Peggy tells Minty to get her a visiting order so she can go to see Sam in prison. In the prison visiting room, Minty tries to make Sam forgive her mum, but she stubbornly refuses. As Sam angrily gets up to leave, she faints. Afterwards, having been taken to hospital to recover, Sam shocks Minty by explaining that Phil and Peggy had tried to pin Archie's murder on her, which is why she wants nothing to do with them. Later on, Minty tells Ricky about Sam's pregnancy and says that Ricky is the father. Ricky is extremely shaken and argues that it could be Jack's baby. He then refuses to get involved, saying it would ruin his relationship with Bianca.
When he returns to The Vic, Minty tells Peggy that Sam doesn't want to see her. Peggy is ashamed when Minty reveals that he knows that she and Phil tried to stitch up Sam for Archie's death. Peggy clutches at straws, still desperate to see Sam, but Minty says it's too late and the damage is done, leaving Peggy feeling upset. Back at the hospital ward, Sam is distraught that Ricky has turned his back on her and is scared to have her baby on her own. Seeing that Sam is broken, Minty asks her to marry him, telling her he has always loved her and will never let her down. When Sam doesn't respond, Minty feels a fool and goes to leave, prompting an emotional Sam to look down at her pregnant belly and say yes. Minty is overjoyed.
Meanwhile, at Christian's flat, Syed is embarrassed when he has to ask Christian for money to do some shopping. Syed resolves to get himself a job and later tells Tamwar that he wants to go back into the property market. However, when he calls his old contacts with no success, Syed feels disillusioned.

Heather is upset when Minty tells her about his engagement, but she tries to stay strong and accompanies him to the jewellers to help him choose a ring. While there, Heather gets carried away when the sales assistant assumes that she is the one he is engaged to. Later, Minty is annoyed to discover Ricky visiting Sam at the hospital. After Ricky leaves, Sam tells Minty that she can see that Ricky still loves her. She brushes off the fact that she had agreed the night before to marry Minty, saying she was in agony and only said that to shut him up. Minty tries to save face by saying he hadn't taken it seriously anyway, but really he is heartbroken.
Unaware of the recent turn of events, Heather later gives Minty a 'congratulations' cupcake, at which point Minty explodes. Heather tries to comfort Minty by saying there is no-one better than him. Minty moves in to kiss her, but she pulls away, saying he hurt her too much the last time. When Minty asks Heather why she is still willing to be friends with him after all he did to her, she admits that marrying him was the best thing she ever did as he gave her confidence to stand on her own two feet. He leans in again to kiss her, and this time she responds…
Meanwhile, it's exam results day and Peter is irritated as Ian expects that his results won't be as good as Lucy's. Ian remains unaware that Peter worked hardest while studying for the tests, while Lucy cheated. Later, Ian is shocked when Peter tells him he got four Bs, five Cs and an A*. Ian is ecstatic for both his children, but Peter is still resentful towards Lucy and the praise she is receiving for getting six A*s. Later, Mr Allcock arrives at the Beales' house and says that inconsistencies have been noticed in Lucy's results. He says that Peter's papers, as well as Lucy's, will have to be looked at by the exam board, leaving Peter horrified.

At the Beales', Jane is furious about the school accusing Peter and Lucy of cheating - but Ian is secretly not so certain about Lucy's innocence. Later, the couple go to the school for a meeting with Mr Allcock, where he explains that Lucy failed all of her exams up to and including her English exam, but then got the highest marks in all of the tests after that. He adds that if the exam board decides Lucy and Peter cheated, they will have to take all of their exams again. Later, in the café, Peter is worried sick - knowing that he worked hard for his grades and won't do as well if he has to take his exams again.
Seeing Peter in such a state makes Lucy start to feel guilty, so she later tells Jane that she cheated. Jane is shocked, but it angers Lucy when Jane tries to make excuses for her.

Heather feels guilty that George was like this in the room next door while she was in bed with Minty. At the doctor's surgery, Darren questions Heather about why she didn't hear George's struggled breathing sooner, which makes her feel worse.
Back at Minty's, Heather pushes Minty away and tells him to give it one more try with Sam. Later, however, Minty comes to a decision and tells Heather that he wants to be with her. Heather is insistent that he still loves Sam, but he finally convinces her otherwise. He says he wants to be with her and George, but that it had just taken him a while to realise it.

Good one.
She is such a nasty piece of work. Playing Minty like that.
As Minty is leaving I hope he will not take Heather with him. She is such a joyful character even though she deserves some happiness.

Yeh well she certainly couldnt have done a test while he was still inside, but hopefully now we will get to the bottom of it! I really don't want Ricky or Jack to be the father, it would spoil both their relationships. But if I had to choose, probs Ricky. Jack's already got a baby with Ronnie's sister, a baby with Sam, another Mitchell, would probs push her over the edge!
