Ashley's spiteful, mean-spirited behaviour towards his father is not going unnoticed. Impatient Ashley leaves Sandy to struggle out of bed on his own and the old guy can't make it to the bathroom in time. Rachel finds Sandy trying to cover up his accident and promises not to say anything, but Ashley comes home and sees what has happened. He feels guilty - and so does Rachel. Wishing she'd said something sooner, Rachel tells Laurel what's going on. Laurel tries to reassure Sandy, but Ashley doesn't, he talks about putting Sandy in a home. Then goes to talk to God about how bad he is to his dad. Holly could use some help at home - and some support. But no one realises just how much she is struggling, so when she disappears no one realises that she's out buying drugs. Jimmy thinks Nicola's taken a drug that has turned her crazy when she suggests that he has a vasectomy. What?! They've agreed to have no more children, but Jimmy didn't agree to this!
