Sonya can't bear to be in doubt any more. She takes a pregnancy test. Her fears are confirmed: she is pregnant. She confides in Jade, who encourages her to take a second test to be sure. Sonya is completely thrown when that turns up negative. To add insult to injury, Toadie catches her red-handed with the tests! He forces her to go to the hospital to get confirmation. The pair try to remain respectful of each other's feelings, but when Toadie gently points out how things have changed and talks about the idea of a future with a baby, Sonya is torn. When she receives the news that she's been hoping for, that the test is negative, she has a surprising reaction. Sophie is struggling with the guitar she borrowed from school, and Kate is adamant she won't buy one until she's proved her commitment to the instrument. So when a package arrives in the form of a brand new guitar and amp from a mysterious benefactor, Sophie chooses to lie to Kate in order to keep it. Lucas continues to distract himself from his inheritance worries, playing hooky with Michelle. But when she discovers his secret, Michelle pushes him to open up. Which is exactly what he was avoiding.
