Episode 6296 (20th July 2012)

==Plot==
Marlon is still confused over whether to stay behind with Laurel or leave for New Zealand with his son Leo. Laurel heads to see Marlon, reminding him that she wants them to be a proper couple and a family. Later, Marlon sees Leo and as he holds his son in his arms, he is aware of the enormity of the decision. Paddy and Rhona start to suspect that Marlon is wobbling about joining them in New Zealand and Paddy tries to get the truth, but Marlon is evasive. Eventually Marlon goes to see Laurel, announcing that he wants to stay behind in the village with her. Meanwhile, Cameron knows he's in Debbie's bad books, but she doesn't want to discuss it as Sarah has another hospital appointment. Debbie's suspicions are further piqued when Cain makes it known that Cameron has vanished from work again. Cain is furious when Cameron returns to the garage but is evasive over where he has been. Later, when Debbie is out of the room, Cain confronts Cameron, who calls his bluff by showing him the reason he was away. He has bought Debbie a ring and shows it to Cain. Elsewhere, Charity taunts Rachel who is late for work after feeling sick, Robbie flirts with Priya, while Katie comes clean to Declan by revealing that Robbie freaks her out.
