Episode 6435 (27th December 2012)

==Plot==
Declan panics about Katie as he watches the medical team treat her. He is concerned further when the doctor explains that Katie has got some sort of infection and needs a scan. Soon afterwards, it emerges that Katie has an abscess on her ovary and she needs surgery today. Later, Declan struggles to take everything in when the doctor tells him that Katie is out of theatre, but there have been complications and her chances of having children are small. Declan says that he wants to be the one to break the news to her. Meanwhile, Ashley is thrown but covers his hurt when he discovers that Bernice and Steve are moving into his old house, and Steve apologises for Bernice's tactless manner. Rodney asks Bernice if she's sure moving into Mulberry is a good idea, but she insists it's what she wants. Later, Bernice tries to be as helpful as possible at the pub, continuing her plan to take over. Elsewhere, Zak introduces himself to Dom as he drops a parcel off for Bernice, explaining that Belle is friends with his daughter. Later in the café, Moira and Dom get off to a bad start but she thaws towards him and the pair flirt. Also, Zak advises Cain to sort things with Moira.
