Sinead (Katie McGlynn) reveals that she's pregnant at a crucial time, just when she seems to be at a crossroads when it comes to her future.

Scenes airing early next week see Daniel (Rob Mallard) take some vintage dresses into the factory to show Sinead, unaware that all hell is about to break loose thanks to his seemingly innocent decision.

When a moth flies out of Daniel's bag, it doesn't bode well for the supplies at Underworld, so he desperately tries to stop a bad situation from getting even worse.

Alya angrily accuses Daniel and Sinead of being responsible for the lost order, but Daniel hits back by revealing that Sinead is leaving Underworld anyway because they're starting their own business.
