Following the inquest Dave is due his compensation but seeing footage of Rita's last ride and learning that Stuart wants to adopt Lucy makes him feel he should put the kids' welfare above his relationship with Sarah. This is compounded after Warren,finding out about the affair,sleeps with Dave's daughter Tanya out of revenge and tells her everything. Tanya then confronts her father in front of the other kids and Sarah,who leaves,at Dave's request. Sarah disappears and Dave begins to see how much she means to him. Learning that she has resigned from her teaching job he packs the kids - who all want her to come back - into the car and tracks her down. She is pregnant but,as he tells her,he loves babies and,egged on by his kids,asks her to be part of his family.
