her Frankie’s operation has been a success but she is shocked by Dee-Dee’s reaction. And as Dee-Dee finally makes her decision about Laila’s future, James gets a text that could change everything.
As Dee-Dee readies to leave the hospital, a worried Ed arrives carrying Laila in her car seat and she is shocked when Ed reveals what has happened and why he is looking after Laila.
At the house Dee-Dee tells Sarah and Alya that her condition was avoidable and a result of gross negligence and she intends to make an official complaint. And Alya offers to start the process for her.
