Katie desperately tries to talk her way out of it, urging Perdy to burn the cardigan for everyone's sake. Perdy makes Katie swear to give her the baby but, twisting her words, Katie promises to give the baby to the best parent. Satisfied, Perdy destroys the cardigan, prompting Katie to show her true colours. As Katie makes a run for it, proclaiming her love for Gray (Christopher Villiers), Perdy attacks her with a poker. Katie falls on her stomach and is immediately in pain. Have the warring women put their child's life at risk?Later, Matthew (Matt Healy) is suspicious when Gray turns up at Home Farm, accusing Perdy of hurting Katie. Perdy urges Matthew to discuss the matter privately, but Gray warns him that she will lie. A troubled Matthew decides to talk to Gray, who tells him everything about Perdy's blackmail and the importance of the cardigan. Matthew is fuming that Perdy has brought her own problems into Home Farm and wastes no time in throwing her out. Who will Perdy turn to for support now?Also, Ashley (John Middleton) still can't break through to Laurel (Charlotte Bellamy) and she bluntly tells him that the mother/baby bond was much stronger than he can possibly understand. Storming out, Laurel heads to the café and is outraged by the condolence book and collection tin Viv (Deena Payne) has set up. Laurel leaves with Greg (Shaun Prendergast) in pursuit and she opens up to him about her grief. Can Ashley find a way to bridge the gap between him and Laurel?
