As this happens, Mike pays a visit to Kenny's home, where he reveals he knows about the curb-crawling, and if he doesn't want Mrs Bruce to find out, Kevin better have his place back on the hard left. Kevin himself, meanwhile, goes to Isabelle's house, bringing presents for the son he never knew existed. There, he learns that Isabelle has remarried, and her husband adopted Archie when they were married. She tells Kevin that she wants Archie to continue believing that Damian is his dad, and for Kevin to walk away, as they don’t need a Santa Clause showing up every now and then with presents they can't afford.

They get to the hospital to find Ann had to be operated on, and the trio go in where Ann tells Terry they have a son. Terry is consumed with guilt over not being there while Ann was in danger, and promises he'll never let her down again. |
