Episode 6200 (30th March 2012)

==Plot==
Ashley is worried when he realises that Sandy is not at home, but Laurel reassures him that Diane has just taken him for a drive. At the same time, Rachel is frustrated as she telephones social services and they can't tell her anything about their visit to Sandy yesterday. Later, Ashley slightly opens up to Jude, explaining how he always seems to be frustrated with Sandy. However, Ashley knows he could easily give away too much and closes down the conversation. Soon afterwards, Ashley is relieved but left still feeling guilty when Laurel receives a call from social services, who confirm they have no concerns about Sandy. Meanwhile, Aaron tries to hide his concern when Debbie reveals that the investigators think the fire was started deliberately. Debbie is suspicious and grills Cain over who could have started it. Aaron can see that Cain is already losing patience with protecting Adam. Later, Adam braces himself when he discovers that the fire investigators know it was arson. Holly and Moira are terrified for his future when he says that he will have to own up. Elsewhere, Carl can't believe that Nicola is getting her own way when Jimmy announces that he is booked in at the clinic for a vasectomy, while Nikhil thinks that David and Alicia should get together.
