However, he's unaware that Kim has managed to contact Darnell, who agrees to meet them.

Amy continues to grow closer to Craig

Jack is relieved when Denise shows signs of improvement and can be brought out of her coma.

His relief is short-lived when the doctors explain that Denise's treatment is not working and the search for a stem cell donor is now desperately urgent.

But with Priya having secretly done a paternity test, what will the results reveal?
