Ellen’s sister, Carrie Parsons, is arrested for drug possession and their mother begs Ellen to help. Meanwhile, unaware that she already knows the truth, Michael Hewes tells his mother that he is going to be a father as he looks for details about their family’s medical history.

Pressed for details, Winstone tells Carol about what happened when he called on Danielle Marchetti. And when Carol reports back about the conversation, Patty realises that Tessa Marchetti was at her mother’s apartment that night…
