Peter reaches a heartbreaking decision

At the hospital, a social worker speaks to Peter and Leanne about Simon's welfare. They start by trading insults, but they're made to realise that it's Simon they should be worrying about now. Having made a good recovery, Simon can go home - but it's Leanne that Simon wants rather than Peter.

Back at the flat, the atmosphere is tense as Peter knows that he needs to build bridges with Carla. Apologising for last night, he admits that they need a chance to overcome their problems if their relationship is ever going to work. Arriving at the pub, Peter is emotional as he tells Leanne that Simon needs her and asks her to come to the flat.

As Simon runs into Leanne's arms, Peter explains that he just wants his son to be happy. Carla is then left stunned as Peter asks Simon who he wants to live with. Will Simon break Peter's heart and choose Leanne?

Meanwhile, insisting that it's a bad idea for Sunita to stay at the pub after what she told him, Karl callously shows her some flats in the Gazette. Sunita is heartbroken by his rejection, especially when Karl insists that what they had was never going to be anything more than a bit of fun.

Sunita makes it clear that her feelings were much stronger than that, and Karl is unnerved by how much of a loose cannon she is. Forced to change tack, he plays the family card, urging Sunita to think of her kids and go back to Dev. Will he be able to persuade her?

Elsewhere, as Maria meets Marcus in the pub for lunch and then again for a drink later, Audrey clocks how much she's enjoying his company. Pulling her to one side, a concerned Audrey asks Maria if she's developing feelings for Marcus. As Maria struggles to deny it, Audrey warns her to nip it in the bud before she ruins their friendship.

Also today, convinced that Nick wants to rekindle their relationship, Eva just thinks he needs a little nudge so flirts with Jason in the Bistro. But when Jason asks her out and Nick offers to give her the night off work, a confused Eva is forced to agree to a date with Jason.
