Episode 2886 (3rd April 2001)

==Plot==
Gloria fights for life as the truth hits home for Eric and Ashley. Gloria comes round in hospital to find Ashley at her bedside, and, mistakenly, believes him to have been the one who saved her. When Ashley explains otherwise, Gloria is pleasantly surprised. She wouldn't have thought of Eric as her knight in shining armour, but she sees a side of him that wasn't apparent before. It soon becomes clear that trying to kill herself wasn't the answer and her friends rallied round her. She then realises she should have turned to them in the first place and is very happy to have the chance to accept their offers of help. It feels good to have off-loaded the guilt she was harbouring. Meanwhile, there's gossip in the village as the Sugdens return from Spain and Tricia’s miffed when Cain and Zak arrive bearing unwanted gifts for her and Marlon.
