Is Christine pregnant? Sandy definitely is, and has decided she'll give birth on Tuesday. Mary, meanwhile, is off to Lourdes - but Ray told a few porkies to get her there. Whatever could go wrong?

Further details

Ray is determined to get himself some good publicity as a charitable do-gooder.

So he makes out that Mary is ill and then raises funds to send her to Lourdes so she can come back cured. Unfortunately, she comes back with a criminal record.

Martin is still smarting over Christine and Bobby. And now Christine thinks she might be pregnant. Will Bobby stand by her? Or will Martin?

Relationships are at breaking point. And then something else breaks - Sandy's waters.
