Vanessa continues her investigation into Faye's son Archie emergency surgery and subsequent sudden death and discovers that Faye changed Archie's bag of saline because Lauren had forgotten to do so, a fact that Lauren was only too pleased to pass on when she found out that Ric and Connie were trying to cover it up. This ended in Vanessa suspending Ric, Connie and Faye whilst the investigation continued. Meanwhile, Maria tried to get Chantelle Tanner to confess to the murder of Maddy which she denied but it was Mark that managed to get a confession after blackmailing her with threats to care worker Adam Bowden who was also the father of her baby.
