It's decision time for Ollie and Brooke; will they keep their son? Kyle proves Nancy right with his recent behaviour, and Marnie plans to bring her family closer together.

Plot

Ollie looks through a memory book for Thierry. Cindy asks when Luke will tell the truth about the condition being genetic. Darren worries about breaking the news to Mandy. Cindy tells Luke that Ollie needs to know. She reminds him that Thierry's new parents need to be told too. Ollie wants to see Thierry before he is taken away. He tells Cindy that he has made a memory book for Thierry. Luke doesn't want to tell Ollie about the condition today but Cindy says that he has to. Darren breaks the news to Mandy: the doctor informed Luke that his illness is genetic - any children of Luke's have a 50% chance of developing FTD too. Mandy immediately thinks about Ollie, and Darren reminds her that DJ might have the condition too. Luke breaks the news to Ollie. Ollie worries about Thierry getting ill or him dying before meeting Thierry again. Luke tries to comfort him but Ollie says that Luke won't be around to find out if it will happen or not. Ollie immediately apologises and Luke comforts him. Brooke asks after Thierry, Nancy informs her that he cried throughout the whole night. She tells him that Thierry can go home with his new parents today. Brooke reminds herself that the new parents will foster him for six weeks, and adopt him unless Brooke or Ollie have any objections. Nancy tells Kyle that she doesn't want another baby. Kyle doesn't accept this; he tells her that after holding Brooke's baby, it felt right. Nancy is firm in her decision. Marnie is unimpressed when Romeo arrives 30 minutes late, having been out all night. James talks to Courtney about Jesse's funeral plans. She tells him that the funeral is on Tuesday. Marnie gets upset over Romeo not wanting to inherit the patisserie. She asks if he doesn't want to carry on with the Nightingale name, but Romeo reminds her that he and Juliet are Quinns. Mandy is upset; they knew what the future had for DJ and his spina bifida, but now he might have FTD. Darren informs her that they have to wait until DJ is 18 before they can test him. Mandy thinks that if Darren was DJ's biological father, he wouldn't have any of these problems. Darren reminds Mandy that they wouldn't want to change him and he comforts her. Luke and Ollie arrive in time to meet Thierry's adoptive parents, Mal and Zoe. Kyle has to leave. Brooke makes sure that the parents will look after Thierry, even if he inherits her allergy to feathers and also has autism like Brooke. Ollie gives Mal & Zoe a memory book to give to Thierry. Courtney complains to Romeo about Marnie's cappucinos, preferring his. Marnie and Courtney talk about Iona having Jesse's surname. Marnie ends up getting an idea. Kyle purchases more drugs from Jordan. Ollie visits Thierry for one last time. Brooke writes in her diary. Mandy and Darren play with DJ. Mal and Zoe take Thierry home as Ollie watches. Luke comforts him. Nancy returns home to find Kyle asleep. Nancy smells marijuana and asks Kyle if he's been smoking. She checks his coat and finds a small bag of marijuana. Kyle tells her that his leg flared up and he needed it for pain relief. He tells her that it was the first time he had taken marijuana in years. She believes him, but tells him that she doesn't want him having it in the house. She says that this proves that they're not ready for a baby. Romeo lies that he's going out to the cinema with Tom. Marnie reveals her idea to James - she wants Romeo and Juliet to legally change their surnames to Nightingale. Ollie is furious to learn that Mal and Zoe have left the memory book behind. Luke tells him to ask the social worker to give it to them. Ollie says that he will tell Brooke about the FTD once he's gotten his head around it. Kyle bursts into tears in his van as he continues to smoke. Brooke comforts an upset Ollie. He admits that he fell in love with the baby before he was born. Brooke apologises for not being able to give Ollie what he wanted, but he says that she made the right choice for her. She assures him that they'll be OK.
