Peter and Leanne row in front of the social worker. Leanne points out that letting a child live with a couple of alcoholics is asking for trouble. Stella tells Sunita that she's welcome to stay at the Rovers for as long as she wants. Karl however takes Sunita to one side and makes it clear that he wants her out of the pub. Sunita retaliates by threatening to tell Stella about their affair. Karl's disgusted and tells her that she was just easy meat. Sunita's humiliated. The doctor tells Peter that Simon is going to be fine and he can go home. Peter's mightily relieved.
