Ava is unaware that Dexter has been tested as a suitable donor, but later at The Arches, Sam tells Dexter he won't accept his kidney if he is a match, which infuriates Dexter. Jay overhears and Abi and Lola soon find out. Dexter soon realises how big the operation is, but Lola tells him she will stand by him whatever he decides.

Ava is heartbroken when the hospital tells her she isn't a match. Dexter confesses he has also been tested, but Ava demands that he lies to Sam if he is a match. Jay is relieved when Dexter prepares to call the hospital to cancel finding out the results. But the consultant calls first; he's a match. What will Dexter do?

She storms out, unable to accept that her precious son could do such things.
