Dot wonders where Sue is after seeing Ali pull up in the Square with his son. Bystanders try to calm Sue down but she gets hostile and is arrested. Michelle sings to Vicki at the hospital. Vicki's eyes open and Michelle is overcome with happiness. Sharon and Simon share the good news with Arthur and Pauline. A police officer visits Ali to inform him that Sue has been admitted to a psychiatric ward and sedated. Unaware that Ali has kidnapped their son, she is led to believe that Ali had him all along. Dot cannot help but wonder what is going on with Ali and tries desperately to get the gossip. Pauline tells Arthur she has signed him up for his favourite television quiz show - Cat and Mouse. Dot knocks on Ali's flat door and invites herself in. She tells the police officer that Sue would never leave Little Ali alone and is concerned for her safety. Ali admits that he abducted Little Ali but did it because she took him in the first place. Ian does not think it will be long before he takes over the café. He phones Ali to find out where he is and learns about Sue's mental deterioration. Ali decides to go and visit Sue in the psychiatric ward. Simon admits to Sharon that he wants a relationship with her. Sharon tells him she feels the same way, but does not want lies between them. Simon promises there will be no lies and they kiss. Ali tells Sue he took Little Ali. An incognizant Sue fails to acknowledge anything he says. |
