Kevin is referred for more tests by Dr Gaddas and, unable to talk to an emotionally-distracted Abi, he opens up to Tim. When he returns home he finds Alfie and Abi asleep on the sofa - and while he's taking Alfie up to bed, Debbie lets herself in, waking Abi, who accuses her of stealing Alfie. Kevin fumes at Abi for her over-reaction and in the heat of the moment, blurts out that he's found a lump and may have testicular cancer.

Also: Carla realises that if she accepts Rob's offer of a kidney then it will cost her £100,000 to go private because he's a prisoner and will need security in hospital.
Elsewhere, Leanne's left thoughtful when Tracy tells her that she's better off without Nick, while Daniel admits to Adam that he suspects Cassie is poisoning Ken but can't say anything because she knows Daisy may be pregnant by him and is blackmailing him to stay quiet.
