'You're A Big Boy Now'
Airs Thursday, May 25 2006 at 17:35 BST on BBC One
As an exhausted Steph slips in and out of sleep, a worried Lyn and Susan maintain a bedside vigil. Karl’s bound to respect Steph’s wishes and his hands are tied – he can’t remove the baby without her consent unless the baby’s life is directly threatened. Whilst unconscious, Steph imagines a world after her death and is devastated to learn the Hoyland family collapsed without her. She sees her son Charlie as a teenage boy, having grown up without a mum. Wracked with guilt, Steph awakes and orders Karl to induce the baby – she can’t let her boy grow up without her.
Struggling to cope with Steph’s illness, Boyd tries to confide in Janae but the topic of death freaks her out. Once again Boyd finds himself putting his own needs aside for Janae. His issues come to a head during anatomy class and he discovers a kindred spirit in fellow-student Sasha, who encourages Boyd to unburden his woes. Janae’s threatened by the new friendship – can she find a way to control her insecurities?
Unnerved by Izzy’s sudden turnaround, Paul confronts Harold. Put on the spot, Harold plays innocent, but is increasingly uneasy with Lou’s underhanded manipulations.
Driven mad by Angie’s counter claim that Kim came onto her, Janelle challenges Angie to back up her statement by naming the mysterious witness. Angie reveals it was Toadie, giving Janelle a new challenge – to get the truth out of her nephew.
'Campaign Charlie'
Airs Friday, May 26 2006 at 17:35 BST on BBC One
Following Steph’s change of heart, Karl prepares her for an emergency Caesarean, convinced she’s too weak to survive the duress of an induced labour. Although Steph would prefer to give birth naturally, she agrees to the operation. But she’s devastated that Max won’t be by her side during the birth of their son.
Boyd makes a desperate dash to the airport and does his best to get Max and Summer to the hospital in time. A series of unfortunate delays push Max to breaking point and Boyd bears the brunt of his anxiety. Wracked with guilt, Boyd blames himself for keeping the full extent of Steph’s condition from Max.
Meanwhile, fate intervenes in the form of Drew Kirk’s baby blanket and Steph’s waters break. Convinced it’s a sign, Steph begs Karl to let her give birth naturally – she knows she can do it. Her failing strength receives a much-needed boost when Max, Summer and Boyd finally arrive. All is forgiven as Max and Steph reaffirm their love. Karl and Susan are reminded of the birth of their own children and the powerful bond of their shared history.
With Max by her side, Steph draws on every ounce of strength she has during the long night of labour. Max is humbled by her courage and stamina. In the early hours of the morning, Steph and Max are blessed with the greatest gift of all – the birth of their healthy baby boy, Charlie Hoyland.
